Mar 10, 2011 at 10:19 comment added RichW Cheers guys, turns out the conversion from lat/lon to postgis' geometry format was in the format lon/lat.. documentation surrounding that was pretty sketchy! Flipped the coordinates round and everything works as expected now. Same goes for the mapserver coordinates.. didn't realise it was lon/lat ;)
