[OpenLayers-Users] displacement of google satellite data compared to google streetmap

Mon Apr 27 05:05:31 EDT 2009

Hi Andreas,

Yes, adding this code in a simple page with a fixed size map div worked fine, no displacement. I will experiment more with the mapfish setup, and bring this up on the mapfish list if I can't figure it out.

Thanks for your help

Jo

So it seems your issue is a different one. Maybe you have some weird css 
on the page where you place the map? Try to use the code you posted 
below in an empty html page without css and just a map div. 

Other than that, does the workaround to specify the map div's width and 
height in pixels work for you? 

Regards, 
Andreas.
