Include an overview or inset map as an additional map view to show the wider context of the primary view.
Use case
An overview map provides a useful, smaller-scale overview of the current map view's location. For example, when you need to inspect a layer with many features while remaining aware of the wider context of the view, use an overview map to help show the extent of the main map view.
How to use the sample
Pan or zoom across the map view to browse through the tourist attractions feature layer and watch the viewpoint or scale of the linked overview map update automatically. You can also navigate by panning and zooming on the overview map directly.
How it works
Declare a MapView containing a Map with the ArcGISTopographic basemap style.
Add a FeatureLayer to the Map using a ServiceFeatureTable.
Declare a Rectangle to use as a border and add an OverviewMap component from the ArcGIS Maps SDK for Qt Toolkit.
Assign the MapView to the geoView property of the OverviewMap to connect the MapView with the OverviewMap.
This sample uses the overview map toolkit component, which requires the toolkit to be cloned and set up locally. For information about setting up the toolkit, visit the repository's UI Tools page.
