A particularly good guide to spherical mercator and projections with openlayers is at http://docs.openlayers.org/spherical_mercator/ OpenLayers has a history of very sparse documentation, but they're trying to fix that for their next release. Inheritance of bounds, max/min resolution/scale/numZoomLevels, from the Map object to individual Layers is fairly complex. In general, this type of Map options should match those of the base layer. In particular, see the last paragraph of the linked article.
This is also quite a good OpenLayers overview tutorial http://workshops.opengeo.org/openlayers/intro/doc/en/ (as linked from docs.openlayers.org) 2008/12/7 Ulf Lamping <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Thomas Wood schrieb: >> >> A few things >> The maxExtent set on the Map object must be in the projection defined >> on the Map object >> The maxResolution option on the Map object is currently not doing >> anything at a guess, this is what is causing the vectors to disappear >> at >z13 >> The units are not degrees on this map (but that option doesn't do >> anything important) >> > > Hi! > > Do you have any idea where I can find documentation about this? > > The OL examples don't explain this stuff a lot and I couldn't find anything > in the API docs.
