Hi folks this is my first post here. I have been using Visual basic for quite a few years and have created some pretty cool applications. I stuck with Visual Basic 3 for a really long time before going to VB 6, Now I have the new Visual Studio 2005 proffesional edition and I have a new project that is pretty complicated, but I will get though it. Basically I need to be able to have a map of the world that is scalable. I need to be able to scale in as shown below:
Level 1- View of entire world
Level 2- View of the United states or other country
Level 3- 500 mile view
Level 4- 40 mile view
Level 5- 1 mile view
Level 6- 500 feet view
This map should be a topo type map that shows mountains and terrain but it does not have to be in great detail. I don't need to know exact roads but the terrain should be pretty acurate.
This map also has to have the capability of overlaying graphic dots to repersent GPS type modules. It's pretty easy to just plop a BMP or JPEG file on a VB form for a map but making it scalable is a whole new ballgame. I need this map in a standalone application running on a machine that is not connected to the internet.
Any ideas???
