Hit me baby one more time!

Here are the steps.

You can do this by making a couple of generic functions.

This first function performs a hiTest on a given view and layer by converting the mapPoint to a screenPoint. Then it goes throught the steps of highlighting the feature on the map.

Now you need to add some click events to your views, so let me write a generic function for that.

This second method takes two sets of views and layers. It then calls event.stopPopagation() to the popup doesn’t show up, and passes the mapPoint, views, and layers to the hitView method we just created.

Now we just needd to apply this method to our current views and layers.

This will now keep the hitTest synced across two different map views.

You can see this sample in action here.

You can also watch a video where I cover this code sample step by step.

You’ll notice I’ve refactored the code in the sample above a bit from the video, but I like it much better now!

Go forth and geohack my friends!
