esri base maps with google maps apis

Question

Hi I'm using the Google Maps API extension, I would like to select also the ESRI basemaps as alternative to the standard Google basemaps. Is it possible?

Thanks

How about moving to the full ArcGIS API for JavaScript and using this sample to get Google Maps in your JS app:  http://gmaps-utility-gis.googlecode.com/svn/tags/gmapslayer/1.0/docs/examples.html

This is the best of both worlds - the attractiveness of Google's base maps, with the functionality of the ArcGIS JS API. Win-win!

I have the same goal as digy79.  Looking at ESRI's sample code, it is possible.  However, when I loaded the code and run it loacally, I got problem.  In my test, the associated js file was called correctly.  Hopefully ESRI can provide a good answer for it.

I tried the script but the google maps do not display.  I post a thread at http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/34799-Google-Maps-Not-Display?highlight=google+maps.  Do you know how to fix it?   Thanks.
