Bird's eye pushpin bug? Not working even in the interactive SDK.

Virtual Earth: Map Control Development

muridayo


I'm having difficulting adding a pushpin in bird's eye view. I also noticed that the Interactive Virtual Earth site does not work if you do the following:

1. zoom to an area and switch to Bird's Eye view

2. select Use Default Shapes/Add Default Shapes/Add Pushin

This does not add a pushpin, and it seems to also crash the map, as I can't switch back to map view anymore.

What does seem to work is if you start with map view and THEN switch over to bird's eye, but not vice versa.

Is this really a bug, or am I doing something wrong

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You need to use the VEBirdsEyeScene class to insert pushpins properly when in birds eye. One example is to get the pixel co-ordinate of the center, then make a call to VEBirdseyeScene.PixelToLatLong.

Hope that helps,

Yes, that works. However, I want to add a pushpin on a bird's eye map by clicking on a location on the map. This does not work. Is this not possible
