    Map Source

    C1Maps can display geographical information from several sources. By default, C1Maps uses Microsoft LiveMaps aerial photographs as the source. You can change that using the Source property.

    The portion of the map that is currently visible is determined by the Center and Zoom properties, and by the size of the control:

    The Center property is of type PointD but it actually represents a geographic coordinate in which the X property is longitude and the Y property is latitude.

    The Zoom property indicates the current resolution of the map. A zoom value of 0 has the map totally zoomed out, and each increment of 1 doubles the map resolution.
