How about an interim fix? Are we able to detect client side if the tiles aren't 
available past a certain zoom level, so we can lock the zoom?

i.e. zoom factor 17 has tiles, they then try to zoom to 18. There aren't any 
tiles, so we manually set the zoom level back to 17?

Subject: RE: Bing map control - Still showing data when you zoom in too far

It’s a known issue David, we’re solving this currently on the server side. For 
performance in our pilot intranet application we put a tilehandler between the 
application and the real tiles, we’re caching tiles in SQL2008. From here it 
wasn’t too hard to detect no-image tiles then recursively fetch the tile above, 
resize and crop (and then cache as well).

My understanding is that a fix will be provided for the final release but it 
will rely on knowing where the imagery is in advance. Typically this is not 
compatible with your custom imagery overlays so it will be interesting to see 
the solution in the coming months.

John.

Subject: Bing map control - Still showing data when you zoom in too far

One issue i have with the bing map control, is that when you zoom in past the 
level where there is data, you get the "no image" icon everywhere.
Is there any way to keep the last real data, but still zoom in. Sure it would 
be pixelated, but that is preferable over showing nothing
