I have a set of vector points captured as decimal latitude / longitude, in a Mysql database.
I am looking at a point which in the Map display is showing in the wrong place. In the database field, the point is captured as being at -21.133, 149.1833.
The point displays at the correct latitude, but at longitude 153.81 (at least if I look at the map display with the mouse pointer!).
If I query the point, it shows the right lat/long, and the hundreds of other points in the database seem to be coming up with the right spots.
most GIS systems want the coordinates to be in x,y or
longitude-latitude order. I do not think that your (-21, 149)
coordinate pair is in the correct order -- could this be a source of
the problems?
cheers,
Dylan

Any thoughts?
which version of GRASS? If 6.3, when was the code checked out of CVS?
