Is there any way to replicate in ArcGIS Pro something similar to the overview window in desktop?  I have tried using two map windows but it doesn't quite give me what I need.  I am panning through a raster dataset at a large scale and would like to have an overview of where I am on the image.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Agree.  It is/was a useful and time-saving tool in ArcGIS Desktop.  Esp. considering how ArcGIS Pro renders selected features, which visually obscures small unselected features.unselected features obscured by rendering of selected features.

The ArcGIS Pro SDK community samples has an add in sample which works pretty similarly to the ArcMap overview window.  It is listed under framework: arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samples/Framework/MapControl at master · Esri/arcgis-pro-sdk-community-samp....  I adjusted the size a little and find it works quite well when panning over a large image.
