[mapserver-users] Displaying identify results properly precisionand scale

[Steve Lime]

I'm not sure how geomose generates those results but I would imagine it's through templates.
If so, then you can use the item tag to control precision. If the column is area then the tag
would look like:

  [item name="area" precision=2]

or something along those lines.
