[Mapserver-users] Locating and centering on a point

[Leandro]

Hi,
I'd like to center my map on a precise point object. The user choose from a
list of objects (dropdown list box), like restaurants, and the map is
centered on the restaurant
choosen.

What is the best way to do this?

I look at the "province selection" in gmap example, but I don't want to
preload all the coordinates in the html. I prefer a solution where
coordinates are read from
the shape file or using a postgis database.
