Will mousedown events fire with Touch events on OpenLayers mobile?

I can't get the mousedown event to fire on a mobile device when I click on a marker. I'm using openlayers 2.11 with TouchNavigation. The mousedown event fires just fine in Chrome on my Desktop. Are there touch specific events for openlayers? If yes, where can Ifind the list. The openlayers documentation is driving me crazy.

The code I use:

  var start_point = new OpenLayers.LonLat(latlngs[0].x,latlngs[0].y);

  var start_marker = new OpenLayers.Marker(start_point,green_pin);
  start_marker.events.register('mousedown', start_marker, function(evt) { alert('Ok'); OpenLayers.Event.stop(evt); });
  StartFinishLayer.addMarker(start_marker);

Answer

Correct, the mousedown events do not occur on mobile with Touch events. Instead, you should use a Vector layer -- the Vector layers appropriately handle 'taps' and interpret them as select events.
