Hi guys,
Created a Virtual Earth (Bing) map to show a simple pin at a particular point. Everything works right now - the pin shows up, the title and description pop up on hover.
The map is initially fully zoomed into the pin, but the STRANGE problem is that when I zoom out it moves slightly lower on the map. So if I started with the pin pointing somewhere in Toronto, if I zoom out enough the pin ends up i the middle of Lake Ontario! If I pan the map, the pin correctly stays in its proper location. When I zoom back in, it moves slightly up until it's back to its original correct position!
I've looked around for a solution for a while, but I can't understand it at all. Please help!!
Thanks a lot!
import with javascript: http://ecn.dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/mapcontrol.ashx?v=6.2
$(window).ready(function(){
GetMap();
});
map = new VEMap('birdEye');
map.SetCredentials("hash key from Bing website");
map.LoadMap(new VELatLong(43.640144 ,-79.392593), 1 , VEMapStyle.BirdseyeHybrid, false, VEMapMode.Mode2D, true, null);
var pin = new VEShape(VEShapeType.Pushpin, new VELatLong(43.640144 ,-79.392593));
pin.SetTitle("Goes to Title of the Pushpin");
pin.SetDescription("Goes as Description.");
map.AddShape(pin);
