[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] Labels Problem

[Steve Lehr]

Skweda:

Its hard to tell from your map file you've given.  Is the data you have an
annotation or is it a line type.  If its a line type it should work, but if
its an annotation, the labels go where they have placed them.  I always try
to get road center lines with a road name attribute.  Perhaps if you have a
line_id with your road names and a matching attribute in the annotation you
can alter your DBF and merge in the road name attribute.

Thanks Steve, but that doesn't resolve my problem...  I keep searching!
