Is it possible to make GoogleMaps automatically rotate so that it shows track up (sorry, BEARING up) rather than True North up? I can't see any setting in the designer for that. Thanks. JMB

JMB said: but all the camera properties appear to be read only Click to expand... You need to create a new CameraPosition Code: Copy Dim cp As CameraPosition cp.Initialize2(pos1.Latitude,pos1.Longitude,gmap.CameraPosition.Zoom,bearing, tilt)' bering and tilt must be get from GPS Position i guess... gmap.AnimateCamera(cp) Upvote 0
