Well perhaps you _shouldn't_ do it.  Comparing OSM to Gmap might be
interesting in some ways, but deriving data from one to the other is
certainly a bad idea, frowned upon by fans of either or both.

But it can be done.  There are OpenLayers examples that can show the
maps side by side.  Details will probably depend on what you mean by
"get the same portion of the map".
