How to duplicate an already initialised map in openlayers 3

Question

How can i duplicate an already initialised map state? I would like to save the hassle of re-initialising the same map then copying the layers over.

You can reuse the map object on different tags just by changing the target div when you want to use it on different pages.

    map.setTarget('map-holder');

If you want to display both maps at the same time then you can try this example https://openlayersbook.github.io/ch03-charting-the-map-class/example-05.html.

One map cannot have two targets at the same time as far as I know. Hope that helps.
