[Geomoose-users] [Geomoose for beginner's

Mon Sep 2 19:54:02 PDT 2013

If you are using Google Maps you will need to use the projection and max
extent from the demo.  You will also need to be sure the Google maps API is
referenced from geomoose.html.  You may also need a Google Maps API key.

If you are not using Google Maps, your projection or initial extent or both
are still wrong.  X,Y is the coordinate in the projection being used by
GeoMoose.  (The one set in the Mapbook).  The initial extent and max extent
need to be given in that same projection.  Lon/Lat are how GeoMoose
transforms its given projection to Latitude and Longitude (it doesn't do
datum translation so it is in whatever datum the orig coordinates were
in).  USNG is US National Grid which is basically the same as MGRS.  The
message is complaining that it cannot calculate a USNG coordinate because
the Latitude is > 90°N.

Also, remove the map-source blocks from the Mapbook that reference the
Google layers.
