Description

Great Project, not sure if this error is called wrong from customtk as I am instantiating this object from a tkbutton in a seperate window.

Exception in Tkinter callback
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\wills\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\tkinter_init_.py", line 1921, in call

_tkinter.TclError: image "pyimage8" doesn't exist

The instantiated object opens its new window fine, however the map is blank white and wont search

Research direction

Start by reproducing the separate-window setup described in the issue, then read tkintermapview/map_widget.py around update_canvas_tile_images and tkintermapview/canvas_tile.py around set_image and draw. Confirm the cause of the missing pyimage8 image and verify that the map renders and search works in the new window.
