Hi All,

I am using mapserver to display locations on map and lines between these
locations.

I am looking to get mapserver to draw routes over the pacific ocean.

Say if i do a route from Los Angeles to Sydney mapserver will draw a =
line
over Australia, Indian Ocean, Africa, Atlantic and then across America.

I would prefer the line to go across the pacific i.e the shortest =
distance
between the two locations and not over the rest of the world.

Example:

At the moment my map displays the line that way

Los Angeles ---------------- > ---------------- > Sydney

I am looking to draw lines that way

---------------- >Los Angeles Sydney ---------------- >=20

I am using the latest version of mapserver and all my locations are =
stored
in SQL (long/lat)

=20

St=E9phane NICOLAS

=20

=20
