Use case

Setting the initial viewpoint is useful when a user wishes to first load the map at a particular area of interest.

How to use the sample

When the sample loads, note that the map view opens at the initial viewpoint defined on the map.

How it works

  1. Instantiate a Map object.
  2. Instantiate a Viewpoint object using an Envelope object.
  3. Set the starting location of the map with map.InitialViewpoint.
  4. Set the map in the MapView.
