Hi. Look at the documentation again in more detail.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes.html#MapTypeInterface Base Map Types Map types which you construct in this manner may either stand alone or be combined with other map types as overlays. Standalone map types are known as base map types. Overlay Map Types Some map types are designed to work on top of existing map types. Such map types may have transparent layers indicating points of interest, or showing additional data to the user. Image Map Types Note that this map type is inserted into the map's overlayMapTypes array. So you can create a standalone new map type or a map type that displays on top of other standalone map types. It sounds to me as if you want to create an OverlayMapType? Martin. On Nov 10, 6:19 am, Map Guy <rclair...@gmail.com> wrote: > Good call about the BOM.
