Description:
I got this to test WMS:
"http://localhost:8080/geoserver/wms?request=GetMap&layers=bc_roads&bbox=489153,5433000,
529000,5460816&width=400&height=200&srs=EPSG:27354&styles=normal&Format=image/png".
But how can I set(calculate) my bbox coordinates if I want to
show the specific area (I know the LAT/LON of that area)?

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand. You can put in a different bbox to show a
different area. If you're layer is stored in lat long coordinates then
you just enter those as the bbox. Unfortunately goeserver does not yet do
different projections. If you have a new layer set up then you can use
the WFS portion with a getFeature request to return all the features as
XML, and doing so will also give you a boundedBy at the top, so those
coordinates can be a good sample of the coordinates you should use for
your bbox WMS request.
