Environment

Product Version	2025.1.211
Product	RadMap for WPF

Description

The RadMap control provides the ability to display tiles from different map services via its providers. These map services require displaying copyright attribution label.

Solution

This article showcases how to display copyright attribution label for the OpenStreetMap and Azure Maps services when using the OpenStreetMapProvider and AzureMapProvider.

1. OpenStreetMap services and OpenStreetMapProvider

   The following example showcases how to display a copyright attribution label for the OpenStreetMap services when using the OpenStreetMapProvider.

   Defining the RadMap control with an OpenStreetMapProvider

   XAML

       <Grid>
           <telerik:RadMap x:Name="map">
               <telerik:RadMap.Provider>
                   <telerik:OpenStreetMapProvider APIKey="Your API key" StandardModeUserAgent="Your custom user agent string"/>
               </telerik:RadMap.Provider>
           </telerik:RadMap>
       </Grid>

   The OpenStreetMap Attribution Guideline states that the attribution text needs to note that the data is available under the Open DataBase License. This can be done by making the added element open their copyright article.

   Defining an element to display the attribution copyright label

   XAML

       <Grid>
           <Grid.Resources>
               <Style TargetType="telerik:MapScale">
                   <Setter Property="Margin" Value="0 8 20 40" />
               </Style>
           </Grid.Resources>
           <telerik:RadMap x:Name="map"
                           ZoomLevel="7" 
                           MinZoomLevel="4">
               <telerik:RadMap.Provider>
                   <telerik:OpenStreetMapProvider APIKey="Your API key" StandardModeUserAgent="Your custom user agent string"/>
               </telerik:RadMap.Provider>
           </telerik:RadMap>
           <Grid x:Name="CopyrightContainer" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" HorizontalAlignment="Right">
               <telerik:RadHyperlinkButton NavigateUri="https://openstreetmap.org/copyright"
                                           FontSize="10"
                                           Padding="5 2 20 4"
                                           Content="© OpenStreetMap contributors" 
                                           FontWeight="Bold"
                                           HorizontalAlignment="Right"/>
           </Grid>
       </Grid>
