Christopher,

http://imaptools.com:8080/maps/dd3.html?lat=34.5315&lon=69.1571&zoom=14&layers=B00TFTTTF&start=69.150255%2034.535834&stop=69.158273%2034.52821&method=STS&lang=eng

It is likely that my hack job of code has broken something.
Overlays seem to update ok, but the base layer is not updating.

I am trying to add the buttons instead of the LayerSwitcher and finally 
got them to work, although there is probably a much easier way to do it.

So to reproduce is click on the [Map][Satellite][Contour] or [Show 
labels] checkbox and these work as they should. If you open the 
layerswitcher, you will see that the "Overlay Streets" and "90M Contour 
Lines" toggle on and off with the button clicks, but changing the 
baselayer visibility with the [Map][Satellite] buttons does not update 
the layerswitcher.

I also have not looked into trying to make the buttons update when 
things are toggled in the layerswitcher. None of this is a real issue 
because layerswitcher will probably be commented out totally in the 
production system. But it seemed like a practical exercise to better 
understand how things work.

I am always open to suggestions on better ways to code these solutions.

Thank you,
