How do i make a uwp app like google earth on visual studio 2022

Hi @Luke Ferguson ,

In order to test MapLocationFinder you need to have a maps authentication key first.

Your Universal Windows app must be authenticated before it can use the MapControl and map services in the Windows.Services.Maps namespace. To authenticate your app, you must specify a maps authentication key.

Please see Request a maps authentication key.

Below is a simple search address function I wrote, you can refer to it.

<Grid>

     <Custom:MapControl x:Name="MapTest" Style="Aerial3DWithRoads"  ZoomInteractionMode="GestureAndControl"  
    TiltInteractionMode="GestureAndControl" Loaded="MapControl_Loaded"  MapServiceToken="your token">
         <SearchBox x:Name="searchBox" Width="150" Background="White" QuerySubmitted="SearchBox_QuerySubmitted"/>
     </Custom:MapControl>

 </Grid>

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page
 {
     public MainPage()
     {
         this.InitializeComponent();
     }

     private async void SearchBox_QuerySubmitted(SearchBox sender, SearchBoxQuerySubmittedEventArgs args)
     {
         string addressToGeocode = searchBox.QueryText;

         // The nearby location to use as a query hint.
         BasicGeoposition queryHint = new BasicGeoposition();
         queryHint.Latitude = 47.643;
         queryHint.Longitude = -122.131;
         Geopoint hintPoint = new Geopoint(queryHint);

         // Geocode the specified address, using the specified reference point
         // as a query hint. Return no more than 3 results.
         MapLocationFinderResult result =
               await MapLocationFinder.FindLocationsAsync(
                                 addressToGeocode,
                                 hintPoint,
                                 3);

         // If the query returns results, display the coordinates
         // of the first result.
         if (result.Status == MapLocationFinderStatus.Success)
         {
             
             BasicGeoposition cityPosition = result.Locations[0].Point.Position;
             var cityCenter = new Geopoint(cityPosition);

             await MapTest.TrySetViewAsync(cityCenter,12);
         }
     }

     private async void MapControl_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
     {
         BasicGeoposition cityPosition = new BasicGeoposition() { Latitude = 47.604, Longitude = -122.329 };
         var cityCenter = new Geopoint(cityPosition);

         await(sender as MapControl).TrySetViewAsync(cityCenter, 12);
     }
 }

Can you send me the code for all the functions shown in screenshot layed out properly like before for my google earth like app with search bar

Hi Luke,

The code is here MapControl sample, you can download it.

Can you put the app together for me.
