[mapserver-users] WMS bounding box

[Tom.Kralidis at ccrs.nrcan.gc.ca]

Hi,

The difference between the two are LatLonBoundingBox gives the coverage in
EPSG:4326, whereas BoundingBox gives the coverage in the native SRS (which
may or may not be EPSG:4326).

Which to use depends on the SRS used in the GetMap request of the WMS
client.
