Hi,
I'm having a problem with distances, which seems to be manifesting itself in two ways but probably has the same root cause.
Firstly, the scale shown on the maps doesn't seem to be correct. As an example, I've attached a couple of screenshots. The first shows an airport feature on a raster Virtual Earth map from maps.live.com.
Here, you can see the main runway is approximate 2km long.
The second screenshot shows the same feature in Virtual Earth, but this time loaded within Map Suite.
I know the tiles look slightly different (because MS have recently updated the images on maps.live.com), but the airport feature is the same size which indicates they are at the same logical scale (I've confirmed this with other roads/features as well). The scale bar in Map Suite however, now implies the main runway is about 3km long.
The second manifestion of the issue is when I'm rendering circles that have been stored with a central lat/lon and a radius in metres. These are now being rendered smaller in Map Suite that they used to be when we used a different 3rd party component, which is consistent with the behaviour described above (i.e. Map Suite thinks a given distance is smaller than it actually is).
Is this a problem in the component, or a misunderstanding on my part in the way I'm using it? All of the maps we're displaying are spherical Mercator, and the map units are set to metres. We're not seeing any issues with lat/lon positioning - just these problems with distances. I'm just using the standard ZoomLevels (1-20), not custom ones.
Best regards,
Gary
