[API-users] Multiple taxonKey values with maps API ?

[Matthew Blissett]

Hi

I tried simply concatenating vector tiles, this is supported by the 
protocol but only works if the layers have different names. The layer 
for these tiles is always "occurrence", so it doesn't quite work.

https://labs.gbif.org/~mblissett/2018/08/concatenate-vector-tiles/ has a 
hack to make this work, but it's probably just as easy to add multiple 
layers to a map.
