#Windows10 – Rotating maps with C# and #SurfaceDial in UWP Apps

Hello!

In order to talk a little about how to create advanced menus for the Surface Dial, I will resume my view with a map and add an extra feature to this view:

• Use the Surface Dial spin to control the map zoom
• Use the Surface Dial spin to rotate the current view on the map

The first example I mentioned in the previous post, today I will show the 2nd functionality.

The code to make this work is very simple. It is based on the following steps

• To provide the 2 features with the Surface Dial, click on the dial, change the mode from Zoom to Rotate and again zoom
• In the RotationChanged () event, the working mode is verified and changes are applied to the map

Very simple.

In the next post, a little about how to work with the menu offered by the Surface Dial.

Happy Coding!
