Is it possible to have a second transparent map canvas, analogous to the Mapinfo cosmetic layer.
This would allow, for example, a complex background map to remain static so a gps layer in the new canvas can be quickly refreshed without refreshing the entire map & all the background layers, unless, of couser, the map extent changes.
There are several times I've made simple changes to a small layer & QGIS takes some time to re-render everything, when 99% of the refresh doesn't actually change anything.
This could be accomplished by having two map canvases, so users could add static layers to the bottom one & more dynamic ones to the top one, to suit their needs.
Cheers,
Brent Wood
