[Mapserver-users] Extent units

[Ed McNierney]

Mario -

These data appear to be in decimal degrees, which is fine.  Make sure
you use UNITS DD in your MAP file, and set the EXTENT to use the values
below.

I have seen certain builds of shpinfo that run correctly and then crash
after generating their output.  Don't worry about it in this case, as
you have the data you need.

Hi,
    I was playing with the demo.map and now I want to use my own
shapefiles
but I do not know the EXTENT of my map..... I downloaded shapelib from
the
Internet and with shpinfo.exe I get:
Info for calles.shp
Polyline(3), 338 Records in file
File Bounds: (   -71.53179836,   -41.29253644)
        (   -71.14854968,   -41.04421467)

Then there is some unknown error . I do not know how to use these values
as
I never saw something like this values (GG.GGGGGGG) in .map file. Can
anybody help me?
