[mapserver-users] Two Layers not matching up when one is reprojected

[Matthew Pettis]

Hi,

I am reprojecting a layer of Minnesota county boundaries from epsg:26915 to
be commensurate with a google maps overlay (epsg:3857 aka epsg:900913).
 The county overlay is shifted down from the Google Maps map by I'm
guessing to be about 10 miles.  Relevant links to map with Openlayers,
straight mapserver map of counties, and the contents of the mapfile for the
counties are below.

My question is:  Do I have a data problem, or is it a mapserver
reprojection problem? Or is it a proj4 reprojection problem?

In addition, I am including the epsg codes and the proj.4 equivalents I got
from spatialreference.org and stuck into my proj/epsg file:

# got proj/epsg entries from proj4 link at:
http://spatialreference.org/ref/sr-org/6864/ :
<3785> +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 <>
<3857> +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 <>
<900913> +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 <>

Help is much appreciated,

Thanks,
Matt
