Great turtorial. just one quick question. I have a problem of synchronisation with the Minimap. I’m trying to do a very simple thing : I’m adding two buttons on the main map with a a tag like Tag=”24.00,2.10,0.000 4.000 0.000″. I the use a simple function that you can see on each Virtual Earth tutorial

MainMap.View = (MapViewSpecification)viewConverter.ConvertFrom(((Button)sender).Tag);
MiniMap.View = (MapViewSpecification)viewConverter.ConvertFrom(((Button)sender).Tag);

Then, for one reason I don’t know, the main is updating itseflf correctly, but not the minimap. If I remove the code in the TargetViewChanged handler method, the miniMap is updating correctly. Any idea of why ?

Thanks for your help

Do you need a strong knowledge of C# to make this work? I use VS08 so I am somewhat familiar with the program, but I am getting a world of errors from this tutorial? For instance:

the tag ‘Map’ does not exist in XML namespace…

the type ‘m:Map’ was not found;

I would like to get this to work, I have used Expression Blend a little and I understand XML, but maybe I am in over my head?

Great tutorial! If anyone is implementing this, they will have to have to disable the mouse double-click in the same way that the click is handled.
