[OpenLayers-Users] Google background layers offset with overlay layers

[Dara Olson]

Greetings.

We have an Open Layer map that uses Google background layers. We overlay
other WMS and a text file with points and when the map is loaded Google
Maps seems to be slightly off to the east. When you turn on Google
Satellite layer then the map bounces back into the correct location lining
up with the overlay layers correctly. You can turn Google Streets back on
and it lines up correctly. This application was working correctly without
the offset up until around 3-4 months ago (October-November) when this
started happening.

Any suggestions on why this may be happening? Or points in the correct
direction to fix? Below is the map.js and a link to the website.

var map;

OpenLayers.Control.PanZoomBar(), new OpenLayers.Control.LayerSwitcher()]

                    map.removePopup(feature.popup);
                    feature.popup.destroy();
                    feature.popup = null;
                }
            }

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
