I just tried Luke's excellent tutorial. Thank you, Luke! It works
beautifully, and is a lot easier and more general than the QGIS method
I posted a few weeks ago.
And I tried Bart's tip for reservoirs, which worked (thanks to you
too!) but only after some fiddling. By default, the underlay map has
Base Map Transparency of 100%, and if I turn on Show Polygons, I see
the base (offline vector) map, including reservoirs, but the BLM
land use map disappears. But if I set Base Map Transparency to 50%
*and* turn on Show Polygons, I can see both reservoir and land use.
I can also see both if I use it as an Overlay (which I guess always
shows polygons? It doesn't have an option for that) rather than an
Underlay map -- though the first time I tried it as an Overlay it
didn't show and I'm not sure why.
Are there any arguments in favor of underlay vs. overlay, or are
they pretty much equivalent?
I don't suppose there's an option to download map tiles only when
on wi-fi? I couldn't find anything like that in the Online Maps
Settings, though there is a checkbox where I could temporarily turn
off updates.
