Is there a reason the ArcGIS provider does not require a key? Following the documentation shows the map without any issues.

https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/wpf/controls/radmap/features/providers/arcgis

Also, is there a way to use other styles or basemaps other than what the control provides? In particular, the imagery hybrid, which is aerial imagery with the roads/labels.

Is it possible to change the max zoom? ArcGisWorldMapSourceBase.cs uses a max zoom of only 19. I have the same issue with the Bing and Azure providers. I'd like to use the higher zoom levels available and not have the map control scale the images, which will then be blurry.

Hi Jason,

The ArcGisMapProvider doesn't require a key because the ArcGIS map services don't need one.

There is no method to use other styles or basemaps with the ArcGisMapProvider, but you should be able to do that by creating a custom tiles provider.

To change the max zoom, you can set the MaxZoomLevel of RadMap. About the maximum zoom level where the providers download tile images, this can be changed by creating a custom provider and modifying the web requests to the map services, but you may not get the expected output. Some providers limit the maximum level because the corresponding service provide tiles only up to this zoom level.
