Re: [mapguide-users] It´s possible use google maps as base map in a MG application

[Paul Spencer]

Jackie is correct, you have to be very careful of how you use Google.

OpenLayers incorporates Google (and Yahoo and Microsoft) mapping  
services by using their APIs and thus does not violate their terms of  
use technically, but you still need to make sure that your application  
doesn't violate their terms of use.

There is quite a bit of documentation on using Google in OpenLayers in  
the OpenLayers wiki and in the mailing list archives, I suggest that  
you start there (http://www.openlayers.org).

It is technically possible to do the same in Fusion since we are  
embedding OpenLayers as the mapping component, but it would not be  
practical to do so at this time.  There is no API to make this happen  
automatically yet, and the code to make it work from an application  
developer's point of view would be convoluted.

Your best bet at this point in time is to start with OpenLayers  
directly.

Cheers

Paul
