This is kind of hard to explain but what I want to do is use Mapserver to project my data which is in the GDA94 projection as shown below:
"# GDA94 / MGA zone 55 <28355> +proj=utm +zone=55 +south +ellps=GRS80 +towgs84=0,0,0,0,0,0,0 +units=m +no_defs <>" to a projection that will be able to be properly merged with Google maps (using OpenLayers) which uses a projection something like the following: "Update 4: Agreement frrom Melita Kennedy and David Burrows that Google Maps and Virtual Earth use spherical equations for the Mercator projection. The correct proj4 settings are: +proj=merc +latts=0 +lon0=0 +k=1.0 +x0=0 +y0=0 +a=6378137.0 +b=6378137.0 +units=m Note this is different than using the ellipsoidal equations which would be: +proj=merc +latts=0 +lon0=0 +k=1.0 +x0=0 +y0=0 +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +units=m no_defs" I believe that I need to use Mapserver to do this but I have no idea how to go about it. Currently my Mapserver is running fine displaying the data correctly using the GDA94 projection except i had to use a .vrt file to correctly align the raster image which was slightly out of alignment. I have also set up and can call my Mapserver as a WMS (thought having issues with the WMS Layer function in OpenLayers, just displays a white screen but I believe that this is to do with projections) My Mapserver has been compiled with GD, GDAL, GEOS, PostGIS, PHP and proj4. In my mapfile I have defined each layer using "init=epsg:28355" as well as globally defining the map using the same projection. This reason I am trying to do this is because currently I don't think that my projection can be properly imported into OpenLayers and merged with Google Maps. Thanks Brad
