I am interested in using the Geo map offered with IG, but I need the background content to use a .tiff GIS file that I have, instead of using an online service.
Is there a way to do this with Infragistics? We would rather pay for individual GIS images than subscribe to an ongoing online service, since we only need a few square miles at a time.
I've seen a few posts on the forum about it, but I can't find anything more recent than 4 years old, and nothing that provides an example of how this would be done.
Hello Doug,
I have been investigating into the behavior you are looking to achieve in this case, and the best recommendations I can make in this case is to follow this forum thread and the verified answer made by Robert Stoffers to create a derived MapTileSource to use as the content.
The other option in this case is to simply place an Image with a Source pointed at your .tiff file inside of the BackgroundContent of your map, but this will not allow you to zoom the map. This is because the actual zooming capabilities of the map using the default map imagery comes from the tiles that are provided by the method recommended above.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns on this matter.
