•If more than one layer is found on the click point, a list of layers is returned to the user. Additionally, the user will see immediately how many objects each layer contains at the click point. All found layers will be listed in the callback if the parameter send Layer/Feature List as callback is activated. After clicking one of the respective layers, the user either get a further list of objects or directly the MapTip depending whether a layer contains one or more objects at the click point.
