understand it if you specify the base map in sphericalMercator and wish to see
WMS layers overlayed at both large and small scales correctly, your WMS server
must have the capability to serve up data in EPSG:900913. So you need to look
at your GetCapabilities document of the WMS and determine if it supports this
projection. If it does not, then I would suggest you do not use
sphericalMercator at all and just overlay in EPSG:4326 and remember that the
alignment drifts off when at small scales. Alternatively, (Long shot) look for
a cascading WMS server that does support this projection and ask the custodians
to register your WMS in their service so you can cascade through their WMS
letting it do the retransformation for you.<o:p></o:p></span></font></span></p>

there any good examples of using Google or Yahoo background data (in their

anything that seemed to work.&nbsp; I don't seem to be able to get my WMS
