[Mapserver-users] Dyanic Point with Zoom

Wed Nov 5 15:18:13 EST 2003

Hello all-
I am stuck and can't figure out what Im doing wrong.  I am trying to
pass Lat/Long coords which will create a point and zoom to that point.
What happens is it zooms to the right coords but the created point
object doest show.  I figure maybe something is missing or in the wrong
order.  I have browsed the archive listing and from what I gather it
looks right...
Below is everything
Thanks in advance!
