Display a map with a predefined initial extent.
Use case
You can set a map's initial location when you want to highlight a particular feature or area to establish the context.
How to use the sample
When the map loads, note the specific location of the initial map view.
How it works
- Create a
Envelope(xMin, yMin, xMax, yMax, SpatialReference). - Create a
ViewpointExtentcontaining the envelope. - Set the initial viewpoint of the map to the viewpoint extent.
Relevant API
- Basemap
- Map
- MapView
About the data
The map opens with satellite imagery of a guitar-shaped field in the Pampas region of north central Argentina.
