  Hi all,
  I have two questions now...
  First one is about the tolerance I set on the map file. This tolerance
is like a radium around the user click? Like, if I set the tolerance to
5 pixels, it would be like if the user clicks on a point, I will query
everything in a 5 pixel radium, to all directions?
  Second one is about the querybypoint method. My first attempt to use
tolerance on my map was setting it on the querybypoint method, so I put
a 5 on the last parameter. But this tolerance was looking like if it was
like 5000000000 kilometers.. In every point of the map I clicked I would
query something, even if it was very far from my click. Then I tried to
put a -1 on the last parameter, and put tolerance 5 on my map file. It
worked fine. But now I'm curious why the 5 of the querybypoint is so
different from the 5 of the map file.
  Thanks,
     Murilo
