[Mapserver-users] Australian Setup for MapServer

[Nick Dabner]

Thanks for the advice Yuri. Have ordered the Ausway (Melways, Sydways) 
street directories, but have the Sensis maps available. They are in 
ESRI shapefile format, but fail to load. I hope running on OS X isnt 
the issue.

Actually think it is a projection (AGD?) and extent issue. I am 
attempting to map melbourne, but the map extent always comes up as 1 
mile or smaller.

Will keep fiddling.Think a re-read of the users manual may be in order.

Nick
