[OpenLayers-Users] Problem with polar projection on Antartica

[Jon Blower]

Hi Sylvain,

You don't explain what you mean by "it doesn't work" but you will
almost certainly have to specify the projection of the basemap layer
explicitly, as well as the map.  If you check the requests from
openlayers to your server is it using the wrong SRS/CRS?

Cheers, Jon
