Thanks for your post Marcelo. I've looked at the elabel solution and it's great, but unfortunatly it resides inside the map (you add it as a control) and it uses the mercator calculations to calculate the x+y from the maps 0,0 not the screens x,y co-ordinates so I don't think it would be appropriate as the main thing I want to be able to do is to overlay on top of the google map control and have content outside of the google map control.
For an example, it's very similar to http://www.trulia.com/CA/Beverly_Hills/90210/ when you click on an icon on the right. When it opens the overlay, the map dosen't pan even though it's narrow. I have looked at the source but can't figure out how they do it.
