Adjusting Pitch and Heading

The Map controls Pitch and Heading properties that allow you to adjust the maps angle of inclination and the direction that the map is facing, respectively.

Pitch represents the inclination in degrees and is a double value between 0 and 75.

Heading is also a double value and represents the rotational offset of the map in degrees. The value can be a negative or positive value.

Two slider controls on the MapView page control the pitch and heading of the map. The Pitch slider is a vertical slider that is bound to the viewmodel’s Pitch property, as shown:

<Slider Value="{Binding Pitch, Mode=TwoWay}"
        Minimum="0" Maximum="75"
        Orientation="Vertical"
        ... />

The Heading slider is bound to the viewmodel’s Heading property.

Moving either slider updates the viewmodel, which updates the Map control.
