<p class="MsoNormal">I am sorry if this has already been done/covered, but I have
been in the processes of developing some online apps using OL and Google layers.<span style=""> </span>I have version
of OL (using ESPG 41001) up and running with the Google Layers here...<br></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Issues I ran into and seem to have a fix for (or at least a
working hack):</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> -> WFS overlay not fitting/floating (depending on
pan/zoom).<span style=""> </span>This was done by using doing projection
conversions in <span style="">getLongitudeFromMapObjectLonLat, getLatitudeFromMapObjectLonLat,
and getMapObjectLonLatFromLonLat in OpenLayers.Layer.Google. As well as defining new extents and zoom levels.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 3pt;"> -> Google Layers moving center
position upon a layer switch, after the map/browser has been resized. This I have not totally figured this out, but the OL view plane and Google view plane seem to be off. I fixed this with a hack in setMapObjectCenter in
Google.js. Basically I set center, tell the google API to see if the map size has changed, then set center again.<br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 3pt;"> -> Other:<span style=""> </span>I have also added a very quick and dirty "loading
…" display for WFS and a WFS feature selector that allows for quick display of
other information inside GML.<span style=""> </span>These use
outside div's and have not yet been migrated into OL. Also on a browser note, I made two different classes for vector rendering styles, one for IE and one for everything else. <br></p>
