[Mapserver-users] Can't seem to get the projection correct

[Ed McNierney]

FYI - I just checked the MapServer image, too.  The 11 degrees of
latitude (Manitoba) take up 82 pixels, or 7.45 pixels per degree.  The
12 degrees of longitude (CO/UT) take up 89 pixels, or 7.42 pixels per
degree.  MapServer is producing the correct result.

Did you get that from MapInfo > Table > Maintenance > Projection? Or
from 
MapInfo > Map > Options > Projection? The first method will tell you
what 
that specific table's projection is, but in the second case, MapInfo may

"lie" to you because it reprojects tables to the projection of the
current 
map window.
