MapPolyline isssues

[figueiredorj]

Hi.

I am using  MapPolyline to draw paths on map.

Doing that I have two issues:

• In first place I am only been capable of creating a MapPolyline adding location by location. Is a way of adding for example a List of Locations?
• I have another issue that don't , know if is related to it or not but in part I know it does. If I add all my paths in a single polyline there isn't much lag; however If I split it by time (10:00, 11:00, 12:00,...) it takes too much time loading it in map. (I do believe that bing maps has something to do with it too, but I am unsure if I could use a more performing object or load it in a better way.)

I also set direction with arrows by 100 to 100 meters...
my code:

  var line = new MapPolyline() { Stroke = color, StrokeThickness = 2 };
    line.Points = new LocationCollection();

    int auxDistance = 0;
    IGeo last = null;
    foreach (var point in route)
    {
        if (auxDistance > 100)
        {
            auxDistance = 0;
            BuildArrowAtPoints(last.Location, point.Location, color);
        }
        auxDistance += point.IODistance;
        last = point;
        line.Points.Add(point.Location);
    }
    RoutesLayer.Items.Add(line);
}
SetBestView(SpeedLayer, this.Map);

Hi Figueiredorj,

You can create a collection of the locations first, and then assign it to the polyline. For example:

var line = new MapPolyline() { Stroke = color, StrokeThickness = 2 };
LocationCollection points = new LocationCollection();

int auxDistance = 0;
IGeo last = null;

foreach (var point in route)
{
   if (auxDistance > 100)
   {
       auxDistance = 0;
       BuildArrowAtPoints(last.Location, point.Location, color);
   }

   auxDistance += point.IODistance;
   last = point;
   points.Add(point.Location);
}

line.Points = points;
RoutesLayer.Items.Add(line);

I hope this approach will help you resolve your second problem as well. Anyway, could you please, provide us with some more information on your polylines:

1. How many polylines you add to the information layer?
2. What is min, max and average number of points in the 1 polyline?
3. What is total number of points in all polylines?

Kind regards,
