Maps for ASP.NET Web Forms raises the bar on image viewing with smooth zooming, panning, and mapping between screen and geographical coordinates. C1Maps allow you to display rich geographical information from various sources, including Bing Maps and Google Maps.
Built on top of the Microsoft Deep Zoom technology, C1Maps enable end-users to enjoy extreme close-ups with high-resolution images and smooth transitions. They also support layers that allow you to superimpose your own custom elements to the maps.
Key Features
-
Draw any Geometry: C1Maps' vector layer allows you to draw geometries, shapes, polygons, paths with geo coordinates on top of the map. The vector layer is useful to draw:
- Political borders (such as countries or states)
- Geo details (for example, showing automobiles or airplane routes)
- Choropleth maps (based on statistical data, such as showing population per country)
You can use the vector layer instead of the regular Microsoft Virtual Earth source to show a world map representation.
- Rich Geographical Information: Display rich geographical information from various sources, including Bing Maps as well as any custom source. For example, you can build your own source for Yahoo! Maps.
- Display a Large Number of Elements on the Map: Maps for ASP.NET Web Forms allows virtualization of local and server data. Using its virtual layer Maps only displays and requests the elements currently visible.
- Zoom, Pan, and Map Coordinates: Maps for ASP.NET Web Forms supports zooming and panning using the mouse or the keyboard. It also supports mapping between screen and geographical coordinates.
- Layers Support: Use layers to add your own custom elements to the maps. Elements are linked to geographical locations. For more information, see Vector Layer, Virtual Layer.
