Hey @jenbartle - What version of Neatline? We made a change to the layer switcher in 2.3 that fixed a problem that would cause the widget to get hidden below the waypoints container when a Google layer was activated (long story). It sounds like you might be hitting something else, though I can't replicate it. Is there a live link to the exhibit?

I just looked into this, and it turns out to be a rather tricky problem. It happens when a Google layer is activated, which changes the markup structure of the map and create a new z-index stacking context. I actually found a way to clobber some styles in the Google API in a way that fixes this problem, but not without messing up lots of other stuff (the Google tiles start to slide over and occlude other elements on the page, etc).

@waynegraham, this, I guess, is the sort of thing that made the OL developers want to abandon Google entirely, and I suppose can't really blame them. Probably best to shelve this problem until we do the OL3 or Leaflet migration, which will likely fix this automatically.
