[mapguide-users] Loading own data

[kenny at keniginc.com]

Currently, we have a couple of mapguide apps running. The coordinate  
system for one is in State Plane Georgia West NAD 83 US Feet  
(GA83-w(GA83-W)) while the uses XY-FT (Arbitrary X-Y Coordinates) US  
Survey.

And of course the one I posted in Lat Longs category.

So, not real sure what I need to do to resolve this.

Thanks any and all help.
