Hi&nbsp;Anggi,&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;We&nbsp;don’t&nbsp;support&nbsp;keyboard&nbsp;pan&nbsp;for&nbsp;silverlight&nbsp;edition.&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;But&nbsp;you&nbsp;can&nbsp;implement&nbsp;that&nbsp;by&nbsp;add&nbsp;event&nbsp;like&nbsp;this:&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;` Map1.KeyDown += new KeyEventHandler(Map1_KeyDown);    void Map1_KeyDown(object sender, System.Windows.Input.KeyEventArgs e)        {            if (e.Key == System.Windows.Input.Key.Left)            {                Map1.Pan(PanDirection.Left, 20);            }            else if (e.Key == System.Windows.Input.Key.Right)            {                Map1.Pan(PanDirection.Right, 20);            }        }`&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;You&nbsp;should&nbsp;make&nbsp;sure&nbsp;the&nbsp;map&nbsp;control&nbsp;always&nbsp;get&nbsp;focus&nbsp;if&nbsp;you&nbsp;follow&nbsp;this&nbsp;way.&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Regards,&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Don
