Hi,
You can create markers on the map inside a GOverviewMapControl just
like you do it on map object.
The only problem is that you can't add an overlay to any map until
that map has been given a zoom level, and for GOverviewMapControl you
must wait a while. If you're reading your marker information from
something like an XML file it's fine, because the GOverviewMapControl
zoom level will become defined before the status change. If you're
using Javascript to create markers, then you can set up a timeout, and
create your overlay markers when the timeout completes.
You should try the following:
// create the overview and obtain a reference to its GMap2
var overview = new GOverviewMapControl();
map.addControl(overview);
ovmap=overview.getOverviewMap();
// function to display a marker in the overview
function displayOverviewMarkers() {
var marker=new GMarker(new GLatLng(43.82589,-79.10040), smallIcon);
ovmap.addOverlay(marker);
}
// queue a timeout to invoke that function
setTimeout("displayOverviewMarkers()",1);
