EmptyProvider and Citynames

[Dirk Liebich]

Hey there,

can anybody explain how to show the state and city names on the map when using the EmptyProvider?

I am not using the openstreetmap or bingprovider because I only want to show Asia on my map centered on the screen.
If I am using one of the providers above the map shows basically the entire earth and not only the shapes I have binded (Asia).

I am looking for a map that only shows Asia centered in the screen with its capital city names and states.

Thanks for any feedback.

Below you'll find my xaml....

Hello Dirk Liebich,

Unfortunately, we do not have this data. You can try searching the corresponding shape or KML files in internet.
