Because I don't have time, and I don't use Google Maps, and all the stuff that I've seen which does fix this functionality seems to do it in a brittle way. (At least, that's why I haven't approved anything: I can't speak for other committers.) If I needed to display OSM tiles on top of Google, I'd use Tim's google-mercator layer, from his sandbox. I know that it works with TileCache, and it treats Google like a mercator-projected layer, which seems like the right way to go to me. > If so, could we not tweak the google layer code to detect if the main > openlayer is in mercator, and in that case, re-project the co-ordinates > and bounds before passing them into the google js? Yes. This is the thing that Tim's code mentioned above does. I expect that the next version of OpenLayers will have code which better understands the way Google works one way or another, because too many people have a need to display tiles on top of Google for it to not get taken care of.
