[OpenLayers-Users] linking layerswitcher and overview map

[Janis Elmeris]

I'm doing it like this:

    map = new OpenLayers.Map (...);
    overviewMapControl = new OpenLayers.Control.OverviewMap (...);

    // Update the base layer of the overview map along with the base
    layer of the main map.
    map.events.register ('changebaselayer', this, function (layer,
    properties)
    {
         if (overviewMapControl.ovmap) {
             overviewMapControl.ovmap.setBaseLayer
    (overviewMapControl.ovmap.getLayersByName (layer.layer.name)[0]);
         }
         // else the overview map is not drawn yet.
    });

You must make sure that you've added to the overview map all the same 
layers you added to the big map, and that they have unique names (the 
first parameter for a layer constructor).
