@Brad Nesom - it works now, somewhat, but can you include it as an answer explaining why it works so I can accept it?

@Brad Nesom - I wasn't referring to maps in PowerPoint, rather map design in general.

comment Technical and usability differences between OpenLayers and Google Maps API V3
so what you're saying is that Openlayers and Google Maps are pretty much interchangeable when it comes to the actual product; however, the differences are centred around the services that either system provides. With GMAPS, you get basic location services, POI, streetview, etc. but with OpenLayers, you get the flexibility and customization to role your own product on your server without having to publicly provide a kml or fusion table
