Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Maps Namespace

Defines classes for the Map control. Also defines tile sources and elements that can be placed on a map.

Classes

Remarks

Important

Bing Maps for Enterprise service retirement

The UWP MapControl and map services from the Windows.Services.Maps namespaces rely on Bing Maps. Bing Maps for Enterprise is deprecated and will be retired, at which point the MapControl and services will no longer receive data.

For more information, see the Bing Maps Developer Center and Bing Maps documentation.
