The VisualizationLayer will support using the collection views such as System.Windows.Data.ListCollectionView as its items source.

Add built-in support for elevation, routing and search location services coming from the Azure Maps service. These are the same features as in the BingRestMapProvider, which will be obsolete in 2025.

• Search Location
• Routing
• Truck Routing
• Elevation

When using the UriImageProvider with specified values for the GeoBounds property, the images are not positioned to the specified latitude and longitude. 

This is to better address issues with missing pbf files for certain zoom levels. 
Default behavior - scaling cached map images form lower levels - could result in blurry images.
Wanted behavior - rescale lower zoom level pbf files resulting in higher quality images.

Add an event that allows you to listen for tiles download finished on the provided. The event should fire only after all tiles for the current viewport are downloaded.

Add support for reading JSON files encoded in GeoJSON format.

When NavigationVisibility is set to Collapsed, a circle is left in our latest themes.

Add support for rendering heatmap visualization over the map, based on a set of points and their density.

Add support for digitizing complex wkt geometries.

Include support for adding, moving and deleting vertices.

Add API which allows to manually parse and create MapShapeData objects from the shape file read by the AsyncShapeFileReader (part of VisualizationLayer). This will be useful if you want to modify or replace shapes during their reading. Or if you want to handle errors with invalid shape file geometries.

Currently, you can export the map only when it is added to the visual tree and fully rendered. Add support for an export without adding the map control to the UI. Consider adding a service that does this or something similar.

The behavior can be observed with the following setups:

new WmsTiledProvider("http://4maps.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/osm/wms")

            {
                Layers = "osm",
                Version = "1.3.0",
                Projection = "CRS:84" // WGS84, 1.3.0 Standard compatible
            };

and 

new WmsTiledProvider("http://4maps.geo-solutions.it/geoserver/osm/wms")

            {
                Layers = "osm",
                Version = "1.1.0",
                Projection = "EPSG:4326" // WGS84, 1.1.0 Standard compatible
            };

For example the TickMarkCount property. Modifying it, won't update the fill color of the shapes on the map.

A possible solution:

this.MyColorizer.Colorize(visualizationLayer.Items);
            foreach (var shape in this.visualizationLayer.Items.OfType<MapShapeData>())
            {
                if (shape.IsSelected)
                    shape.UseSelectedFill();
                else if (shape.IsHighlighted) shape.UseHighlightFill();
                else shape.UseRegularFill();
            };

Add an API to load Dark tiles in the provider.

This mode can be achieved by showing tiles from the Carto Dark tile server.

The issue is reproduced mainly, when animated items are brought out of the viewport and then reenter the viewport.  

Here maps has the ability to render map tiles with traffic. They include a freemium tier unlike some of the others.

When you have two providers - BingMapProvider and custom TiledProvider - and the map source of the second provider (the custom one) is changed, the updated provider is drawn under the provider defined before it in the Providers collection (the BingMapProvider).

To work this around you can call the BingMapProvider's SetMapSource() method after the source of the custom provider is changed.

// set the custom provider source
bingMapProvider.SetMapSource(bingMapProvider.SupportedSources[0]);

Currently tiles are downloaded for additional zoom levels except the current one. The tiles are cached and later additional requests for the same tile are avoided. That said, it would be nice to have an option to download only the tiles for the current zoom level or specify a range of zoom levels.

Currently, the bindable wrappers classes like (MapPolygonView, MapPathView, etc.) are missing ZIndex property, in contrast with the map shape data objects (PolygonData, PathData, etc.) which support this. 

The map bindable wrappers should expose a ZIndex property that needs to be synced with the related map shape object

Currently, if you define the provider initially without setting the ApplicationId, and then at a later moment in time (after the provider gets initialized) you set the ApplicationId, the provider doesn't load any picture.
