[Geomoose-users] GM2: TileCache, Google, Yahoo, VE Support

[Fischer, Brian]

After putting some thought into this.  I think it is of value to have the ability to display these type of layers and it would be just fine to make it known they won't print.  Someone can still do a screen capture if they really want to print it.

So we've hit a conundrum in the world of GM2 development.  When we add a feature to GM we like to add it holistically.  This means that if a particular feature is added, such as user drawings, they play nice with all features (including printing).   Printing, in fact, can be a major fly in many of the development ointments.

GM2 is now based on OpenLayers.  OpenLayers has support for TileCache, Google, Yahoo, and VE layers.  This presents a problem as the proprietary layer types have both license issues and technical problems for embedding a map into a PDF (or static image).  TileCache is notably more feasible.

This is essentially meant to be a cast out to the community:
1) Do you want these types of layers?
2) Do you care if they print?

Let me (us) know,
