Thanks...problem solved. I also took the suggestion of using lat/lon values with setCenter instead of x,y points.

Subject: Re: [OpenMap Users] MapBean setCenter and OMGraphic select
Hi John,
Carsten's right. You also have to make sure that in the prepare()
method, you're not resetting the OMGraphic you've selected, too. One
other note - MapBean.setCenter() is a little more than just a proxy
for setting the center on the projection. It also kicks off the
notification of the projectin change to the layers, which causes all
of the projectionChanged() stuff to happen on all the layers. It's
easy to get into some kind of OMGraphic 'reset' state if you are
creating OMGraphics every time the projection changes, which can cause
problems when the user interacts with the map.
Cheers,
Don
