1. include your data in a standard cgi mapserver application

2. zoom/pan to the area that you want to serve as a reference map. You
probably want to use a very small map, like 150x150 pixels for example.

3. take the values for [imgext]/[mapext] from the page in your web
browser. that's the actual extent for the current image.

4. save the map image. you can now use this as your reference map.


hth,
