[Mapserver-users] scale query

[Mills, Daniel]

Hi,

I am querying map->sclae and getting back funny results.  Can anybody help.

i am using mapserver 4.2 with mapscript. When i zoom to the extents of the
uk (-7.000 49.000 3.000 59.000) i get a scale of 47.24412.  I have set my
map projection to lat/long, the data is held in Oracle Spatial SRID=null.
map units have been set to METERS.  I have set all of my layers to lat/long
and units m.

Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is the case?
Thanks
Daniel
