Comment on Drawing geodesic curves using the Bing maps Silverlight control by Andrew

Thanks, Vishal.

Using the Bing API, Location elements can take three parameters : latitude, longitude and elevation, so there’s no reason why you can’t draw 3D curves. However, you would need a 3D viewer to see the difference.

hi,
this is a great post, it helped me understand how to draw curves on a 2d map and the concept behind it.
will it be possible to draw multi elevation curves and lines
for example given two sets of data both consists of length (in miles) and a elevation as a number
would it be possible to draw arc that goes upto to certain curve and then rises / drops to the new elevation? like a glider’s path.

Thank you Andrew! =]

I’ll try to investigate this Kit3D

Leo,
While it would be technically possible to render a scene in DirectX, say, to an off screen bitmap and then pass it back for display in Silverlight via COM, there’s no way to escape the bandwidth problem that I observed in the image processing example.
You are always limited by the time it takes to transfer the data between COM and Silverlight, which I could never reduce to much less than 40ms on my system.

You might be better off investigating something like Kit3D which provides a native Silverlight 3D engine.

Is it possible to do things like 3D rendering using this technique?

Hi Sam,

I’m in the process of updating the sample to the Silverlight 4 RC, it should be done shortly.

Regards,
Andrew.

I would like to see your CUDA application in action but i get an error.. “This application was created for an expired Beta of Silverlight”..
I just got the latest 4. build 4.0.50303.0

And I though I was mad trying to drive from Glasgow to Sheffield in the bad weather. But swimming in Wasswater beats everything. \you should have kept your vest on!!! Good luck Andrew keep making me proud to be your aunt, and jealous that I am too old and sane to join in.
