The Google Maps layer’s general configuration interface is comprised of several sections. The General section allows you to configure aspects related to the layer’s display based on the scale. There are no attributes associated with the layer.
The Style section allows you to add different styles based on the scale, which modifies the layer’s transparency (raster data).
The Advanced section displays information on various aspects of the layer’s management in JMap.
The Google Maps section allows you to select the layer to be displayed, as indicated at the beginning of this chapter.
You can modify the layer’s position by dragging it to the desired position in the layer manager, when in List mode.
The layer selected for display and its position in the list of layers are both saved in the user’s parameters.
