Visualize your position in an Overview Map

How to Setup (Overview Map Level)

1. Open the OverviewMap_bp or OverviewMap_cpp level.
2. Click on the ArcGISMapActor in the Outliner panel.
3. Set your API key under the Authentication section in the Details panel.
4. Click Play and select a city from the list.

How to Setup (Sample Viewer)

1. Click Play in Unreal Editor.
2. Input your API key under the API Key Drop-down.

How it works (C++)

1. Create an ArcGIS Map using the UI Creator. Call it Main ArcGISMap. Drag in an ArcGISPawn into the scene and make it a child of the Main ArcGISMap
2. Create a second ArcGIS Map using the UI Creator in the same origin location as the first one. Call this one ArcGIS Overview
3. Drag in the OverviewMapCamera C++ actor. Position it below the Main ArcGISMap but above the ArcGIS Overview Map. Ensure that the OverviewMapCamera is a child of the ArcGIS Overview Map.
4. Hit play.

Note: You can use UE_LOG to print log messages in the Output Log window and see if you are gathering the data properly from the feature service.

How it works (Blueprints)

1. Create an ArcGIS Map using the UI Creator. Call it Main ArcGISMap. Drag in an ArcGISPawn into the scene and make it a child of the Main ArcGISMap
2. Create a second ArcGIS Map using the UI Creator in the same origin location as the first one. Call this one ArcGIS Overview
3. Drag in the bp_OverviewMapCamera blueprint actor. Position it below the Main ArcGISMap but above the ArcGIS Overview Map. Ensure that the OverviewMapCamera is a child of the ArcGIS Overview Map.
