[mapserver-users] google tiles

[Roger André]

Hi Chad,

I wasn't aware that "tile" is a valid mode of operation for Mapserver.  I
looked on http://mapserver.org/cgi/controls.html and didn't see it
referenced there, but its entirely possible that it exists and that I've
just missed it.  In any case, the way I'm familiar with generating google
map tiles is via the use of Tilecache.  Tilecache works as in intermediary
between Mapserver and your Google map. It make the appropriate request to
Mapserver for a tile, and then returns the tile to your map.  I think this
might be the solution you're looking for, http://tilecache.org/.

Best of luck,

Roger
