Create Larger Navigation Control for use in non-draggable maps

OpenLayers is a Javascript library for creating maps -- but there's nothing lacking in the library for creating static maps inside a div. Simply disable the MouseControls/Navigation controls, and create your own controls for map control.

More specific requirements are welcome, but I don't see anything here that isn't possible with the current library. Examples and specific requests are neccesary -- but be aware that if OpenLayers can already do it, it's likely to just be closed as invalid.

Please can the suggested non-slippy navigation controls be available in the default interface (maybe some sort of flip-to-non-slippy control), instead of requiring each webmaster to create them anew?

Again, I don't know what you're imagining or describing. We already have controls to click to navigate the map and zoom it. It seems to me that all you want is a map with the navigation control (which is the mouse movement control) turned off.

I'll leave this open for a response. *Please include a description or example*, so that it is possible to understand what you are looking for.

By the "the navigation control (which is the mouse movement control)" do you mean the dragging thing? Yes, I think I'm asking for that to be switched off, but I'm also asking for a navigation control mode similar to http://dev.openstreetmap.org/~ojw/Browse/ to be included as standard (preferably with diagonal movement controls too, like on streetmap.co.uk and a jump to zoom-level N control as well as the one-step-at-a-time), maybe hidden behind some toggle control. Those controls are much bigger, so much easier to click with poor motor control than the current small arrows.

Okay. Ticket title and description change made. Patches welcome.

No pretty graphics, but here's an example of how you could mock up something like the above example with OL. As Chris suggests, if you want support in non-JS environments, then OL is probably not the best choice.

If accessibility is the goal, try something like http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/accessible.html

I think tim's example here is good enough to call this ticket fixed.

If someone can argue a valid reason for deliberately making a non-slippy version of OpenLayers with these special controls (as suggested by creator of this thread) as a built-in option, then please speak up and reopen this ticket.
