Description

When switching basemap using setStyle all the layers are removed including any directions polyline. Is the directions control has been added to the map then the map should retain the directions polyline. The developer should not have to add these as these capabilities come out of the box with directions implementation

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in the directions plugin: add the directions control, draw a route, then switch the basemap with setStyle. Trace how the plugin handles style changes and confirm that the directions polyline remains visible afterward; done means switching styles no longer removes it.
