Hi Arnold, <br><br>I am really surprised that no one has replied to this message, as I am *sure* that someone, somewhere out <br>there has made this very transition that you are talking about. <br><br>Unfortunately, in this business (of giving away software), the love you take is not always equal to the love you<br>
make. <br><br>But! If you realize Mr. McCartney's wisdom, then you are distinctly well poised for some positive karma. <br><br>Share your story with us!<br><br>There is a new section on the OpenLayers website called "Case Studies"[1], and this is a *perfect* place for <br>
a story about transitioning from GMaps to OpenLayers. I would love to read it and I know others would too.<br><br>Help us out!<br>Erik<br><br>[1] <a href="http://docs.openlayers.org/casestudies/index.html">http://docs.openlayers.org/casestudies/index.html</a><br>

Folks, hello, and I wonder if anyone can share experiences doing such a<br>
transition.<br>
<br>
Background: I've written a free, Open Source application targeted to<br>
the public safety community, notably ham radio groups who kick into gear<br>
during emergency/crisis conditions.<br>
<br>
But under these conditions, internet connectivity to Google may not<br>
exist of course, so I'm planning a version of the app in which the tile<br>
sets and API are resident at the server. Hence my strong interest in OL.<br>
<br>
I can't imagine I'm the only one here doing anything like that, so I'll<br>
appreciate hearing re experience doing this, plus thoughts on the tile<br>
sets available. Thanks, all.<br>
<br>
Arnold Shore<br>
Annapolis, MD<br>
