Thanks for your reply Zsolt, but the elements in your example don't appear to scroll with the map. The behaviour I want is seen in Google Maps, when the user scrolls around the map, the next and previous buttons are anchored to a specific OverlayItem. To state in another way, I want to have buttons that remain at a certain latitude and longitude on the map.
