[mapserver-users] doubt about mapserver URL: coordinate system

[Michael Smith]

Sebastian,

You can use either mapserver  or wms syntax with openlayers.

The coordinates you see are in the Google Mercator or Spherical Mercator
projection. The google coordinates are the tile references (z=19) and the x
and y should match the center point of your mapext/imgext.

To use mapserver with google mercator you¹d use the projection block at the
mapfile level of

PROJECTION
 "proj=merc lon_0=0 k=1 x_0=0 y_0=0 a=6378137 b=6378137
towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 units=m no_defs"
END

Mike
