Hello David,
Unfortunatelly I am tied into a different web presentation layer -
MsMap. It has some features (like marking locations at specific
coordinates and adding interactive options to them) and I can't abandon it.
I will look at openlayers, to see if it supports the functionality I need.
Thank you for your help.

Take a look at OpenLayers. http://www.openlayers.org
Here is an example of an OpenLayers application that uses Google as
the base layer.
http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/sundials-spherical-mercator.html
(When the app first loads, it is using OpenStreetMap data as the base
layer. Click on the '+' icon on the right side of the map to expand
the layer switcher and you can then switch to a Google layer.)
You can also use Microsoft Virtual Earth data
http://www.openlayers.org/dev/examples/
And using MapServer, you can publish your data as a WMS and pull it in
to the same OpenLayers app. (You can also connect to MapServer with a
native MapServer CGI call, but the developers are encouraging the use
of a standard WMS call.)
David.

raster layer
Hello,
Thank you for your clarification. So, I would need the client-side
to support google/yahoo layers and mapserver would run to feed
just its specific layers.
Interesting.
Anyway, do you know any other projects that offer (with an open
license) access to raster satellite/aerial imagery that can be
integrated with mapserver?

Hi,
Terms and conditions of these services do not allow cascading
Google/Yahoo maps through Mapserver. However, it is allowed to let the
mapping client to make this integration. One example I found from my
bookmarks is here:

Hello everybody,
I'm not sure if it's been disscussed on the list already or
not, but I wanted to ask if it's possible to integrate
mapserver (and starting with which version?) with Google/Yahoo maps.
I would like to display the raster (satellite) images from
google/yahoo as a layer in the map. The thing is - I don't
want to store the actual raster data on my server - but to
make requests to google/yahoo on the fly.
Thank you,
Adrian Popa
