| Virtual Earth and OpenLayers http://www.ecomapcostarica.com/map/index_ve.shtml This works better with Internet Explorer. There's a minor bug with CSS / OpenLayers / Virtual Earth in Firefox where the Virtual Earth tile does not take the full 100% width of the div. The work around is not to use 100% width divs, but that doesn't work with the template I'm using. For this application, Virtual Earth does not add anything when zoomed in far - in fact this is the reason I chose not to use Virtual Earth as the main platform. However, Virtual Earth does add much better coverage of the wider Costa Rica - much better than I could reasonably afford or provide! (for better zoomed-in maps, see the MapServer WMS version, here: http://www.ecomapcostarica.com/map/index.shtml ) A 'how to' article is currently being written, and this will use an example that does not suffer from the '100% width' problem.
