[mapserver-users] Importing a Google/Yahoo maps raster layer

[Adrian Popa]

Hello David,

Unfortunatelly I am tied into a different web presentation layer - 
MsMap. It has some features (like marking locations at specific 
coordinates and adding interactive options to them) and I can't abandon it.
I will look at openlayers, to see if it supports the functionality I need.

Thank you for your help.
