More information in original blog post by @turban

Installation

Using npm for browserify npm install leaflet.sync (and require('leaflet.sync')), or just download L.Map.Sync.js and add a script tag for it in you html.

Usage

Two maps.

With two map objects, mapA and mapB, call mapA.sync(mapB) to sync interactions on mapA with mapB.

In order to make the other direction work, you should make another call: mapB.sync(mapA)

When in need to unsync maps simply call mapA.unsync(mapB) to release sync interactions on mapB and mapB.unsync(mapA) to release mapA.

More than two maps

Just make more calls to map.sync(), with different map objects. Interaction will be synced to all of them. If you want the actions to be synced vice-versa, you should synchronize all directions.

// synchronize three maps
mapA.sync(mapB);
mapA.sync(mapC);
mapB.sync(mapA);
mapB.sync(mapC);
mapC.sync(mapA);
mapC.sync(mapB);

API

mapA.sync(mapB, [options])

Replays all interaction on mapA on mapB to keep their views synchronized. Initially synchronizes the view of mapA to mapB.

Optional options:

{
	noInitialSync: true // disables initial synchronization of the maps.
}

mapA.unsync(mapB)

Removes synchronization.

mapA.isSynced()

Returns true if the map is synchronized with any other map.

Known issues

• Dragging is not propagated more than one level (In a a.sync(b.sync(c)) situation, dragging on a will not result in change on c).
