[mapserver-users] KML as Outputformat returns incorrect coordinates

[Yewondwossen Assefa]

Hi,

I think this bug is happening because of the fact that internally 
MapSever "plays" with the projection when answering to  non-square 
(distorted) wms requests. I think we end up with pixel coordinates, 
instead of ground coordinates at the output stage.
There was a similar issue I corrected a while ago 
(http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3840).
I will use the test case provided in 
http://trac.osgeo.org/mapserver/ticket/3928 to correct this and update 
the bug.

best regards,
