 * Hello, Your maps are impressive.
 * I need the following:
 *  I would like to have a second map next to the main map showing a macro (or country)
   view so user can quickly get an idea where the location is located in comparison
   to the rest of the country.
 * Sample mockup:
    ⌊overlay macro view⌉
 * **1. What is the technical term for the second map? (Someone said it might be
   called overlay).**
    2. Can your plugin do this? If not, can you recommend another
   plugin that does this? Or a modification that could accomplish this?
 * By modification, I mean possibility of adding to your plugin the ability to do
   this – without spending an arm and a leg on developer costs.
 * Thank you in advance.

 * Hi there,
 * We don’t offer this out of the box at all. I believe you could do something like
   this with multiple maps and a lightbox-like effect, but you’d have to be a developer.
   Short of that, i haven’t seen any other Maps plugins that do that at all.
 * Sorry!

 * Hello Matt, thanks for your reply. Forget about overlaying one map over the other.
   How about just putting two maps next to each other, say, in an html table? I 
   mean can your plugin handle doing two maps next to each other in the same post–
   both showing same location but at very different zoom levels?

 * Absolutely, no problems there at all. Each map has it’s own unique ID and can
   be targeted with different zooms and markers and everything.
 * Thanks!
