>>> 3. Problem/Error: Which content in Overview ?
>>> ==========================================================
>>> In a "normal" gui, the overview picture is generated by a wms. The
>>> number of the used wms ist stored in attribute SRC of module
>>> overview: ../php/mod_mapOV.php?wms=3&....
>>>
>>> Therefore the wms must be loaded into the gui AND the wms must be

>>> Let's assume, the user don't want to see the wms "Stadtplan" (the

>>> Now the user saves a wmc and loads this wmc.
>>>
>>> After loading the wmc no overview picture is generated. The needed
>>> wms is not checked !
>>>
>>>

>>> 3.1 Overview with static pixmap (my priority ONE)
>>> -------------------------------
>>> Mapbender should offer another, second possibility for generating
>>> overviews. A pixmap should be used (the limits and epsg-code may be
>>> given as a var for module overview).
>>>
>>> This pixmap will always be used, independent from user's
>choice of wms.
>>>
>>> Another benefit is, that the server has no not to compute wms
>>> requests for overviews.
>>>
>>>
>>> 3.2 The "old" MapBender behavior ist restored (my priority TWO)
>>> ----------------------------------------------
>>> If a "hidden" wms could be used (again) for generating overviews, a
>>> "hidden" wms with id=0 could ALWAYS be loaded into a gui. So always
>>> the same overview is used in a gui, independent of the selected wms.
>>>
>>>
>>> 3.3 Mapbender Extensions in WMC-XML-file (my priority THREE)
>>> ========================================
>>> MabBender will also save the WMS for generating the overview picture
>>> as a mapbender extension in the wmc file.
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>>
>>> Is there a possibility to implement solutions 3.1 and/or 3.2 at once
>>> ? Or in the next MB version 2.5.1 ?
>>>
>>> Or has anybody a tipp for me, how to restore the old mapbender
>>> behavior ?
