Hi Zoltan,

yep, that is called 'overview' :-)

if you do see it, make it appear via: View/Panels/Overview

After loading one of your reference layers in QGIS, add it to the
overview via right-mouse on layer in Legend, and then 'Show in overview'.
That layer will be shown in the overview, with a red box for the current
map extent.
