The following members return GeoPoint objects:
Remarks
The GeoPoint structure introduces the GeoPoint.Latitude and GeoPoint.Longitude properties that defines a geographical point on the map.
Example
This example demonstrates how to calculate a route between several waypoints and change the appearance of a route path using the Microsoft Bing Route web service. Do this as follows.
- Create an InformationLayer object and add it to the MapControl.Layers collection.
- Create a BingRouteDataProvider object and assign it to the InformationLayer.DataProvider property.
- To calculate a route, call the BingRouteDataProvider.CalculateRoute method and pass a list of waypoints as its argument.
To customize the route path appearance, handle the InformationDataProviderBase.LayerItemsGenerating event and modify the MapPointer.Text property of each MapPushpin and customize the MapPolyline appearance.
Note that the polyline for the route and map pushpins for waypoints is generated automatically and the LayerItemsGenerating event occurs because the InformationDataProviderBase.GenerateLayerItems property value is true by default.
Note
Refer to How to: Get a Bing Maps Key if you run the application and see a window with the following error message: “The specified Bing Maps key is invalid. To create a developer account, refer to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/maps/create-a-bing-maps-key“.
