Hi, for those of you who want to stick with the old-style locator map instead of the new OverviewMap widget, here is good news:
the "complete" demo of Mapbuilder trunk now has a working locator map based on MapPaneOL instead of OverviewMap. I made ZoomToAoi and AoiBoxDHTML work with MapPaneOL, so this locator map approach is working again now. Generally speaking, the OverviewMap widget is simpler to configure because it is just a widget on the main map context. But for existing applications, where users are used to the way the locator map works, it might make sense to keep the old-style locator map. Also in configurations where map material for the locator map is completely different than in the main map, a locator map with its own context might be useful. Warning to all others who want to move their existing projects to the new Mapbuilder trunk version: remove AoiBoxDHTML from your main map models, because the new Mapbuilder button widgets all do their aoi handling without this widget. AoiBoxDHTML should only be used for old-style locator maps without button controls.
