                customMap.MoveToRegion(MapSpan.FromCenterAndRadius(new Position(37.79752, -122.40183), 
                Distance.FromMiles(1.0)));
            }
        }
    }

What is the error? Is it a compile error or a runtime exception? Please provide the specific error or exception message — Jason
Hi, you could share the screenshot of project's structure, then I will check the path of CustomMap. — Junior Jiang
