You can render street maps in OpenStreetMap format by adding a StreetMapLayer<\/a> instance to the MapView<\/a>. In order to load a street map, create a new StreetMapLayer object and call its Map<\/a>‘s LoadFromXml<\/a> method to load the corresponding *.osm file. The pens and brushes used for drawing the map are stored within the StreetMapPens<\/a> and StreetMapBrushes<\/a> collections in the static StreetMapFeatures<\/a> class. You can define additional pens and brushes for drawing and painting certain map features by using the StreetMapLayer’s AddPen and AddBrush methods. <\/p>\n MindFusion Map Control for WinForms: Street maps<\/p><\/div>\n Zoom control <\/strong> <\/p>\n The ZoomControl<\/a> class lets users change interactively the current zoom level and scroll position of a MapView<\/a>. To set it up, add a ZoomControl to the form, place it anywhere over a MapView, and set the control’s Target<\/a> property to that view. Set the ZoomStep<\/a> and ScrollStep<\/a> properties to specify the amount added to view’s zoom level or scroll position by ZoomControl’s buttons. You can customize the control’s appearance by setting properties such as Fill<\/a>, BorderColor<\/a>, CornerRadius<\/a> and TickPosition<\/a>. <\/p>\n MindFusion Map Control for WinForms: Zoom<\/p><\/div>\n Multiple selection <\/strong><\/p>\n Now it’s possible to select multiple decorations or map shapes by drawing a selection rectangle.
