<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I had an extent of 0 0 360 120 (units inches, 10ftx30ft)<br>
<br>
Anyway, I think I tried zooming in to 50 50 80 80 and the "80" values seem to have been the problem. I can send the actual link tomorrow if you want I have it in browser cache at the other desk.<br>
<br>
I set the Map projection to 4326 and it all works fine. Must be the two 80s without one being a negative as you described. And yes I was using a CGI.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">MapServer has no default, it’s just uses a simple Cartesian coordinate system. HOWEVER, the CGI does have some hooks that tries to auto-detect lat/lon coordinates and automatically convert them to what’s set
in the MAP’s projection block. I believe that only kicks in if there is a projection block defined.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt; font-family:"Comic Sans MS""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt; font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">So I was trying to just display some data without a coordinate system assigned. And I ended up eventually getting a LAT/LON (out of range) error. Once I set the projection in
the MAP block to something resembling a XY projection, all was well.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt; font-family:"Comic Sans MS""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:8.0pt; font-family:"Comic Sans MS"">I suspect that LAT/LON is the default? Is there a way to do something other than what I did to use simple Cartesian coordinates?</span></p>
