Can someone tell me why my Latitude coordinates would be inverted ?
When I first display my map of the US, my latitude reading gets lower as I
move my cursor north.
Here is my formula I'm using to determine the latitude.
My Longitude reading is Correct. I've just noticed this problem while
working on manually setting my extents.
Thanks !

----------------------- Latitude Function -------------
function DetY(y)
{
var mapheight = ([maxy] - [miny]);
var mappixel = mapheight / 500;
GIS_Y = [miny] + (y * mappixel);
return GIS_Y;
}
