Re: [MAPSERVER-USERS] PostGIS data in EPSG:31300 using for Google Maps overlay
thanks Carla, although I'm not sure about that last bit. So I have searched for the epsg parameters of 31300 (Belge Lambert 72), and now I have to add some parameters ? I'm not sure which parameters I have to add/adjust.. 31300 +proj=lcc +lat_1=49.84 +lat_2=51.16 +lat_0=90 +lon_0=4.3569397 +x_0=15.01256 +y_0=5400088.4378 +ellps=intl +units=m +no_defs no_defs Thanks Steven On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 9:04 AM, cfb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Steven, I had the same problems, my data were in EPSG:23030 but when I wanted to overlay my WMS in Google Earth, even If I'd included EPSG:4326 in the wms_srs list, It showed a difference between my map and Google. So, first of all, you must include the 4326 in your wms_srs list (in the header and in the layers), then you must set EPSG:4326 as your projection object in the header, leaving the layers projections as 31300, and then you must look at the epsg file in the PROJ library (\\ms4w\proj\nad), because probably your EPSG code (31300) asn't all the parameters needed to reproject correctly the data... Look something like +towgs84, and try to find some parameter that help MapServer to reproject better the data...like this you won't have to reproject your original data Regards gisaalter wrote: Hi list, I have some data in PostGIS I wish to overlay in Google Maps using WMS I'm using the same data in a mapserver application, where EPSG code 31300 is used.

[mapserver-users] PostGIS data in EPSG:31300 using for Google Maps overlay

Re: [mapserver-users] PostGIS data in EPSG:31300 using for Google Maps overlay
Brent, Very, very usefull info. Thanks. I was just about to reprojecting my data :-) I thought the SRID table was constrained to the geometry and you couldn't change it. Seems like that's why the 'virtual' table is there for. Ok, well, I'll give it a try. Thanks for your input !

Hi Steven, Both mapserver POstGIS can reproject the data on the fly, but they need to be told the input output projections. As your data is all displayed via mapserver, the instructions either way will be in your mapfile. To reproject using PostGIS, edit the SQL command in your data statement which retrieves the PostGIS data. You need to tell PostGIS to return a virtual table to mapserver, and transform the data to the required projection in this. Edit the data line in the layer something like this: DATA new_geom from (select gid, transform(the_geom,4326) as new_geom from table) as mytable using unique gid using srid=4326 To reproject in mapserver, you need to set the main mapfile projection to EPSG:4326, using, in the global header part of the mapfile: UNITS DD PROJECTION init=epsg:4326 END In the METADATA section, you'll need to set the output projection for WMS, eg: METADATA wms_title My WMS Server wms_srs EPSG:4326 END Then in the layer definition, you specify the layer's native projection, so mapserver can reproject from one to the other: LAYER ... PROJECTION init=epsg:31300 END ... END Note that to reproject in PostGIS, Proj.4 support must be compiled into PostGIS, and similarly for mapserver if you do the reprojection there. If you compiled these from source, this is not done by default, you'll need to run configure with the appropriate flag. If you installed from a package, or on Windows, proj support is generally built in.
