[ka-Map-users] Layers in gmap

I meant image type :)  I guess thats not the problem.  I'm pretty  
sure that ka-map CVS is working correctly in this respect so it seems  
most likely a difference in configuration.

One thing you can try is getting the src of one of the tiles (use  
Page Info in Firefox or get the developer toolbar for IE or Activity  
in Safari) and then start tinkering with tile.php to see why the tile  
is not coming out transparent.

Cheers

Paul
