In the BING maps, the ‘Aerial’ view used to show the satellite view. In the HERE maps, the ‘Aerial’ view shows the satellite view too but not showing addresses. See example below:
I used the Hybrid map view option and its close enough to the BING satellite view:

I am using Chromium Embedded Framework and CEF to show bing map in a windows application. we do pass origin, destination to the map using the waypoints, but upon loading the map, the current location of where we reside shows up first before drawing a path between origin and destination in the map.
we are using Microsoft.Maps.Directions and Microsoft.Maps.Location for this purpose.
any setting I have to disable to prevent showing the current location of the user upon loading the map?
The map by default loads to the user location. To override this, simply set a center and zoom level of the map when loading the map. If you want to show a world view initially, set the center to 0,0 and the zoom to 1.
What I am trying to do:
Use Coded UI Test Automation to assert features about a WPF application's Bing Map. Specifically, I need to find the name and coordinates of pushpins that have already been added to the Bing Map.
Bing Map with custom pushpin
What I have tried:
I have referenced https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh750210.aspx for working with WPF Bing Maps, however it only appears to development focused.
I have also tried using the following code to find all children controls of the WPF Custom Control (bing map).
WpfCustom mapView = uiMap.UIMapView.UIMap;
UITestControlCollection mapChildren = mapView.GetChildren();
What would be the best way to draw a custom route on a QML Map with a set of given coordinates?
Basically, all I need is that the map highlights the path along the road and does not go straight to each point.
No animations needed either.
Edit:
I need it to be in a desktop application.
One option is to display a HTML website using Leaflet or OpenLayers. Both support displaying a GPX track. The track can be obtained by using one of the various online routers for OSM.
I want to develop a multi-paint: An application, which each user can paint route on a map, save the route, and in the end all the saved routes will be "merged" into one big picture (like layers in photoshop)
How should I save the routes? List of pixels to be drawn? Save it to picture (with transparent background?)
The application will be developed in WPF on bing maps (on touch device).
Thank you very much
You would have to save the latitude and longitude values of the route points, perhaps in a LocationCollection, which is part of the Bing Maps WPF Control API.
Simply saving the pixels wouldn't work when you want to be able to zoom the map.
on a web page I want to show 2 maps canvas, one showing satellite view and the other showing map view but if I drag any of those canvas it will also move the other one in the same direction.
I tried Google but couldn't find any relevant info.
