Hello list, I am new to OpenLayers and made my first attempts in using the JavaScript API of Google Maps and OpenLayers 2.5 these days.
I want to draw vector graphics into the OpenLayers map. I have read and understood basically that I have to follow http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/SphericalMercator when I am using Google Maps in OpenLayers together with a Vector layer. If I do so, all coordinates I am going to use (including the one displayed by OpenLayers.Control.MousePosition()) are not in Geo-Lat/Long format any more, but in some other format (much bigger numbers) - these seems to be the "projected coordinates" mentioned in http://trac.openlayers.org/wiki/RFC/ProjectionSupport. What do I have to do to be able to use Geo-Lat/Long coordinates for drawing on the Vector layer when I am using a Google Maps layer? I have searched the project wiki already and studied documentation and example code, but also in the spherical-mercator.html example only projected coordinates are used. I would appreciate if anyone could give me any hint on that issue. Thank you for your help in advance. With best regards, Oliver Baum _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
