Beautiful, light and responsive maps that show it all

Use any Tile Map Service to render the desired map and decorate it with icons, markers and text annotations at locations of your choice.

The MapView

The MapView control is responsible for rendering your maps with location pins and decorations. It supports scroll, pan and zoom. You can specify the zoom step, the min and max zoom level and the center of the map.

Map Layers

The map control supports two basic layer types: DecorationLayer and MapLayer. The decoration layer is used to store your location pins, icons, markers, annotations etc. The MapLayer is used to store information about the maps that can be rendered.

Map Services

MindFusion Mapping requires a Tile Map Service (TMS) provider to get the tiles of the maps to be rendered. You assign the TMS url through a dedicated property. Another property allows you to credit the map service provider, if required.

Methods and Events

Various methods are available to let you convert between client and geographical coordinates of the map, access decorations and scroll or pan to a given location. The rich event set includes notifications when users click or hover above a decoration or the map. Events are also raised when a layer is loaded or the MapView control has focus.
