      • Hi, When the map loads, calling SetMapView() causes the status of the bird's eye icon on the dashboard to be incorrect. I am sure the reason is related to some asynchronous calculations that the Earth Map Control is performing when the map loads. What I don't like is that the bird's eye icon on the dashboard is enabled, which is wrong when the map loads. < html >
