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.

Regards,
Andreas.
