Hello!<br>
<br>
I use Mapnik with openlayers and postgis database. I have an osm map<br>
from hungary and another hungary map in the postgis/postgresql<br>
database.<br>
When I visualize the maps in my browser i get the following<br>
maps/pictures. See below:<br>
Hungary OSM map:<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4318/hungaryosm.png">http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/4318/hungaryosm.png</a><br>
My other Hungary map:<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"
href="http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2817/hungaryroad.png">http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/2817/hungaryroad.png</a><br>
<br>
My problem is that the projection isn't good enough, because Hungary
is "thicker" or "higher". My map (not the osm map) is in WGS84
projection, and I use this in my mapfile:<br>
<pre><Map srs="+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs"</pre>
<pre>...</pre>
<pre><Layer srs="+proj=longlat +ellps=WGS84 +datum=WGS84 +no_defs"></pre>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate;
color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style:
normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing:
normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px;
text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2;
word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;"> <br>
I think that the view center of my map is by the 0.0 (lat) and 0.0
(lon) coordinates, that's why my maps are "thinner" than on other
maps. <br>
Is that really my problem? What should i change in my settings?<br>
<br>
Thank you for your help!<br>
