Upgrade leaflet to 1.0 in order to take advantage of map panes and have labels display on top of tile layers #23

Open easherma opened 8 years ago

easherma commented 8 years ago

Leaflet 1.0 introduces custom map panes. You can use this to essentially load a tile layer with no labels, load the labels separately, and draw the labels on top of the basemap and polygons. This is a much sharper look and avoids obscures the labels on the map

There is a tutorial on the leaflet site that shows how to do this. It's fairly straightforward: http://leafletjs.com/examples/map-panes/

How would this improve the site?

It would make labels of places possible to read instead of being obscured by the data.
