Jaw drop. Thanks! You will have fun time, keeping it working as services change, especially google ones. May the Force be with you

Confirming - if it's fixable, it would be nice, but I'm not sure if submarine cable map is cartographically accurate. Maybe it should be considered as "consult only" one, like moon surface maps in Marble (which also shows your "current" position

Good question - it seems that per-layer update interval could be useful. Meanwhile, maybe per-mode settings could be abused to achieve the same?

//Edit

It seems, that traffic overlay is strange. Even with "labelled" option, it shows label only for places, where traffic colors are present. Sometimes, it even cut parts of street name (because color ends there).

Feature request - could we have user-configurable, arbitrary number of layers? This way, in many cases, we would be able to create task-specified, fancy settings. For example, using above case - one could get google satellite as main, street names layers above, and traffic overlay on top.

But, it would be useful in many other cases, too (satellite + streets + signal, or satellite + street + temperature).
