Let's talk about Layers.
Onions have Layers, Ogres have Layers, and now Ingress has Layers. I feel like not only is this a fun and needed addition to the game but also one that can be expanded upon even further in the future.
For instance a Drone Layer that shows all the portals visited by your Drone would be a very welcome addition. Especially for someone like me who drops his drone off in a dense area and tries to hack as many new portals as possible before getting recalled. It's easy to lose track of portals your drone has visited sometimes. Maybe a Drone Layer could even reveal all active drones on a five area.
Layers can be useful for other things as well. Anomaly Volatiles maybe. Or Shard Portals.
There could be a Passcode Layer that reveals hidden codes embedded in the map.
Or why not a Recursion Layer that reveals special hidden portals only recursed Players can see and access that can be captured, linked, and fielded without being affected by regular links and fields?
Pick apart my ideas or insert your own in the space below.

As long as I can view multiple layers at once, sure, why not?
i think a layer that highlights which portals are mission start points would be useful. Currently you can click on the portal itself to see the mission start icon, or go into the missions tab, but it would be cool to be able to survey the landscape and see where the missions start.
Brilliant
this is great ideia. helps a lot missions hunters =)
A marker layer that shows which portals are fully deployed would be cool when planning fields on the fly.
A layer that shows which portals don't yet have your R8 so you can go and upgrade them.
In the old classic Ingress Mission start portals had halos.
Is annoying that it wasn't carried over to Prime
