The MapShape data template does not allow to use event triggers like to the following way: <telerik:MapPath Stroke="{Binding Stroke}" Fill="{Binding Fill}" StrokeThickness="1" Data="{Binding Geometry}"> <interactivity:Interaction.Triggers> <interactivity:EventTrigger EventName="MouseLeftButtonDown"> <interactivity:InvokeCommandAction Command="{Binding MyCommand}"/> </interactivity:EventTrigger> </interactivity:Interaction.Triggers> </telerik:MapPath>
