Map Background Content

Overview

By the default, the UltraGeographicMap control displays geographic imagery from the Open Street Maps in the map background content using the OpenStreetMapImagery class. However, there might be scenarios (for example, geographic shape series with detailed shape files of the world) where geo-spatial data from shape files provides enough geographic contexts and geographic imagery is not desired in the map background content.

Preview

The following image is a preview of the UltraGeographicMap control with hidden geographic imagery in the map background content.
