need to allow google maps hybrid = sat + labels overlay

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Attached patch currently downloads overlay - need to adapt code so that it 
downloads the sat images too, then overlays the overlay :-)

that should be 'feature' rather than 'defect' I suppose;

current patch now hopefully downloads both background/foreground tiles; may 
need checking for bulk downloads

Actual visual overlay needs implementing; I'm thinking initially add to 
draw_overlay(), then eventually add to tile_received()

Looks as though it's ready! :-)

Luckily the pygtk functions seem to handle alpha channel overlay naturally, so 
it was unnecessary to 

currently asynchronous - need to redraw when all tiles have been downloaded to 
guarantee that the overlay is visible *after* the sat image is visible

have to confirm for bulk downloads yet

It works for bulk downloads too :-)

so the only 'todo' is to guarantee that when the sat layer needs downloading, 
the overlay is redrawn after the sat layer is drawn; that may not be my 
priority :-D

r844 implements the patch, as improved to include redraw of overlay at the 
right time; needs review :-)

Hello Team,
It seems hybrid feature works fine now.
I am using 0.7.1.0 in windows XP. It does not support this feature.
Please suggest a way to use this patch in my local machine so that I can use 
this hybrid feature.

Thanks a lot Team :)
Prasenjit.

Hi Prasenjit,

I've found that an svn co - tortoiseSVN works nicely - to a new directory, 
*without* uninstalling the gmapcatcher windows installation, should work; you 
may need to install python 2.6 itself, although most of the dependencies - 
pygtk, pygobject, pycairo - are already there from the gmapcatcher windows 
installer; then you simply double-click your local svn'd file of maps.py, it 
should share the $HOME/.googlemaps directory automatically

It may well be time for a new version, although as the pygobject installer 
versions currently visible at ftp.gnome.org are unsuitable, that'll be the 
responsibility of someone who already has the windows toolchain

Yes, I guess is time for a new version...
