public MapViewRepresentations GetBestMapView
  ( Location[] locations ,  System.String dataSourceName );

  • locations
    An array of locations (Location[] objects) from which the Entity, BestMapView, or LatLong property is used to generate a best map view. Valid array size is 1 through 500.
  • dataSourceName
    A string representing the name of the data source (DataSource.Name property) for the locations. String.

Dim myLocations(1) As Location
myLocations(0) = New Location()
myLocations(1) = New Location()
myLocations(0).LatLong = New LatLong()
myLocations(1).LatLong = New LatLong()
myLocations(0).LatLong.Latitude = 40
myLocations(0).LatLong.Longitude = -120
myLocations(1).LatLong.Latitude = 41
myLocations(1).LatLong.Longitude = -121

Dim renderService As New RenderServiceSoap()
Dim mapRepresentations As MapViewRepresentations
mapRepresentations = renderService.GetBestMapView(myLocations, "MapPoint.NA")



[C#]

//Get the best view of two locations
Location[] myLocations = new Location[2];
myLocations[0] = new Location();
myLocations[1] = new Location();
myLocations[0].LatLong = new LatLong();
myLocations[1].LatLong = new LatLong();
myLocations[0].LatLong.Latitude = 40;
myLocations[0].LatLong.Longitude = -120;
myLocations[1].LatLong.Latitude = 41;
myLocations[1].LatLong.Longitude = -121;

RenderServiceSoap renderService  = new RenderServiceSoap();
MapViewRepresentations mapRepresentations;
mapRepresentations = renderService.GetBestMapView(myLocations, "MapPoint.NA");
