Resizable Split Map Panes

Comparing layers

This example allows comparison of two layers with resizable map panes using the Split.js library.

TypeScript

function initMap(): void {
  const mapOptions = {
    center: { lat: 44.5250489, lng: -110.83819 },
    zoom: 18,
    scaleControl: false,
    streetViewControl: false,
  };

  // instantiate the map on the left with control positioning
  mapLeft = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map-left") as HTMLElement,

      ...mapOptions,
      mapTypeId: "satellite",
      tilt: 0, // at high zoom levels we need to maintain the same projection

    (

    ).style.width = `${width}px`;
  }

  // trigger to set map container size since using absolute
  handleContainerResize();
  // add event listener
  window.addEventListener("resize", handleContainerResize);

  //@ts-ignore
