<div>I would have thought that draggable markers would be a better place to start than the overview. This is very similar identical to a draggable marker except it doesn't pan/follow the map.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Well, the fact that you need this does not mean that anyone here is

<div>So,</div>
<div>+ I need a Gunsight control (which uses Map.getLonLatFromPixel()

<div>+ The Gunsight needs to be draggable within the map view port

I think a good starting point could be looking at the OverviewMap
control, which uses a div placed on top of the map, and then make a
control yourself based on somewhat the same concept.<br>
<br>
Good luck!<br>
