According to this page from Microsoft’s documentation, it’s possible to set the heading of a Bing map as well as the coordinate around which it’s centered and a zoom level using the method call setView(GeoCoordinate, double, double) but in practice, only the first two parameters are paid attention to and when I check the value of myMap.Heading it’s still 0. I’ve also tried directly changing the heading (myMap.Heading=270;) and the same thing happens. Can anyone offer some assistance?
Note: Heading is supposed to be in degrees starting at 0 for north and increasing clockwise. (Source)
I found an old topic about this, but it was posted in 2011, apparently before this was implemented in WP (unless it still isn’t but the documentation would suggest otherwise).
Thanks!
The Heading property is only functional in Birdseye (i.e. oblique) view, in order to specify whether you want a North, East, South, or West aspect.
