[Geomoose-users] Feature requests and a Tip

Hiliting the Identify is problematic as it spans multiple layers (it is a "drill down" identify).

Also, isn't there some saying about squeaky wheels? LOL!

As of now I'm putting a feature freeze on 2.0, I want to test the latest batch of features and then wrap up a 2.0 release package.  Brian and I also need to throw the demo back together with the new features.

So, TEST PEOPLE TEST!!!
