Hi Chris, Thanks- that was a real lightbulb moment- I had been quite confused about the different options/parameters etc and you really cleared it up for me!

No, it now includes a reproject 'parameter', but no reproject option. Parameters are the third argument to a Layer.WMS: Options are the fourth. (Your isBaseLayer is in the wrong place as well.) I've tested setting the reproject option in the right place; it seems to work on your map. > So, to make sure I understand- do I now need to use the spherical mercator > option when overlaying on virtual earth, google et al even if all my data is > served in EPSG 4326? If your data is served in EPSG:4326, you are not correctly overlaying Google Maps or Virtual Earth. If this bothers you, you will need to change to using Spherical Mercator. (The difference at a country the size of the UK is less significant than if you're at a country hte size of the US, or if you're starting at the whole world.) You've already worked around this problem (by setting a maxResolutino on your layer), but you should be aware that if you care about data actually being in the same place, or if you care about caching, you'll need to be using sphericalMercator.
