Brent, Thank you for your help. I am new to Map Server...
I have: PROJECTION "init=epsg:42304" END inside both my top-level MAP and LAYER definition. I try Adding/Changing (Is this what your meant?) inside my Layer definition... All the points that as plotted before are now gone. PROJECTION "init=epsg:4269" END The proper location is still not plotted. Something I am doing incorrectly? Thank you so much for your help.

Add a PROJECTION object to the csv file's LAYER definition. For example, if the input data in the csv file is NAD83: LAYER csv PROJECTION "init=epsg:4269" END : Brent Fraser GeoAnalytic Inc.

My data are in decimal degree stored in a CSV file. But when the map was draw, all the points are plotted very closed together. I suspect that for some reason, the map-server is plotting the data as meter/or any other unit instead of degree decimal. I used this PROJECTION in both my top-level MAP and proper layer, with UNITS METERS: PROJECTION "init=epsg:42304" END I added this for the /usr/local/share/proj/epsg file because it wasn't there after I installed the Projection Library: <42304> +proj=lcc +lat_1=49 +lat_2=77 +lat_0=49 +lon_0=-95 +x_0=0 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +datum=NAD83 +units=m +no_defs no_defs <> Is it enough to simple add the above epsg code??? Changing UNITS METERS to UNITS DD in my map file doesn't help either. Here are some sample DATA: <<img.GIF>> Desc,,X,Y "5",79.725833,43.715361 "6",81.000107,43.368512 "7",-78.347276,44.301459 "8",,81.332038,48.47381 "9",79.68955,43.4662 ...
