Hi Milina , i m using ShapeFile in my  XamMap , the zoom works greate but i want to set it to a specific palce "france " for exemple

Hi,

To zoom initially into France, you could try something like this.

XAML:
        <igMap:XamMap x:Name="mapEurope">
            <igMap:XamMap.Layers>
                <igMap:MapLayer x:Name="europeLayer" Imported="europeLayer_Imported">
                    <igMap:MapLayer.Reader>
                        <igMap:ShapeFileReader Uri="Shapefiles/europe/europe" DataMapping="Name=CODE; Caption=CNTRY_NAME; Value=POP_CNTRY"/>
                    </igMap:MapLayer.Reader>
                </igMap:MapLayer>
            </igMap:XamMap.Layers>
        </igMap:XamMap>
CB:
 private void europeLayer_Imported(object sender, MapLayerImportEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.Action == MapLayerImportAction.End)
            {
                ZoomMapToRegion("France");
            }
        }

        public void ZoomMapToRegion(string region)
        {
            DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer();

            timer.Tick += (o, e) =>
            {
                foreach (MapElement el in mapEurope.Layers[0].Elements)
                {
                    if (el.Caption == region)
                    {
                        this.mapEurope.WindowRect = el.WorldRect;
                    }
                }

                ((DispatcherTimer)o).Stop();
            };

            timer.Start();
        }

Best Regards,
