I had a lot of troubles with this, too. IMHO the problem exists regardless of the layer type (it can be vector, wms, wfs,... whatsoever). As I remember the point is to use baselayer.clone() instead of baselayer and the scale of overview should be carefully set in the options (ovOptions in my example code). It is also possible to incorporate more than one layer in overview, but the first one need to be a baselayer.
This is a piece of my code that works! var ovOptions = { maxExtent: new OpenLayers.Bounds(7380500, 4670500, 7670500, 4960500), units: 'm', projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:31277"), scales: [1700000] }; var overview = new OpenLayers.Control.OverviewMap({layers: [baselayer.clone(), layer_ovode, layer_ogradovi], mapOptions: ovOptions}); map.addControl(overview); -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Is-it-possible-to-have-an-OverviewMap-for-a-vector-layer-tp4855411p4860757.html Sent from the OpenLayers Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
