How can I draw a bezier curve polyline on a bing map wpf c#?

Question

Bing maps library for wpf seems not to include any helper to draw a bezier curve. It has MapPolyLine which can be used to draw straight lines between n points. Any solution?

Thanks

Answer 1

Bing Maps does not support curved geometries directly, so instead can approximate the shape of a curved line by creating a polyline containing several small segments.

Alternatively to using geodesic, if you don't care about being spatially accurate you can take your coordinates, convert them to pixel coordinates at zoom level 19 using the code here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb259689.aspx

Then pass the pixel coordinates through a standard Bezier curve algorithm. Take the resulting values and convert them back to locations.
