I am trying to find a .NET map control. It needs to be capable of multiple
layers and custom drawing. We woud like to have an areal photo as the base
image and have layered images (drawings) on top of it. Eg, water pipes,
boundry lines etc.

Is anyone aware of such a control?

Regards,
Mike.

This answer was given on a total other question by Herfried, I thought it
did not fit then but I think this will fit you perfect.

I give you his answer now, I think Herfried will give the same (or more
detailed) answer after about 11.00 GMT (if his hamster and the ms newsgroups
are active).

I know nothing about this subject, so you can start or wait till Herfried
(or another) passes by, Herfried knows in my opinion a lot of this.

Hi Mike,

I know nothing about maps but I know how to Google!! :-)

I used the following search:
"(map OR mapping) control" (VB.net OR C#) -"define-key"

This looks for "map control" or "mapping control" in VB.NET or C# (except
that Google haven't made adjustments for C# yet - but I've asked them). The
last bit: -"define-key" gets rid of a lot of mismatches about keyboard mapping
controls.

There's plenty for you to look at. I had a brief glimpse and found:

Regions are one way to solve the problems, but regions sometimes require
a lot of memory (depending on their complexity).
