Hi Robert,
Thank you for your response. I tried using the settings you recommended
on both the top level and the
layer object but the map remained the same.
I can now confirm the problem lies in the map source. Even using a well
known map viewer to compare it to
a reliable source like G00GLE maps, I can see the similar problem.
Cheers,
Ben

Hi Ben
This looks like WGS84. You should haev the following in your Map file,
top level and/or layer level:
PROJECTION
"init=epsg:4326"
END

Hi,
My understanding of map projections is a bit rusty so I hope anyone can
point out where I am wrong.
I have a vector map source in shapefiles where it's .prj file has only
the following definition
GEOGCS["Geographic Coordinate System",DATUM["WGS84",SPHEROID["GRS
1980",6378137,298.2572220960423]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]]
When the map loaded, I can confirm that the map is wrong by it's
shifting to the north by a few hundred meters.
I can use :
OFFSET 0 70
in the STYLE object but it doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
I am not very sure if the issue lies with projection or the map source
and if there's a specific projection setting I must use.
Regards,
Ben
