[mapguide-users] Sheboygan Dataset on mgos 1.2 beta

[Walt Welton-Lair]

I've tracked down the problem to the Sheboygan data set itself.  All
source data in the data set should be using the same coordinate system.
In our case though, the VotingDistricts feature source shows "LL84"
while all the others show some a different one - "WGS84 Lat/Long's,
Degre" ...  The WKTs for these two are different.

The key difference in the WKTs - the part that's causing the shift - is
in the inverse flattening parameter of the SPHEROID.  In one the value
is 0, and in the other it's 298.  So to fix this I think we simply need
to republish all the data files for the data set using the same
coordinate system (and also make sure it's the right one).

Yes Jackie,
  I see the same. Districts to the north by about 200%.

Hi All,

I've been playing around with the 1.2 beta and I've noticed when I
brought
up the Sheboygan Sample Dataset, that the "Districts" layer has been
displaced to the north. 

Has anyone else noticed this? Problem with the data? Regression in
MapGuide?

Regards,

- Jackie
