I want to know if a specific point is the sea or land.

[YongWook]

Hello, I am a user using telerik winforms.
I am gratefully using radmap.
But I can not solve this problem, so I leave a post.

I am doing research to simulate drifting objects in the ocean.
But since a drifting object can not pass through the ground, I need a way to know if the specific coordinates are in the ground or in the sea.
It seems difficult to solve this method using 'Elevation'.

to sum it up,
Whether there is a way to know whether a specific point is the sea or the land.

Thank you.

Hi YongWook,

Thank you for writing.

In order to check if a particular geo point is located in the sea or not you would need to rely on some service to do the job. Bing is providing an elevation API which is utilized by RadMap and you can access it through the IMapElevationProvider interface.

I can suggest performing an elevation request using the List elevation type and then to work with the returned sea level. You can check the following documentation article providing an example: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/map/providers/bingmaps/elevation/list.

I hope this helps. Should you have further questions please do not hesitate to write back.

Thank you so much for your good reply.

With the reply, I was able to distinguish the sea (1m) from the land on the route.

Thank you again.
