Hi Dave, I understand your requirement but parallel map view really break the concept of the GUI.
Giving the views a name is something I can consider. Best you open an issue at Bitbucket else I might forget about it. If I want to compare maps I usually use the slider for transparency in the map's properties. Maybe that is an option for you, too. HTH Oliver > Gesendet: Dienstag, 06.
