[OpenLayers-Users] Need for pan mode when digitizing a feature near map edge

[Arnd Wippermann]

It's possible to use the pan buttons of the panzoom control while in
digitizing mode. See the example
http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/spherical-mercator.html Tim Schaub had
named yesterday.

Thanks for the quick response.  Google MyMaps allows a drag pan from
anywhere while digitizing.  I was mistaken, you don't have to be near the
map edge.
They also have a right click 'Center Map Here' function.  

It might make the coding simpler to allow a drag pan.  I notice also that
OpenLayers already supports zoom in/out while digitizing but it's pretty
unwieldy without a pan.
