There are a few issues with google maps, the most important one is that
it's sluggish. This is something which is hard to solve apparently. Also
you need to switch 'reproject' on in openlayers, to refit the WMS images
on top of googlemaps. ON a detailed scale you need to use EPSG:4326, for
a world view you need to use a different projection.
In your context doc add:
<Layer queryable="0" hidden="0">
<Server service="Google" version="1.0.0" title="Google Map">
<OnlineResource xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="Google"/>
</Server>
<Name>Google</Name>
<Title>Google</Title>
<SRS>EPSG:4326</SRS>
<FormatList>
<Format current="1">image/gif</Format>
</FormatList>
<StyleList>
<Style current="1">
<Name>default</Name>
<Title>default</Title>
</Style>
</StyleList>
</Layer>
To switch on reprojection:
change layerOptions.reproject=false; to true in MapPaneOL it's around
line 390.
ciao,
