[mapguide-users] Generating tiles for google maps

[George McLean]

Thanks for the suggestions. I tried removing quotes and using CDATA but 
have not had any success yet. I think the quotes are not problem. I 
tried another projection from another map and it worked fine. The XML of 
the working file is below.

<CoordinateSystem>
PROJCS["WORLD-MERCATOR",GEOGCS["LL84",DATUM["WGS84",SPHEROID["WGS84",6378137.000,298.25722293]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["Degree",0.017453292519943295]],PROJECTION["Mercator_1SP"],PARAMETER["false_easting",0.000],PARAMETER["false_northing",0.000],PARAMETER["central_meridian",0.00000000000000],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",0.00000000000000],PARAMETER["latitude_of_origin",0.00000000000000],UNIT["Meter",1.00000000000000]]
</CoordinateSystem>
<Extents>
<MinX>0</MinX>
<MaxX>0</MaxX>
<MinY>0</MinY>
<MaxY>0</MaxY>
</Extents>
<BackgroundColor>FFFFFFFF</BackgroundColor>
<Metadata />
</MapDefinition>


I think there must be something in the coordinate definition that does 
not work.

<CoordinateSystem>
PROJCS["unnamed",GEOGCS["unnamed 
ellipse",DATUM["unknown",SPHEROID["unnamed",6378137,0]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Mercator_2SP"],PARAMETER["standard_parallel_1",0],PARAMETER["central_meridian",0],PARAMETER["false_easting",0],PARAMETER["false_northing",0],UNIT["Meter",1],EXTENSION["PROJ4","+proj=merc 
+a=6378137 +b=6378137 +lat_ts=0.0 +lon_0=0.0 +x_0=0.0 +y_0=0 +k=1.0 
+units=m +nadgrids=@null +wktext  +no_defs"]]
</CoordinateSystem>

I need to educate myself on the parameters in these WKT coordinate 
definitions.

Thanks again for the help,

George
