I can get the map tiles and all the normal things in the map control 
work well. Dragging, zooming etc. What I don't understand is how to use 
the layers to add things like the golf tee or a popup menu. I have 
looked at the your test forms in the component, particularly the one 
that uses openstreetmap, I can sort of follow your code but when I try 
it myself I just can't get it right. (In fact I can't get it to work at all)
