Background map in map overview

[RyanDavidson1]

Hi

Is it possible to have a different background map in a map overview to the background map in the main layout. If i activate the main layout frame and change the background map then the overview background also changes and vice versa.

A similar question applies to feature layers, can i switch a number of them off in the map overview while they are on in the main layout frame.

I am looking for a solution that doesn't involve coding.

I have done this in the past by making a copy of my map and renaming it to Overview Map. I then configure it with the basemap and layers that make sense for the overview and select it when I create the overview map frame on my layout. Both maps refer to the same layers, but they can be adjusted independently.

Thanks Linda

I copy pasted the map in the catalog pane and changed the name, worked a treat!

Hi Ryan, 

@LindaWilliams1 has the answer. You need to different maps.
