[fusion-users] MapGroups - Multiple Maps?

Jason,

Fusion doesn't currently support combining different maps like that in 
one MapGroup element so for the moment, you can only use one Map at a 
time. However this is something I am currently working on, including 
allowing other layer types supported by OpenLayers as the intent of the 
MapGroup element is to be extended as you suggest. 

I'm not sure about the username/password issue but it should be possible 
to send along some Basic authentication headers along with the request.

Mike
