I have been having issues with getting the an openlayers tiled
mapDefinition to match
up with some markers coming out of the database.

So in classic, take a step back and try and solve the problem I just
did a quick test using
Mapguide studio 2009 with the Sheboygan samples, and i have found what
appears to be a
serious discrepancy between the co-ordinates being reported (and used?)

Open a flexible web layout and a basic web layout from the Sheboygan samples.

Zoom into district 8 and note the co-ordinates for the intersection of
N 3rd St & Parks street

The Flexible Layout reports (x: -88.2986, y: 44.062)
The Basic Layout reports (x: -87.704540 y:43.765598)

Google agrees with the basic layout co-ordinates
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Sheboygan+&ie=UTF8&ll=43.765636,-87.704528&spn=0.002677,0.007167&z=18&iwloc=addr

Is there a reason behind this?
