[OpenLayers-Dev] new OpenLayers map viewer with custom components I´d like to share

[geojoe]

I have two or three database point layers that would like to refresh with a
custom refresh map control like I saw on your link. (only refresh it by when
clicking in a custom "dmaUpdateMap" Control.)

Could you share the code for creating this control in the map init()
function?

Thanks,
Joe
