The XamGeographicMap control’s Series property is used to support rendering an unlimited number of geographic series. This property is a collection of geographic series objects and any type of geographic series can be added to it. For example, GeographicSymbolSeries can be added for plotting geographic locations such as cities and the GeographicPolylineSeries for plotting connections (e.g. roads) between these geographic locations.
