Map Tools

MapXtreme provides a number of map tools to assist you in navigating and interacting with the
background map. These tools are contained in the Visual Studio toolbox. Use them by dragging and
dropping the tool onto a web form.

Many of these tools are built into the MapXtreme web application template and sample applications,
including:

Basic tools for Center, Pan, Zoom-in, and Zoom-out

ZoomBarTool with pre-set zoom levels between 500 and12,500 map units

Directional tools (N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW) for direct line panning in 45-degree increments

The LegendControl, Distance tool and selection tools are located in the MapXtreme portion of the
Visual Studio toolbox.
