[OpenLayers-Users] Magnifier window

[Alexandre Dube]

Steve,

  You could try (pseudo-code):

 For each layer
   Clone it, add it to ov-map and attach it to the original layer ( layer.clonedLayer = myCloneLayer )
   Register a visibilitychange event to a onVisibilityChanged function

  onVisibilityChanged: function(event)
    this.clonedLayer.setVisibility(this.visibility())

Regards,

Alexandre
