[mapserver-users] Mapserver layer over Google Maps

Mon May 7 20:06:32 EDT 2012

Dejan,

What I was missing was adding the maxExtent parameters in the map object
using the Spherical Mercator values. As soon as I added them, it worked.

The article you referenced is very good.

Thanks

Alberto,

I found this VERY useful:
http://geographika.co.uk/mapserver-openlayers-and-the-wfs-maze

I think you should put EPSG:3857 on the first place in wms_srs

regards, dejan
