Jay, 

Here are three different MapFiles for reprojecting the BING map data to
Our coordinate system (Ramsey County [Yes it's a custom projection])
Should give you an idea of how to use MapServer to do the reprojection
on the WMS from the BING server for your own uses.  If you want to use a
generic and BING compatible projection, just run a WMS getCapabilities
against their server to find out what they can export for, on of which
is EPSG:4326, these are from their beta service. 

#1  BING Aerial layer

Thanks Duck for your thoughts…. 

I agree that there would be some time investment required to go to Lat
Long….just a batch reprojection of 20 or so layers….minor code change… 

But it might better well serve me to invest that little time before I
invest a bunch of time to incorporate all my additional code into 2.0. 
That and the learning curve to absorb the new code structure….At least
this way I am up and running…. 

In their example on the their webpage they have it 4326…what other
projection should I attempt to use? What are my other options if any? 

What would recommend… 

Have you done this yet… 

Will changing from this: 

width=1000&height=1000 &bbox=-105,35,-100,40 

To this work in this case? 

WIDTH=%WIDTH%&HEIGHT=1000&height=%HEIGHT%
&bbox=-%MINX%,%MINY%,%MAXX%,%MAXY% 

Thanks Again

Sure it'd be possible but you'd have a helluva lot work to do
reprojecting things.  And I'm not sure that Bing maps REALLY works in
4326, I'm sure they have it reprojected to something reasonable for
viewing.

But I am on the right path correct…..this is possible correct 

GM 2.0 

So I can do this no sweat in GM2.0 

GM 1.6 

What if I changed the projection in my 1.6 app to Lat Long would it be
possible then? 

THanks

Are you trying to do this with GM1.6? If so, you're a bit SOL, 2.0 has
all this capability but for the most part, GM1.6 is intended for single
projection mapping.

I am trying to consume Bing aerials (not pbliques)…dont know if this is
even possible….but I was told it was…just consume the WMS service 
I am trying this…and hitting a wall..,... 
I assume the projection is off to begin with…lat long below I think…

<map title=”TESTING” default=”false” zindex”-1”> 
http://integrate.onterrasys.com/onterrawms_latlon?service=WMS&version=1.1.1&request=GetMap%20&layers=OnTerraWMS&styles=Aerial&transparent=FALSE&exception=&format=image/jpeg&srs=EPSG:4326&width=1000&height=1000%20&bbox=-105,35,-100,40

) 
</map> 

I tried to replace this: 
width=1000&height=1000 &bbox=-105,35,-100,40 

With this 
WIDTH=%WIDTH%&HEIGHT=1000&height=%HEIGHT%
&bbox=-%MINX%,%MINY%,%MAXX%,%MAXY% 

Still nothing… 

Has anyone tried this yet…..if I have to set my GeoMOOSE app to lat long
then I will….. 
Thoughts? 

THanks
