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.

I have a pdf file of a map of the building and I want to attach this map into the app. How can I do it? I try to convert the pdf file into the URL and use action event in the button but it didn't work. I also screenshot the map and attach the picture into the button but it is too large and I can't zoom in the detail in the map. Do you have any idea about this?
You can use an image an then place it with an ImageViewer. That allows pinch to zoom on the device so you can see the finer details.
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.
I created a website separately first and then opened it in Expression web to insert the deep zoom image in, but I keep getting this error:
"Add the page to a site and then try to insert the deep zoom image"
I have no idea what to do next, could somebody please point me in the right direction?
Where are you inserting the image? Deep zoom image is not a single image. It is collection of images. One embeds the deep zoom player that comes with deep zoom composer into a web page to display those images. Did you use deep zoom composer for creating deep zoom images? You can try http://www.imagesurf.net which allows online automated deep zoom/open zoom of photos and also allows to embed it in your web page. I am affiliated with the site.
