Ok, you have piqued my interest! Had to go out and look at Google's map<br>
API. Way cool stuff. Anyway, how do you overlay a Mapserver map on top of<br>
a Google map?<br>
<br>
There was some great work (by Kyle Mulka which was later picked
up by Just van den Broecke) that allows you to use Google Maps as a WMS
client. With Mapserver on the backend and Google Maps on the front, you
can put together some really sweet solutions.. all the data crunching
power of mapserver with the usability of Google Maps:<br>
<br>
here's the javascript libs<br>

<br>
and a decent example<br>

The source should be fairly self-explanatory. It's a neat solution
since you can use your own base data yet still get Google/NavTeq roads
overlay (check out <a href="http://salmonpeople.org">http://salmonpeople.org</a> )<br>
