[OpenLayers-Users] Using Openlayers.layer.text makes the map disappear

[Thomas Wood]

EPSG:41001 is a user defined projection, at one time referred to the
Google spherical mercator projection, but has now been renamed
EPSG:900913.
I see you're using OSM tiles, which are projected in 900913.
Changing the projection option on the map to: new
OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913")
You can then add a projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:4326")
to the options of the Text layer, and it should reproject it for you.
(No need for proj4js)
