<span class="gI">Hello,<br>I have a map.  Base layer is standard google maps, SRS of map is EPSG:900913.  I have a PostGIS database with Tiger state boundaries, native SRS is EPSG:4269.<br><br>I would like to overlay the tiger data on top of google maps.<br>

<br>Notice the SRS=EPSG%3A900913<br><br>When I change this URL to have SRS=EPSG%3A4269  I get snippets of state boundaries but they look stretched vertically.<br><br>Any thoughts/ideas?<br>thank you<br><br>-- <br>Signed,<br>
