Property MapScale

MapScale

Gets the scale of the MapView.

Declaration

public double MapScale { get; }

Property Value

Type	Description
System.Double	The scale of the MapView.

Remarks

You can observe changes to this property by listening to the System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged.PropertyChanged event.

The scale represents the relationship between a distance in the MapView (on the screen) and the corresponding distance on the ground. For example, a scale of 100,000 indicates that one centimeter on the MapView display equates to one kilometer on the ground.

Users can interactively change the scale using the map view's zooming gestures. You can set the scale programmatically using methods that set the Viewpoint, such as SetViewpointScaleAsync(Double).

The value is System.Double.NaN until the load status of the Map is Loaded and the draw status of the GeoView is Completed.
