<p class="MsoNormal">Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am trying to get my maps to dynamically Zoom out from a location via a CGI call with URL variables. I am using mapserver 6.2, and calling in MODE=MAP since I am embedding the call in some HTML, I don’t know if that matters. I am also
giving a MAPEXT, but what I would like is to have it ZOOM out from that MAPEXT a bit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have tried the URL parameters: ZOOM, and the combo of ZOOMOUT/ZOOMDIR – all seem to have no success. I have also tried SCALEDENOM and my map dissapears (values between 2400 – 24000 – 240000) – I confess that my topography knowledge is
lacking there. Any help would be appreciated – below are functioning URLs (but they don’t scale).<o:p></o:p></p>
