MAPUNITS

MAPUNITS

Used in: CONFIG RESPONSE
Parent elements: PROPERTIES

<MAPUNITS	Attribute Description Table
units ="decimal_degrees \| feet \| meters" > No child elements </MAPUNITS >
Bold: Attribute or child element is required.

Description:

Defines data map units.

Restrictions:

None

Notes:

In a map configuration file, MAPUNITS is optional. If it is not included, the assumption is that MAPUNITS is in decimal degrees. No MAPUNITS information is returned in SERVICEINFO.
If MAPUNITS is incorrect in a map configuration file, measurements and scale dependencies may not work correctly.
If FEATURECOORDSYS is included in the map configuration file, MAPUNITS, if present, is ignored. Instead, the MAPUNITS for the coordinate system is used. In SERVICEINFO, the correct MAPUNITS for the coordinate system is returned.
In a request, MAPUNITS does not need to be included. The request uses the MAPUNITS in the map configuration file or the MAPUNITS from FEATURECOORDSYS contained in the request itself or in the MapService.
