Hi,

(1) If I have a location, is there a way to get latitude and longitude?
(2) How to implement "Location Sensor" in MapPoint 2004, which shows Latitude/Longitude in a small box?

Thanks for help.

I need to do the same thing.

For estimation of Lat Long

Gilles Kohl's "CalcPos" routine is what you need. It can be found in the following article:

It uses the measure distance functionality and a bit of geometry to calculate a location's coordinates.

As for the show Location Sensor - if you mean the one built into MapPoint I dont think there currently is a method to ShowLocationSensor in the programming language.

Ciao,

Hi,

For the location sensor here is a code snipped from MouseMove event:

Code:

        private void MP_MouseMoveEvent(object sender, AxMapPoint._IMappointCtrlEvents_MouseMoveEvent e)
        {
            AxMapPoint.AxMappointControl mp = (AxMapPoint.AxMappointControl)sender;
            Location Loc = mp.ActiveMap.XYToLocation(e.x, e.y);
            if (Loc != null) {
                double Lat;
                double Lon;
                pos.CalcPos(Loc, out Lat, out Lon);
                statusStripLat.Text = Lat.ToString("F4");   // is 11 meter nauwkeurigheid
                statusStripLon.Text = Lon.ToString("F4");
            }
        }

The pos.CalcPos is same routine as Gilles Kohl's one.
