<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i am using Digital Chart of the World as a data
source for Mapserver.<BR>The map application enables a user to enter a GPS
coordinate (decimal degrees) and <BR>plot the point against the layers from DCW.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the website (<A
href="http://www.maproom.psu.edu/cgi-bin/dcw/dcwarea.cgi?Asia">http://www.maproom.psu.edu/cgi-bin/dcw/dcwarea.cgi?Asia</A>)
where the data was downloaded, the projection info is<BR>Projection
GEOGRAPHIC <BR>Units DD <BR>Spheroid CLARKE1866 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The application seems to run fine and shows the GPS
point correctly (didn't do any accuracy test, though).<BR>Question:<BR>1. Is
this acceptable <BR>If not, which is better,<BR>(a) reproject the GPS point to
the Geographic projection<BR>or <BR>(b) reproject the map layers to
WGS84.</FONT></DIV>
