How to use the sample

The map view has several methods for setting its current viewpoint. Select a viewpoint from the UI to see the viewpoint changed using that method.

How it works

1. Create a Map object and set it to the MapView object.
2. Change the map’s viewpoint using one of the available methods:
   • Use MapViewProxy.setViewpoint(_:duration:) to pan to a viewpoint over the specified length of time.
   • Use MapViewProxy.setViewpointCenter(_:scale:) to center the viewpoint on an Point and set a distance from the ground using a scale.
   • Use MapViewProxy.setViewpointGeometry(_:padding:) to set the viewpoint to a given Geometry.
