Default zoom view on Bing map

Question

Hello All,

I have an application which has a map view that looks like this:

However, I would like it to default to a closer view (I do not want to see the north/south poles). Does anyone know what I need to do in order to make this change ? Resource with explanations would be great and code would be awesome. Thanks !

Answer 1

Just pass in the initial zoom level into the map reference. It's pretty easy. For example:

<m:Map x:Name="viewMap" CredentialsProvider="your key" Center="39.3683,-95.2734" ZoomLevel="4"/>

The very topic sticky post on the forums has a list of resources.
