[mapserver-users] dynamic point with reference map

[Kieran J. Ames]

I'd like to inquire about this functionality on the Image being rendered... not
on any reference map.
I've taken a regular map file and added the same kind of arguments as follows to
the URL, but cannot find any change in the map I've created. I use decimal
degrees, so I chose LAT/LON values that are approximately in the center of the
image. (I switched the order of LAT/LON to see if I was wrong there.)
&map_webuser_feature=new&map_webuser_feature_points=-71.965000+43.254000&map_webuser_feature_text=My+House

&map_webuser_feature=new&map_webuser_feature_points=43.254000+-71.965000&map_webuser_feature_text=My+House

Should the above additions to the URL work?
Here's the full URL, but it's behind our firewall and not accessable on the net.

http://mi.keyspanenergy.com:81/mapserv/mapserv.exe?map=%2Fmaps%2Ftmp%2F1019503669885.map&imgext=-71.969000+43.250000+-71.961000+43.258000&imgbox=5+16+477+492&imgxy=5+16&mode=browse&zoom=1&map_webuser_feature=new&map_webuser_feature_points=43.254000+-71.965000&map_webuser_feature_text=My+House

Thanks for any help.
Kieran
