[mapguide-users] Loading own data

[Dave Wilson]

That will only work if your data was sampled in Lat Long.

Did your data have a .prj file included with it? If not can you find out
from the source what coordinate system it is in? This is critical if you
wish to merge data in a map.

I used the same coordinate system recommended by the manual which is
WGS84 datum, Latitude-Longitude; Degrees in the category of Lat Longs.

I figured since it worked the sample data, it should work for me.
