I know this is an old thread, but I just wanted to add some recent wisdom. If you set the correct min / max ratio on the overview map you can still use the cached service for it.
The overview control has minRatio and maxRatio to specify the ratio of the main map area to the overview map area. If these are both the same number, and that number is a square (terminology?) of 2 (because the GWC resolution doubles every time), the overview map can use the higher resolutions intended for your main map. I use 16 (2, 4, 16) The only issue here is if you zoom the main map right out the overview map shows the same area just in a smaller space. But then you don't need the overview map anyway as you can see everything. -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Using-the-GeoWebCache-seems-to-make-the-OpenLayers-Overview-Map-stop-working-tp3802780p4999131.html Sent from the GeoServer - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
