===== Overview =====
In this sample we show you how you can use client and server side overlays to create great looking maps. We explore how to add WMS services on the client side to add basemaps such as WorldMapKit, OpenStreetMap, BingMaps, and GoolgeMap. At the same time we show you how you can add custom overlay on the server side to render your data on to the map.

In this sample we overlay all the schools located in Frisco, Texas. From server side we use special styles with the custom overlays to load our data. There is a check box on the upper right corner that allows you to turn on/off the custom overlay. From the server side Map Suite WebAPI Edition loads up the LayerOverlay for the layer which contains the schools. You have full control for adding your own layers to create customized maps.
