Hi

I have a question regarding the GeoMaps demo which I believe is using components from the latest release.

I notice that you add a "map pin" on the map as an overlay. What I would like to do is add a radar image as a transparent PNG rather than a "map pin". The images I have are a little larger (500x500) and would have to align with the correct bounding lat/lon of the underlying map (one thing I did notice in the demo that the "map pins" don't stay in the correct place when you scroll the map with the mouse).

So I suppose what I need to know is do you think I could align another image to match the projection of the map that you are using in the demo?

I think the projection I'm looking for is Web Mercator which is not the one I see in the demo so would it possible to plug in another mapping web service?

And most importantly can I overlay a transparent image on top of it?

I'm currently doing all this with a static map as the base layer and animating other layers on top of this using ImageEn components.

Bruce.

You could use also layers (which support transparency). About the alignment you should do like in ImageEnView1DrawBackBuffer of the demo, that uses LongitudeToBmpX and LatitudeToBmpY of TIESlippyMap object.

I am not able to experience this problem.
