In drag and drop markers method viewToLocation does not position the point in the right place, there is always an offset. Very little zoom point comes to be positioned in another country.

Here we can see an example of this problem http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/diagrams-and-maps/map/how-to/drag-and-drop-markers

Hi,

I've edited the demo to log the old and new locations in the console. The location seems to be correct after drag and drop at different zoom levels.

Do you have any specific instructions that I should follow to reproduce the issue?

Dear T Tsonev

We are having the same issue with the offset when dragging the pin. If you have a div preceding the map div, then this problem is clearly visible. Add the following div (just example) before the map div and you will notice the offset when the drag ends.

...

<body>
  <div > 
    <p> p1 </p>
    <p> p2 </p>
    <p> p3 </p>
    <p> p4 </p>
    <p> p5 </p>
    <p> p6 </p>
  </div>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
    var markers = [

...

Regards

Kobus

And the fix is to change the dragend function as follows to get the bounding rect of the map div for correct calculation of x and y position:

 

                // Update marker location
                dragend: function(e) {
                    e.sender.hint.hide();

                  var mapdiv = document.getElementById("map");
                  var rect = mapdiv.getBoundingClientRect();
                  
                    var loc = map.viewToLocation([e.x.client - rect.left, e.y.client - rect.top]);
                  console.log(marker.location().toString(), '->', loc.toString());
                    marker.dataItem.set("latlng", [loc.lat, loc.lng]);
                }

This is a bug that makes the Map control not behave like other Telerik controls. Please fix.

Hi Matt,

Are you able to replicate the behavior in the sample provided by T. Tsonev? The coordinates seem correct even after zoom. Could you please provide us with a sample where the issue can be reproduced?
