OpenStreetMapProvider question . . .

[Tamir Kaneh]

hello.
i am using RadMap for silverlight 4, and using this provider .
By default each country information(labels) is in English , Russian, Hebrew, Arabic.
How can i change the setting for showing me only info with english labels ?

like in this example :http://osm.ev-en.org/

in the right side of the screen there is a (+) mark ... and there you can change the map language.

i tried to use the property , but it didn't get any effect.

RadMap.Language = 'en-us'

do i need to write my own provider ?
I discovered that the tiles url built with language code

 

http://a.tiles.osm.ev-en.org/"+code+"osm/${z}/${x}/${y}.png

Hi Tamir Kaneh,

Unfortunately the original OSM service at openstreetmap.org which is used in our OpenStreetProvider does not provide this feature. The service you are referencing to is created by one of the OSM enthusiast and is not an official OSM map source. You can use it through your own custom map provider.

Hello,

Is it possible to set preffered Culture \ Languange for OSM and Bing provider using the latest version of RamMap?
If it is true, show please c# code how to do it or documentation reference, please.

Hello Nikolai,

Currently the Bing Maps provider uses a culture info from the Language property of RadMap. By default it is "en-US". You can specify the Language property value in XAML code or from the code behind for example to "de-DE" to get a map in German.
The sample code is below.

<UserControl x:Class="MapLocalization.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    mc:Ignorable="d"
    d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="400">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <telerik:RadMap x:Name="radMap" Language="de-DE">
            <telerik:RadMap.Provider>
                <telerik:BingMapProvider ApplicationId="xxxx-yyyy-zzzz" />
            </telerik:RadMap.Provider>
        </telerik:RadMap>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

You can look at the languages which are supported by Bing Maps Imagery Service using the following link:

Unfortunately the OSM does not support this feature.

All the best,
