Features

Map Sources

With Telerik Silverlight Map you can visualize rich geographical information from external geo imagery sources. Currently RadMap supports Bing Map Source, empty provider, OpenStreetMap provider and also offers custom provider extensibility options.

Pan and Zoom

Telerik Silverlight Map supports panning and zooming through the mouse, the keyboard and the navigational controls.

Map Views

Telerik Silverlight Map provides 3 different views: Road View, Aerial View and Bird’s Eye View.

Navigation Controls

RadMap has 3 navigation controls which give your users more flexibility when using the control: navigation control, command bar for switching between the three views of the map and zoom bar control for switching the zoom level. Also, RadMap provides out-of-the-box scale control so you can easily track the distance on the currently selected zoom level.

Multi-Touch Support

RadMap offers multi-touch support for panning and zooming the map view.

Information Layer

The information layer allows you to add any FrameworkElements and MapShape objects on the map, setting their geographical coordinates. For example you can use pie charts that visualize a city’s demographics in terms of age groups and show the charts on the map, linking the charts to the respective cities.

Top
Dynamic Layer

The dynamic layer takes the information layer one step further allowing for items virtualization using web services. This means that items are only loaded when the region of the map they belong to is visible. The result is a blazing fast Silverlight Map.
