Thanks very much David. I was just about to post a message that I had solved
it. Last time I was dealing with annotation. This time a GPS point reprojected
into x,y. This is what works:
Map file:
LAYER
NAME 'gps_point'
STATUS DEFAULT
TYPE POINT
FEATURE
# This is where you specify position on the map - using a default value
POINTS 1748411 5427899 END
END
CLASS
STYLE
SYMBOL "marker"
END
END
END

Robert,
I thought that I remembered posting an example to fix a similar issue and went
back into the archives to find it. Funny thing, it was a thread that you
started! The solution was to create the feature on the fly through a URL
configuration.

If you can use the URL vars in the points obj, that would be nice and clean...
David.

Subject: Re: [mapserver-users] ICON Placing co-ordinates.....
I am having some trouble too. I want to pass in the x y as variables. Here is
the section in my map file:
LAYER
NAME 'gps_point'
STATUS DEFAULT
TYPE POINT
FEATURE
# This is where you specify position on the map
POINTS %gpsx% %gpsy% END
END
CLASS
STYLE
SYMBOL "marker"
END
END
END
Here is the section in my symbols.sym, file:
#21
SYMBOL
NAME "marker"
TYPE PIXMAP
IMAGE "marker.png"
#TRANSPARENT 8
END
and here is my mapserver URL:
http://10.65.192.1/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?gpsx=1748411.13985&gpsy=5427898.99793&mode=map&layers=linz_orthos+crs_parcels+gps_point&MINX=1747411.13985&MINY=5426898.99793&MAXX=1749411.13985&MAXY=5428898.99793&mapsize=1200+1200
Unfortunately I get an error:
loadFeaturePoints(): Unknown identifier. Parsing error near (%gpsx%):(line 727)
How can I pass in the x y?
Many thanks,
Robert Sanson

You'd use the icon as a symbol like so:
LAYER
NAME 'TheIcon'
STATUS DEFAULT
TYPE POINT
FEATURE
# This is where you specify position on the map
POINTS x y END
END
CLASS
STYLE
SYMBOL "2.gif"
END
END
END
