So what you have is great, but not what they want. Sorry I didn't make this more clear.

They want something like the "zoom tool" used in paint programs. For example: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-zoom.html. When you click on the zoom tool the cursor changes to a magnifying glass, and where ever you click on the map, you are zoomed in on that.

For changing the cursor to a magnifying glass check this out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13171968/magnifying-glass-cursor-over-image

for capturing clicks look at this: http://openlayers.org/dev/examples/click.html

I've been thinking about it, and I think this all would be best done if made part of the ruler plugin. That way all the icons we need could fit nicely next to each other. I also think it'd be cool if we created separate icons for:

• drag the map around (default behavior)
• measure distance
• measure area
• click to zoom in
• click to zoom out

I don't really care what the icons look like right now since the WTM dudes are still waiting to hear back from their designer, so you can just cut and paste the icons I have in the attached image. If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks,

I also found this image that the client sent to me. Note the tool bar at the top left corner of the map.
