.NET MAUI Map Pan and Zoom

Telerik UI for .NET MAUI Map provides pan and zoom functionality that will help you interact with the view and inspect your data. The Map control handles the gestures drag, pinch-open and pinch-close which respectively cause panning, zooming-in and zooming-out of the associated plot area.

Interaction Modes

You can configure which gesture manipulations the user can do with the map through the enum InteractionMode property. InteractionMode can receive the following values:

• None: No interaction is allowed;
• Pan;
• Zoom;
• PanAndZoom (default value).

Here is a quick snippet how InteractionMode is applied:

<telerik:RadMap x:Name="map" InteractionMode="Zoom">
    <telerik:RadMap.Layers>
        <telerik:ShapefileLayer>
            <telerik:ShapefileLayer.Reader>
                <telerik:MapShapeReader x:Name="reader"/>
            </telerik:ShapefileLayer.Reader>
        </telerik:ShapefileLayer>
    </telerik:RadMap.Layers>
</telerik:RadMap>

Define the Source of the MapShapeReader as well:

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

In the example the .shp file is loaded as an EmbeddedResource, other options can be used as well, please check them in the ShapefileLayer topic.

Zoom Level Support

The Map exposes properties for applying min and max zoom values.

• MaxZoomLevel: Defines the maximum magnification factor at which content can be maximized. The default value is 20.0
• MinZoomLevel: Defines the minimum magnification factor at which content can be minimized. The default value is 1.0

You can check the current magnification through the readonly ZoomLevel property.

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

In addition, you can use the method below to set the provided zoom value as the current zoom level of the map:

• ZoomToLevel(double zoomLevel);

Setting the View

To show a specific area from the map, you can use SetView method as described below:

• SetView(LocationRect locationRect) – Sets the provided location as the current view of the map.

LocationRect class is a special type from the Telerik.Maui.Controls.Compatibility.ShapefileReader namespace, which describes a rectangle region through the locations of the northwest and southeast points.

For more details on how points are positioned in the geographic coordinate system, check Layers Overview topic.

Here is an example how to use SetView method (in the example the used latitude and longitude values are chosen to form a region around Italy):

var northWest = new Location(45.7, 4.8);
var southEast = new Location(37.7, 20.08);
var view = new LocationRect(northWest, southEast);
this.map.SetView(view);
