How to tell if an objects location is visible?

Hi,

Does anyone know of a way to tell if an objects location is in the visible area of the map?

I can find the location of a PushPin so:-

Set objPin = objMap.FindPushpin(strPinName)
Set objLoc = objPin.Location

Now I want to know if that location is visible.

Thanks,

Chris

I don't think there is anything that does this, maybe if you just store wherever your map is centered on as a pushpin location and then do use the QueryCircle with the something like half the Altitude as your radius

That would probably get you close, far from perfect though.

This link tells you how to check the radius and altitude values against what is actually on screen, might help out some
