[OpenLayers-Users] Google Layer example

[ashley_c_mort]

All,
    I found the answer to my original question and have another question.  I
attached sample code of how we obtained the Google Fusion Server layers.
 
   The Google map/fusion sever here has 3 layers:
1) ImageryMaps1
2) VectorMapsRaster1 
3) VectorMapsRaster2 

    Looking at fusionmapobj.js on the server, the vector layers get added to
the GFusionMap object but it looks like it's  erroring out if I try to do a
showInitialFusionLayers() call as I don't think it can find that method
(which should reside in the .js on the Google server).  
     Any ideas on how to get the our VectorMapsRaster to show up on our
GFusionMap?  The ImageryMaps1 layer shows up and the other 2 layers are in
there but the showInitialFusionLayers method seems to die on
this.addOverlay(...) (GFusionMap.showInitialFusionLayers resides in
fusionmapobj.js on the Google server)


SOLUTION TO ORIGINAL QUESTION
- modify Layer/Google.js and put this code at the top of loadMapObject()
[note that we seem to need to use GFusionMap instead of GMap2 to get
anything to show up from our server]

this.mapObject = new GFusionMap( this.div );
var layerz=this.mapObject.map_layers;

for(var x=0;x<layerz.length;x++)
{
	alert("google.js fusion layers "+layerz[x].txt);
}
this.mapObject.showInitialFusionLayers();  //this line doesn't work

I'm assuming that you're using some kind of Fusion server; In my experiences
with Fusion, I have not solved this problem. Your best bet may be to discuss
this in a Fusion-specific forum, rather than OL, since OL doesn't provide
that type of API to the Fusion data.
