Another great Silverlight mapping application has just gone live: Summer Cabinet Map 2009. The Summer Cabinet Map has the following features:

1. Zooms to show Scotland as a start point
2. Smooth zooming and panning with more detail seamlessly brought into view
3. Select a location zooms to that location and the pin changes to show more detail, including date and location name
4. When selected each location exposes a panel which offers various information and media

Bob Thomson announces that another mapping application named Summer Cabinet Map 2009 has just gone live.

While the DWQR Map we published earlier in the week was more about the presentation and dissemination of information – pretty much a one way flow - the Summer Cabinet Map is much more about trying to engage with a community and provide an online destination where the distribution of information can become the start point for a conversation with users.

Introduction

With the beta release of Silverlight 3 a lot of new goodies were introduced and one of them was the navigation framework and in the final release additional features were added. It allows us to easily implement navigation between the newly introduced Page controls in a Silverlight application, interacts with the Browser History journal and provides us with Uri mapping. To learn more about these features read on the article.

For this article the demo will be the Mini SilverlightShow application, which I used not a long time ago as a demo to my article about the Telerik's RadPageNavigation control.
