[fusion-dev] Patch for #271 http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/attachment/ticket/271/BasemapSwitcher.patch review

[Jason Birch]

I unfortunately don't really understand the code, so this might be a stupid question.

With this control, does it allow the map developer to configure a set of basemaps including both MapGuide tiled maps and commercial maps, and switch between them?  For instance, could I present the user with a choice of the following base maps via this control?

 - Satellite (by Google)
 - Composite (by Google)
 - Parcels (mine)

With MapGuide tile layers, it's not really sustainable to keep them in the same map as untiled layers (any changes to the untiled layers triggers a cache rebuild) so it would be nice to be able to define both a MapGuide single tile overlay and a MapGuide base map as separate items.

Hi,

Would you please review the patch for ticket 271( http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/ticket/271 ) at http://trac.osgeo.org/fusion/attachment/ticket/271/BasemapSwitcher.patch ?

Description :
Currently, fusion support Google, Yahoo and Virtual Earth services as basemaps shown behind the overlaid MapGuide layers. However there's no proper widget to switch basemaps in MapGuide. That means there's no way for end-user to change the basemaps. This widget will help end-user to control the commercial base maps(turn on/off commercial basemaps or switch the basemaps).

Thanks,
Arthur
