Hi Jonas- We use the same projection for all of our API provided tile layers: GMercatorProjection. So if you want to combine our maps with your own, you'll have to project your data into tiles in the mercator projection, and either overlay them as a TileLayerOverlay or combine them with our map tiles as a custom MapType.
Most SHP converters likely have an option to project to Mercator, or you could write your own. Let me know what other info you need. - pamela On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 12:21 AM, Jonas <[email protected]> wrote: > > I've just started using Google Maps, so I might have missed a thing or > two. > > I'm building a Flex-application where I have my own map-component, > which uses .shp (ESRI shape) files for drawing the map.
