        Hi All, 

        I have a unique requirement that I need help with. Perhaps this is 
something new...


Well, the fact that you need this does not mean that anyone here is entiteled 
to make it for you..



        The best way to describe it is to look at this:  
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXotq-W5HmA&feature=channel  but the gunsight is 
not always in the center, you can drag it around in the map viewport.

        So,
        + I need a Gunsight control (which uses Map.getLonLatFromPixel() to 
work out the geographical focus of where the gun is pointing).
        + The Gunsight does not move when the map is panned/moved (it's tied to 
pixel position - not geographical)
        + The Gunsight needs to be draggable within the map view port <div> 
(can't drag outside the viewport) a non-draggable/fixed pixel position solution 
(i.e. center of map viewport) would be an unacceptable.



I think a good starting point could be looking at the OverviewMap control, 
which uses a div placed on top of the map, and then make a control yourself 
based on somewhat the same concept.

Good luck!



        Thanks && Cheers :)
