[mapguide-users] Fusion vs Basic web layouts using Sheboygan samples report very different co-ordinates

[Mike Adair]

I can confirm that this is indeed a Fusion issue.  Internally, Fusion is 
using a different value for 'metersPerUnit' that what is returned by the 
mapguide server.  Look for this to be resolved soon in SVN.  The 
geography of the underlying map is correct however.
