[maplab-users] Maplab frustration!

[Matt Doggett]

There's already a TEMPLATE object ('ttt') defined.  I should clarify,
it's not that the legend doesn't appear, it's totally empty except for
the "Layer" label and the "Redraw Map". This in spite of the fact that
the layers do appear in the map itself (at least initially).
