Nice, especially the traffic overlay can be useful

still playing around with the maps, the submarine cable map seems to be off: puts me somewhere of the coast of southern Norway, normal maps are fine

Thank you, thank you, thank you for adding the Google Traffic layer! I've been waiting for this development with anticipation for a long time now. A question: is the traffic layer self-updating? If so, can a specific time interval be set to refresh the layer?

Thanks again Martin for continuing to support and improve this application, it is much appreciated.

Quick reply...
Github gives me 404 error for this webpage, so a modified file is attached here. Though, I don't know how to connect this map-overlay to user options (rWin), so the background layer is hard-coded as "vaer", and opacity is hard-coded as 50-50.
Best wishes.

Jaw drop. Thanks! You will have fun time, keeping it working as services change, especially google ones. May the Force be with you

Confirming - if it's fixable, it would be nice, but I'm not sure if submarine cable map is cartographically accurate. Maybe it should be considered as "consult only" one, like moon surface maps in Marble (which also shows your "current" position

Good question - it seems that per-layer update interval could be useful. Meanwhile, maybe per-mode settings could be abused to achieve the same?

//Edit

It seems, that traffic overlay is strange. Even with "labelled" option, it shows label only for places, where traffic colors are present. Sometimes, it even cut parts of street name (because color ends there).

Feature request - could we have user-configurable, arbitrary number of layers? This way, in many cases, we would be able to create task-specified, fancy settings. For example, using above case - one could get google satellite as main, street names layers above, and traffic overlay on top.

But, it would be useful in many other cases, too (satellite + streets + signal, or satellite + street + temperature).
