[Geowanking] Google Maps overlayed with WMS

[Just van den Broecke]

thanks!

For lines I use Google Maps' GPolyLine object. See 
http://www.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/#GPolyline_code_ Its 
implementation is browser-dependent as I understood.  In IE it uses VML. 
For all other browsers a png-image is drawn on Google's servers and 
returned to the browser. (I don't think SVG is used in SVG-enabled 
browsers like the latest FireFox). There's only 4 parameters GPolyLine: 
an array of lat/lon points, a colour, a line width (I use 2px) and a 
transparency. Thus this does not have to do with overlaying WMS.

In another project we are experimenting with overlaying transparent SWFs 
(Flash).
