Actually you can do this using OpenLayers without violating the license (at least technically it doesn't violate the license, but you are still bound by their terms and conditions). Since the new Fusion framework is being built on OpenLayers, this means that it will be technically possible to use Google (or any other source) as a base map.

Unfortunately Fusion is not ready for a few more weeks, and the use of Fusion in this way (using a different set of tiles as a base map) will not be directly supported. I should be able to provide some advice on how to make it work though.

So, either go investigate OpenLayers now or wait a few weeks :)

it in MGOS.

Hi everybody

layer

I browsed the demo of Andy Morsell at (

layers

How can i do this?
