About
Adds a small overview map to a print layout that shows where the main map sits within its wider region. The inset is placed in a corner of the main map, draws the main map's extent as a box, and re-centres itself when the main map is panned or zoomed. Works from the main QGIS toolbar and from the layout designer's Add Item menu. No external dependencies.
