title: OpenLayers - Mercator projection, with decimal degree lat/lon units
body: <p>I'm using OpenLayers to display a map of the same projection as Google Maps, Bing, etc. (that is, a square Mercator map). As I understand it, to enable this projection, I need to use the sphericalMercator flag. However, this also appears to change the units used by the LonLat method, etc. such that I have to transform from decimal degrees to metres. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way I can use the Mercator projection, but still use decimal degrees in order to specify positions on the map? </p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
