[Geomoose-users] [Geomoose for beginner's

It seems like the standard projection for South Africa if I am
correct,"hartebeesthoek94".

Just take your extent from a GIS desktop software and put it in the
"initial_extent" section. You can take out the "max_extent" for now.

Also, when I first started using GeoMoose, I got rid of all the layers,
params and features I did not need for my map; It's easier to see how it
works in this way.

Best,
