[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] center map on x,y coordinates

[Skweda O'Bomsawin]

By the way, I think you need a PROJECTION block in your map file if you want
to use meters coordinates...

My guess...

You can put the extent in the url:

http://...?map=map.map&mode=map&mapext=1400 336900 1600 337100

I find this easier, but if you want to to this with mapxy, you should
put x before y. Also, try out wat the actual scale is for the full map
(use the [scale] template, so you have a reference from which to compute
the zoom-scale
