for the final 2.0.0 as a user I think the best solution is to not show any 
menu option while the t-overlay is off but when the player hits t and the 
ovberlay is displayed then a new menu option should be added under View 
labelled "Hide overlay" or something like that. Since, in my understanding, 
only advanced players will need this extra information, then we can assume 
that they already know the t shortcut. But since it is possible for a new 
player to hit t accidentally then the menu command will help them to turn it 
off easily (obviously we couldn't expect from new players to know about the t 
shortcut).

Perhaps in the future, in versions 2.1.0 or 3.0.0, you could implement some 
kind of context menu being displayed either when the user right-clicks a city 
or when the city points a city with the cursor (in that case the context menu 
should be a box near the mini map or anywhere else, but not in the main map) 
with commands applicable to that city.
