<div>The best way to describe it is to look at this: <a

the gunsight is not always in the center, you can drag it around in the

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

<div>+ The Gunsight does not move when the map is panned/moved (it's
tied to pixel position - not geographical)</div>
<div>+ The Gunsight needs to be draggable within the map view port
<div> (can't drag outside the viewport) a non-draggable/fixed
pixel position solution (i.e. center of map viewport) would be an
unacceptable.</div>

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>
