I'd love to hear whether the situation has changed. Last time I said this, nobody contradicted me, so i'll repeat what I said then...
There's no way to use Google Maps in Mapserver, due to Google's terms of use. Some folks wrote a WMS gateway to Google Maps, for example, and got a cease-and-desist for it. There are other options, though, if you're willing/able to serve up your Mapserver output via WMS. A) You could use Mapserver's WMS output in a Google Map, because Google doesn't have a problem with that. B) Look for a framework that supports both WMS and Google Maps and use that to import both your WMS output and Google's basemap; I know that OpenLayers had Google Maps support on their drawing board, but I don't know the status of it. -- HostGIS, open-source GIS solutions for a global community www.hostgis.com
