Question

I am very curious, I have for example a app to localize our property, our first, second house, favorite park and we can add pushpins to corners of this property in a way to form a shape(triangle, square, polygon etc), not a line or point.
How to create this shape, there is a method to calculate the surface area? Change a background for example to color yellow between these pushpins ?
When we created a shape we can chose from the listbox or map to delete this shape or go to there using GPS, i wrote something like that in Simulate my current position

I think its a interesting app but i need your help 😉

Answer 1

Try getting the geocoordinates of each pushpin and using maths? I guess you could assume the flatness of the Earth over a small area (like a house) but over larger you’ll need to account for curvature.

As for colouring the shapes in, I don’t think there’s a way to do this using the Map control.
