[mapserver-users] googleMap as a base layer

[Steve Lime]

You can also use MapServer to generate overlays for use directly in
Google maps. There's a tile mode directly in
the CGI or you can use a tile caching solution. I've had terrific luck
with mod-geocache lately generating tiles for
the Google grid but limiting tile creation to a geographic area (e.g.
just Minnesota). Mod-geocache is very efficient
and can default to a single blank tile outside that extent.
