In my master branch, there are now two new configuration settings: `osm_layers` and `osm_layers_order` which replace the hackish `osm_mapurl`. The variables are a hash and an array that allow the operator to define the list of URLs to be loaded as layers and also to change the order of layers. -- [[users/anarcat]] @@ -22,3 +22,22 @@ I got tired of hacking at the osm.pm every time I wanted to change the layers, s >>> If there's no reason to order the other layers, that makes some sense. >>> --[[Joey]] + +>>>> The layers are ordered because that's the way they are displayed in the menu.

First, it would get rid of the duplication with `osm_layers_order`. Then I do not feel that having the keys in that hash is worth the duplication anymore. The only reason this is a hash is to provide an arbitrary string description for the layers.

Note that on my master branch, there are now 3 main changes that are not merged: arbitrary OSM layers (includes Google Maps support), KML formatting improvements (indentation, non-duplication of tags), minor OpenLayers improvements (don't sort layers arbitrarily, folders support, higher default zoom level and projection fixes).
