Often I would like to project the google map image png tiles on top of my image layer for the map features to be clearly visible over my layer. Currently putting the map layer on top with dhtml transparency results in only partial success. The problem still remains that the grey areas on the png tiles restrict too much of the image below. This would be possible if the google map pngs were transparent (with a png alpha layer) where they are normally grey. I presume this could be accomplished with only little change in the api, as one could assign a background color to the google map png layer (the same grey) and then include a hook in the api to change the color or to remove it entirely. This would also produce a feature of being able to change the map ground color. With these features, when one overlays image data (a heat map for example) with the transparent map tiles, the map layer will be clearly visible over the heat map.
