dijit.OverviewMap

Marie-GilSeptfonds — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 10:46:45 GMT

Hello every body,

I'm trying to use the overviewMap dijit.
I want to use another map than the principal map in the overviewMap.

Does anyone know how can I do that ?

I found I had to load my first layer twice otherwise the overview map keeps it from working so try loading your first layer just for overview and then laod your others as usual. P.S. I have found that having the overview map in my application prevents it from running in Firefox. Hopes this helps.

//This first layer loaded supports the overview map so TOPO is loaded twice to
//keep the overview map from gobbling it up.
var TOPO2 = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://gisportal.msl.mt.gov/ArcGIS/rest/services/TOPOServiceCached/MapServer", {id:"TOPO2", opacity:0.5,visible:false});
map.addLayer(TOPO2);

Is it possible to make a MapService only for OverviewMap? is it necessary to add service to map?

var capaOverview = new esri.layers.ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer("http://servidor:8399/arcgis/rest/services/intranet/overview/MapServer",{id:"Overview", visible:true});

var overviewMapDijit = new esri.dijit.OverviewMap({
map: map,
baseLayer:capaOverview,
visible: true,
expandFactor: 10
}, dojo.byId("overviewMapDiv"));
overviewMapDijit.startup();

Thanks
