First, make sure that you're adding your google layer to map. In one of your examples, you only added the wms layer.
<br><br>Second, since google maps are EPSG:900913, you'll need to pass it meters instead of a lon,lat. Set up a point or bounds you know (lon,lat) and then transform that point/bounds to the google projection.
<br><br>// I saw a reference to this lat,lon coordinate: 63.259591,-144.667969
<br><br>var GEOGRAPHIC_PROJECTION = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326"); // stnd LAT,LON via WGS84 datum
<br>var MERCATOR_PROJECTION = new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"); // '900913' == 'GOOGLE' projection
<br>var IndiaCenterPointGeographic = new OpenLayers.LonLat(-144.667969,63.259591); // lon,lat
<br>var IndiaCenterPointMercator = IndiaCenterPointGeographic.transform(GEOGRAPHIC_PROJECTION,MERCATOR_PROJECTION);
<br>var startZoomLevel = 5;
<br>//....
<br>//set up map and layers...
<br>//....
<br>map.setCenter(IndiaCenterPointMercator,startZoomLevel);
