• Hi,

    The plugin seems to handle only a single map layer (base maps) and it’s great that we add any map we want. I’d like to request the ability to add a second, simultaneous tile layer to the map.

    The Use Case
    Overlay tile services, like the Waymarked Trails hiking layer (https://tile.waymarkedtrails.org/hiking/{z}/{x}/{y}.png), are designed to be transparent. They only contain the trail lines and need a complete base map (like OpenStreetMap) underneath them to function correctly.

    Because the plugin doesn’t support a separate “Base Map” and “Overlay” concept, if i add the Waymarked Trails as a base map I am of course seeing just a few likes that represent the trails and not a full map.

    Proposed Implementation Idea

      The feature could be implemented simply as an optional “Second Map Layer URL” setting. If a URL is provided for this second layer, it should be loaded after the primary map layer, ensuring it is drawn on top (higher z-index) to act as the overlay.

      This change would allow users to integrate powerful data overlays like hiking routes, cycle paths, weather radar, or terrain shading, using any public tile service URL.

      Thank you for considering this enhancement!

      Hi @cosminsh,

      Thank you for the detailed suggestion.

      I am currently working on the paidPro” version of the plugin that has many enhancements over the standard version.

      This includes the ability to view multiple Basemaps at once, with support for transparency and transparency control.

      Here is an example screenshot showing the Waymarked Trails Basemap:

      I am planning on announcing Waymark Pro in the near future and can post a link here if you are interested?

      Thanks,

      Joe

      Hi @cosminsh,

      You can demo the Pro version on the Waymark Survey. Please use this to indicate your level of interest.

      Cheers,

      Joe
