google maps projection

[John Hagstrand]

Hi Chip,

You asked me this question a couple weeks ago, and I am just now answering you.

I create two position:absolute divs, one on top of the other.  I put Google
in the lower one, and mapserv with mode=map on top.  The Google API gives me
a callback whenever the map changes, and allows me to query the coordinates
of the new map, so I can pass those to the MapServer call.

Here is my application.  MapServer is invoked when you zoom out so more than
1000 properties are drawn, and also when you do "Find City".

Thanks for asking.
