Hello, Im a new mapserver user, and I don't really have any experience in GIS.
I have had success plotting the "World sub Country Administrative Units 1998" shapefile (admin98.shp), using DD units and lat/lon extents. However, now I am trying to plot the following shapefile: World Vector Shoreline world_shorelines.shp More information on this shapefile can be found here: http://www.pdc.org/mde/full_metadata.jsp?docId=%7B32F5F3B8-1CF1-48C5-9B81-57 885C0CA448%7D The problem is that this shapefile uses units which are in meters, and not in decimal degrees. However, my application calls for setting the map extents using lat/lon values. How can I use lat/lon (DD) units using this shapefile? Will the shapefile need to be "reprofected"? if so, how can this be done, and what should be the target projection? Or, can this simply be configured through the mapfile (using the "projection" directives?)???? Please help.
