[ka-Map-users] Using multiple file-formats in a single map object.

[Paul Spencer]

Jeremy,

the most recent CVS version has this capability (contributed by  
Jacob, thanks).  You enable it by setting metadata on the first layer  
in any group ... search the mail archive or look in the comments in  
config.php for details

Cheers

Paul
