.NET MAUI Map Commands

Updated on Aug 11, 2026

The Telerik UI for .NET MAUI Map control provides the following commands of type ICommand which handle the zoom level of the visualized shapes:

• ZoomInCommand

• ZoomOutCommand

You can manually call these commands, for example on button click action, to zoom-in or zoom-out respectively, the shapes displayed in RadMap.

Following is a quick example on how the commands of the Map control can be called from external UI:

1. The RadMap definition:

XAML

<telerik:RadMap x:Name="map" MinZoomLevel="2" MaxZoomLevel="5">
    <telerik:RadMap.Layers>
        <telerik:MapShapefileLayer>
            <telerik:MapShapefileLayer.Reader>
                <telerik:MapShapeReader x:Name="reader"/>
            </telerik:MapShapefileLayer.Reader>
        </telerik:MapShapefileLayer>
    </telerik:RadMap.Layers>
</telerik:RadMap>

2. Where the Source of the MapShapeReader is defined like this:

C#

var assembly = this.GetType().Assembly;
var source = MapSource.FromResource("SDKBrowserMaui.Examples.MapControl.world.shp", assembly);
this.reader.Source = source;

3. Add two buttons that will execute the Map commands - their Command property is bound to the corresponding Zoom command of the Map instance:

XAML

<Button Text="Zoom In" Command="{Binding Source={x:Reference map}, Path=ZoomInCommand}"/>
<Button Text="Zoom Out" Command="{Binding Source={x:Reference map}, Path=ZoomOutCommand}"/>

4. And the namespace for RadMap:

XAML

xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2022/xaml/maui"
