Re: [ka-Map-users] Label collision between layers<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>A compromise on this approach would be to have one layer with all the
labels for all the layers as Mathew wrote, but to not cache that layer so that
you could always show only labels for the layers that are displayed. I am
not exactly sure in kamap how this could be implemented, but this would give you
the speedy cachey goodness for the basemaps and then it would just take a bit
for the labels to show up. <BR><BR>
