Description

this would make it easier for users to add markers to a map (without having to create a specific markers layer)

What does "invisible" mean here? The marker or the layer?

If the answer is "marker", this is not necessary. Just use normal markers and blank.gif as your marker image.

Well, it means two things:

  • Not displaying in layer switcher. (This is now possible via displayInLayerSwitcher: false)
  • Adding a layer by default to the map, so that you could always do map.addMarker(), a la Google Maps.

However, I'm less convinced this is important now -- to the extent that I actually think doing this would be a mistake. Adding one extra line of code is simply not causing users any difficulty.

hey now! can we maybe get a little consensus before closing a ticket? Im not entirely convinced either way, but I still think this is something worth looking into...

Erik hadn't realized that I had opened this ticket originally when he complained about consensus :) I still think this doesn't make sense. Closing for real this time.
