Hello Christopher,
Your example has the elements that I need :) Is this basic functionality
included in openlayers by default, or is it an addon?
Also - will openlayers work with mapserver by default - or through WMS
(I don't have experience with WMS)?
Thanks for your references.

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.
I'm assuming "Annotations" are visible marks on the map, and "adding
interactive options to them" means that you can cause something to
happen when you click. The first example that was given -- the
'sundials' example -- has both of these features.
For a more advanced demonstration of OpenLayers technology, you might be
interested in something more like:

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?
Regards,
Adrian Popa

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
