gmap.net can't see the map

Question

i'm using Gmap.net in Windows Form. I've added references to .dll files than dragged GmapControl to the form and added this code

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{                        
     gmap.MapProvider = GMap.NET.MapProviders.GoogleMapProvider.Instance;
     GMap.NET.GMaps.Instance.Mode = GMap.NET.AccessMode.CacheOnly;
     gmap.SetCurrentPositionByKeywords("Maputo, Mozambique");
}

and when I runn it it just shows me the bright control with the red cross in the middle, and the blue text in the bottom "Google-map...."

anny suggestions how could i fix it?

Answer 1

Set your zoom level and set access mode to cacheAndServer

private void Form1_load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    gMapControl1.MapProvider = GMap.NET.MapProviders.GoogleMapProvider.Instance;
    gMapControl1.DragButton = MouseButtons.Left;
    GMaps.Instance.Mode = GMap.NET.AccessMode.ServerAndCache;
    gMapControl1.Position = new PointLatLng(LATITUDE,LONGITUDE);
    gMapControl1.Zoom = 9;
}

Also to note following on from CodeSlinger's Solution you can also set max and min zoom to the Map:

gMapControl.MaxZoom = 15;
gMapControl.MinZoom = 1;

this tends to set a good format for your map :)

Answer 3

try to change the AccessMode to 'ServerOnly'. I hope to be helpful! Regards.

要解决此问题，应将GMap控件的Min Zoom属性设置为Zero。
