Worth,
I have replaced "TYPE ANNOTATION" with "TYPE POINT" and all is working well. As for tiling and labels, I have not found a satisfactory solution at all and have accepted that I am getting partial labels or no labels it the label starts in another tile - See here: https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/4284 What I have done is offered an option of "Single Tile" for users so that they can switch between tiled and not. The tiled option gives a better OpenLayers slippy map experience but the single tile option allows for accurate and complete labelling.

Hi all, I'm changing my usage of mapserver from a single map image to using OpenLayers and having MapServer work as a WMS server. My problem is labels. There seem to be too many variables (in MapServer and OpenLayers) and I cannot figure out which to set to keep from having partial labels, too many labels or overlapping labels. What is the best way to approach labels in a tiled / overlay environment. I noticed that in MapServer 6.0 the "annotation" layer type is deprecated. What is the method for replacing this? In summary, I'm LOST. Anyone with a map, please point me in the right direction. J Thanks, Worth
