[OpenLayers-Users] Too many layers?

[Basques, Bob (CI-StPaul)]

Andreas,

This was one of the main reasons that GeoMOOSE was created, to  organize many layers.  You might want to take a look at it if you are having trouble with many layers in OpenLayers.  It’s built on top of OpenLayers.

Subject: [OpenLayers-Users] Too many layers?

Hi,

I am working on a thematic mapping platform showing data at local administrative levels.
I have many layers, so I run into problems (see screenshot: http://gisintersect.com/many_layers.png).

Is there any way I can collapse groups of layers within the layer switcher?
I have a high number of layers, as you can see in the switcher. Hence, I need some way to collapse/group/categorize the layers, so that I do not need to show all of them in the layerswitcher at once.
The result is that layers drop outside the map, so either, there is a maximum number of layers, or there should be a better way to do it.

Andreas
