    Is there a way to add a Google map layer to the main map?
    For instance, Google offers a bicycle layer to show trails and paths.

    We are using GeoDirectory to show bicycle related items in town. It would be great if we could over the bicycle layer as well.

    Have a look at this article:
    http://docs.wpgeodirectory.com/customised-maps/

    But I am not sure how you can add layers. I think that would require customization of the google map files. Not even sure if that is possible.

    Thanks, Guust.

    I found this on Google’s developer site at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/trafficlayer#bicycling_layer.

    
    
    
    function initialize() {
      var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(42.3726399, -71.1096528);
      var mapOptions = {
        zoom: 14,
        center: myLatlng
      };
    
      var map = new google.maps.Map(
          document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
          mapOptions);
    
      var bikeLayer = new google.maps.BicyclingLayer();
      bikeLayer.setMap(map);
    }
    
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
    

    Looking at the code on the page you linked to, I am thinking I could modify it like this:

    
    
    
    add_action('wp_footer' , 'geodir_set_custom_map_style');
    function geodir_set_custom_map_style()
    {
    ?>
    <script>
    var geodir_custom_map_style =[
    // Google Map Bicycling Layer Starts Here
    
    function initialize() {
      var map = new google.maps.Map(
          document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
          mapOptions);
    
      var bikeLayer = new google.maps.BicyclingLayer();
      bikeLayer.setMap(map);
    }
    
    google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
    
    // Google Map Bicycling Later End Here
    ]
    </script>
    <?php
    }
    

    Your thoughts?

    I tested it and it’s not working.

    Seeking suggestions on how to edit code.

    Maybe somebody else knows how to do this.
    It might require a change to
    /wp-content/plugins/geodirectory/geodirectory-functions/map-functions/js/map.js

    Moved this to Jobs, as it requires customization.
    Thx
