[mapguide-users] Geometry vs. Geography. Projections. Distortions

[miansi]

Hello,

I have 2 shape files with geography and geometry data.
If I will present geography data on the map it will look distorted.
Geometry data looks OK.
In real application we would use SQL 2008 instead of shape files to store
spatial information.

Is it possible to tell (MapGuide/Map?) to apply projection to geography
data, so it will not going to look distorted on the map?

The reason is - that it is looks like Lat/Long is the "standard"
interopability format and we would like to store all our Geo data in
Geography format. But when it comes to presenting data we would like to see
it in geometry format.

Is it possible it all? What are the best practices?

Please see image attached.
