1) I would like the Layer class to have a Clip property like the WPF controls... so we can supply a geometry and have a different way of visualizing the layers

2) TimeSlider control to update on the fly while scrubbing the slider

maybe we can sticky this?

I'd like to see the followings also:

the initialization is taking a bit. No problem itself, but it would be better if that happened on a secondary thread, instead the UI's one. That's lock any user input/output. In such a way the progression event could be fired during the initialization also.

the Layer object isn't an UIElement, being a proxy for the real element instantiation: there's no way to attach commands, events, etc.

there's no access to the real canvas used by (for example) the ElementLayer: that's making cumbersome to intercept/manage the instatiated elements and the container itself.

Points 2 and 3 are similar indeed. You might solve by giving the developer the ability to manage the Canvas collection hosted by the Map control. The Layer object relation could be done via an attached property, for example.
Instead the attached-property, you might instance a particular (sealed) kind of Canvas derived element.

Thanks a lot.
Cheers
