this is the third sample of the tiled WMS overlay over the Spherical Mercator, this time over the new Google Map v3. Previsous post talked about overlyaing WMS in  Silverlight Bing maps (https://blog.sumbera.com/2010/02/25/overlay-wms-on-google-in-silverlight-bing/ ) and OpenLayers (https://blog.sumbera.com/2010/02/17/overlay-wms-on-google-in-openlayers/).

Sample application can be found here: http://www.sumbera.com/lab/GoogleV3/tiledWMSoverlayGoogleV3.htm You can try to run it on your mobile device as well – suprisingly it run very well on my iPhone (sometimes it just crash Safari :), however on the iPad there are some more serious issues that will be hopefuly resolved with new iOS update (JavaScript stops to run).

For the new Google Map v3 you have to do the following :

//Define custom WMS tiled layer

var SLPLayer = 
 new google.maps.ImageMapType (
 {
  getTileUrl:
    function (coord, zoom) { 
      var proj = map.getProjection(); 
      var zfactor = Math.pow(2, zoom); 
       // get Long Lat coordinates
      var top = proj.fromPointToLatLng(
             new google.maps.Point(coord.x * 256 / zfactor, coord.y * 256 / zfactor) ); 
      var bot = proj.fromPointToLatLng(
            new google.maps.Point((coord.x + 1) * 256 / zfactor, (coord.y + 1) * 256 / zfactor)); 
      //corrections for the slight shift of the SLP (mapserver)
       var deltaX = 0.0013; 
       var deltaY = 0.00058; 
      
      //create the Bounding box string
       var bbox = (top.lng() + deltaX) + "," +(bot.lat() + deltaY) +","
                           +(bot.lng() + deltaX) +"," +(top.lat() + deltaY);
      
       //base WMS URL
        var url = 
       "http://mapserver-slp.mendelu.cz/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=/var/local/slp/krtinyWMS.map&" ;
       url +="&REQUEST=GetMap"; //WMS operation
       url +="&SERVICE=WMS"; //WMS service
       url +="&VERSION=1.1.1"; //WMS version 
       url +="&LAYERS=" + "typologie,hm2003"; //WMS layers
       url +="&FORMAT=image/png"; //WMS format
       url +="&BGCOLOR=0xFFFFFF" ;
       url +="&TRANSPARENT=TRUE" ;
       url +="&SRS=EPSG:4326"; //set WGS84 
       url +="&BBOX="+ bbox; // set bounding box
       url +="&WIDTH=256"; //tile size in google
       url +="&HEIGHT=256" ; 
       return url; // return URL for the tile    
     }, //getTileURL

//add WMS layer

 map.overlayMapTypes.push(SLPLayer);
