For some aspects of route building I prefer Google Earth pictures as a map overlay, but sometimes the additional information provided in a proper map would be helpful. Also, sometimes the Google Earth photos are lacking in detail, especially when there are long shadows. So would it be possible to create two sets of UTM tiles for the same route and place them in different layers so they can be toggled? If so, would that require creating two separate base routes that need to be merged?

When implementing the UTM tile feature back then, I thought about allowing more than one layer. But that turned out to be rather difficult, as the UTM tile locations are managed at more than one place in the code and the code environment was not aware of layers, being written for earlier versions of Trainz. So gave up on this.
