How to read elevation from a MapView UWP?

JessicaHarrell

Hello,

I have an UWP application built around a MapView. I am now looking to add elevation data, but the examples I am finding all show using SceneView. Looking around it appears the javascript API provides an attribute on the map called Ground, is there anything like this for UWP? I would like to avoid switching to SceneView.

Thanks

Hi,

Elevation data can be added to the MapView as a RasterLayer, for more information see Add raster data—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET | ArcGIS for Developers. Your choice may depend on the user requirements for the elevation data once in the MapView (e.g. rendering/visualization, interaction, etc). 

Cheers
