Raster Map Support
Microsoft Bing Maps and OpenStreetMaps
The DevExpress WinForms Map Control supports Bing Maps and its distinct map types: Area (photos of the Earth's surface), Road (Light, Gray, and Dark street views), and Hybrid (combination of both images and schemes).
If you'd prefer a non-commercial mapping option, our WinForms Map Control fully supports the OpenStreetMap format. You can obtain these maps from either the official OSM foundation website or from an alternative image tile provider.
Vector Map Support
Leverage the power of vector elements
The DevExpress WinForms Map control can render any vector data on its map surface. This can include shapes, pictures loaded from an external image file or an in-memory data source (IEnumerable, Dataset, etc.) and other custom drawn shapes. The Map control supports the following file formats:
- Shapefile
- KML / KMZ
- SVG
- PBF / MBTiles
- GeoJSON
- GPX
DevExpress Maps also includes Web Map Service support. These services allow you to obtain map data from a server as a single image. If the server supports multiple WMS layers, you can select the one most appropriate to your business requirements.
