# GMaps.js add and remove layers - Layers

You can easily add or remove a layer using GMaps.js:

    var map = new GMaps({
      el: '#map',
      lat: -12.043333,
      lng: -77.028333
    });
    map.addLayer('weather', {
      clickable: false
    });
    map.addLayer('clouds');

Note: You can choose different layers. Possible values are weather, clouds, traffic, transit and/or bicycling

Note: Be aware that you have to add the library 'weather' in the url for the weather/clouds layer:

    http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true&libraries=weather

Note: In the second param you can add your options for the layer as object.

Note: To remove a layer you can use

    map.removeLayer('clouds');
