Custom Online map with two url´s

[balloni55]

Hello menion,
i use a online topomap with  online overlay "hiketrials"

My question, how can i built a custom online map with two url´s inside the same "provider id"
to display both without extra overlay?

Hello balloni,

try to firstly define background map with it's unique ID. Set it also parameter "visible" to "false".

Then create second map provider, overlay. And here set "background" parameter to value of previous map. Set visibility to "true". And that's all. It should be visible on old sample here - http://docs.locusmap.eu/doku.php?id=manual:custom_online_maps

You mean set ID to same as ID from background map?

[Menion]

exactly. With this you say, that this second map (that will be visible in list of maps), will use map with certain ID as it's background map! So Locus will firstly download both maps, then merge both images and finally display

I think there is a risk of ambiguity and misunderstanding here. Here is a working snippet by way of example (copyright acknowledged). The two layers have different provider ids but the background id of one is set to the provider id of the other.
