[postgis-users] Overlay Google Maps in SVG

[Sean Montague]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for "magic incantation", I seem to be on the right track. Does 
this projection exist in the spatial_sys_ref table? I don't see it, so I 
added it. Of course there is no srtext info.

I've given up on the DD viewBox. I want to go to a pixel based coord system so the tiles line up correctly. Am I be able to project some map data from my postGIS database into Google's projection, and then either scale or transform it with relative ease? I know this is against Google's policy, but if I can get it to work, I'll seek permission later.
