Description

Hi, is it possible to define multiple (background) maps? For example, the default background map and in addition a custom map (effectively using this as an overlay map)? This would greatly enhance the possibilities for story telling. Example would be to have the default background map, and an additional custom map with floodrisk areas.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating how the default background map is configured and rendered, then determine how an additional custom map could be represented as an overlay. Done would mean supporting both the default map and a custom flood-risk-style map together, with coverage confirmed by relevant tests or a documented manual check.
