I am wondering if anyone has had any luck adding Google Map overlays, like weather, bicycle routes, custom overlays, etc, onto maps in this plugin? I looked into the Custom Google Maps add-on and it isn’t able to provide that type of support. I tried writing some of my own code and adding into into the functions page, similar to what is described here (https://wpgeodirectory.com/docs/customised-maps/) but had no luck. I also see space on the Design>Scripts page in the plugin to add custom scripts to the header and had no luck. I am hoping someone else has been successful.

Hi Chris,

This is not possible by default, but i just did a quick test and if you add these lines to map.js below line 32 then it shows bike lanes:

so in file geodirectory/geodirectory-functions/map-functions/js/map.js

Change line 32 from:
```
jQuery("#" + map_canvas).goMap(options);
```
to:
```
 jQuery("#" + map_canvas).goMap(options);
    var bikeLayer = new google.maps.BicyclingLayer();
    bikeLayer.setMap(jQuery.goMap.map);
```
This is a temp solution as a proof of concept, it would need work and probably core modifications to implement.

Thanks,

Stiofan
