[OpenLayers-Dev] Re: Layer.GoogleNG with less overhead and better OpenLayers integration

[Andreas Hocevar]

Hi,

thanks for your pointers. The differences you mention are intentional,
but in case Layer.GoogleNG will become the replacement for
Layer.Google, these are worth considering.

This is because other layer types also don't have it turned on by default.

This is because in OpenLayers, when you want to switch between
different layer types, you're supposed to create one layer instance
for every layer type and switch between them. In the case of
Layer.Google(NG), there won't be much overhead - all share the same
google.maps.Map instance.
