[mapserver-users] GPS to GIS

[Benoît Andrieu]

Glad to know it helps.

But, in my own opinion, the difference between the results implies that 
something is wrong (on which side, i don't know).

It could be another coordinate system, or another datum...

Sorry but I am not a expert with coordinate systems.

Regards,
Benoît Andrieu
