Re: [Gwt-openlayers-users] Google Maps Issue

[Edwin C. <com...@gm...>]

Hi AbdelHadi,

Thanks for giving feedback on using the Google Maps layer. I really
appreciate that you share your experiences.

Issue 1 you are describing is something that I have seen before for WMS
layers on Firefox, but only in a Ext-GWT app (strangely enough it does not
happen in the showcase). Up to now I have not been able to track down the
problem. This is one to drill down on when I have some time, because it is a
nasty problem.

Issue 2 could have something to do with the isFixed property of EventPane,
but that is purely upon glancing the API docs. Anyway, I added
EventPaneOptions and GoogleOptions now extend this class.

The function setSphericalMercator is a setter for the sphericalMercator
property of the Goolge Layer in OL. It also strikes me as strange to have
such a property on the Google Layer itself, as it affects the entire map,
but it looks like a convenience feature of OL to set a property on the
Google Layer in order to make vector layers and the like work.

Greetings,
Edwin
