So basically if I have a WMS/WFS which supports EPSG:900913 then it should just work on GMaps, correct? <br><br>

Because Firefox and IE use totally different rendering engines -- and to<br>make it work in FF, we have to accept a 40% performance decrease. Given<br>the option, we decided against supporting it, and instead pursued<br>spherical mercator, which also solved the problems of overlaying WMS
<br>data. (Since overlaying WMS data on Google doesn't actually work without<br>spherical mercator either.)<br><br>Regards,<br><font color="#888888">--<br>Christopher Schmidt<br>MetaCarta<br></font></blockquote></div>
