I think the problem is setting the initial extents.

Find this line in the mapbook:
<view title="Full State View" default="true" invisible="true">189783.560000,4816309.330000,761653.524114,5472346.500000</view>

And change it to 
<view title="Full View" default="true" invisible="true">MINX,MINY,MAXX,MAXY</view>

This is something we are planning to change for version 1.2.0, it's very confusing and an artifact of the old City of Saint Paul project on which GeoMOOSE was based.

Thank you very much for all your responses, however it is impossible to make Geomoose work with my data.

when I follow the how-to : "Basic How to Add Your Own Data Layers" 

(from the URL:http://www.geomoose.org/moose/documentation/how-tos/basic-how-to-add-your-own-data-layers) then everything seems ok and I can successfully add a new shp file (from the MN DNR data deli).

Then  I try to remove all map layers from the demo and add my own map elements for my own data. 

Thus:

I created a new folder called aktogrammi under maps_statedemo folder where I put the data about a shapefile called aktogrammi (.shp, .prj, .sbn, .sbx, .dbf, .shx files)

Then, I added the following 
<map title="aktogrammi" default="true">

<file>/ms4w/apps/GeoMOOSE/maps_statedemo/aktogrammi/aktogrammi.map</file>

</map>

into the statedemo.xml file

I removed all <map> elements in the statedemo.xml files that corresponded to the existing map layers 

(    from '<map title="County Map" ' to 'map title="USGS 7.5&apos; Quads" '  )

the aktogrammi.map file is the following:

MAP

NAME 'test_please_run!'

SIZE 800 650

PROJECTION

'init=epsg:2100'

END

STATUS ON

EXTENT 654482.650706199 4310740.53966996 729748.549950696 4366667.28424747

END

END

STYLE

COLOR 255 255 255

OUTLINECOLOR 115 223 255

END #STYLE

END #CLASS

END #LAYER

END ## end Map

I put the aktogrammi.map file in the aktogrammi folder.

However, it does not work and unfortunatelly the log file of apache does not help at all.

You can see the picture of my problematic application in the URL

http://195.251.137.181/geomoose/statedemo2.html

What could be the reason for this?

I really thank you in advance!

It is UTM-15N.

The projection support in GeoMoose has been developed on an as needed basis. Currently it is only used for two things. The first is displaying the lat-long in status bar at the bottom of the page. The second is if you invoke any services which require a lat-long input.

If you want to add your own projection you can start here: http://www.geomoose.org/moose/documentation/how-tos/how-to-add-your-own-projection/ Basically, it involves writing a javascript function that takes in your coordinate pairs and returns lat-long.

The imagery, identify and select tools are all controlled by Mapserver which has fairly good projection support through the Proj.4 library. GeoMoose just passes through what Mapserver returns, so there shouldn't be any problems with the core functionality.

Hello list!

I am a totally new user of GeoMoose. I  believe that it is the best MapServer client.
My question is the following: In the stateconfiguration.xml file, I must change the  "var MAP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM = 'UTM-15';"  variable and specify a different projection system (my data are in the GGRS87 projection system).

What exactly is the projection system of UTM-15 (maybe UTM Zone 15N or maybe UTM Zone 15S?)  ?

Do I have to change the MAP_COORDINATE_SYSTEM variable?What are its valid values?

The log file does not specify anything about what is going wrong. 

I really thank you in advance,
