[mapserver-users] Tutorial on bounding boxes, lat/long for WMS (Google Maps & Mapserver)

[Russell McOrmond]

  I'm looking for a recommendation on where to read up on bounding
boxes/etc.  I am wanting to extend a Google Map such that when a user
clicks that I will do a GetFeatureRequest against Mapserver to return
some details on that point.   Google Maps API returns me a lat/long and
zoom level.  I know I need to do some math to translate this to the
bounding box required by Mapserver, but don't yet know what that math
would be.


  Thanks for any recommendations.
