Viewpointusing one of the available methods:
- Use
MapView.SetViewpointAsync()to pan to a viewpoint. - Use
MapView.SetViewpointCenterAsync()to center the viewpoint on aPoint. - Use
MyMapView.SetViewpointScaleAsync()to set a distance from the ground using a scale. - Use
MapView.SetViewpointGeometryAsync()to set the viewpoint to a givenGeometry.
