Change the coordinate system of a Canvas in WPF

Question

I\'m writing a mapping app that uses a Canvas for positioning elements. For each element I have to programatically convert element\'s Lat/Long to the canvas\' coordinate, then

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure you can't do that exactly, but it would be pretty trivial to have a method which translated from lat/long to Canvas coordinates.

Point ToCanvas(double lat, double lon) {
  double x = ((lon * myCanvas.ActualWidth) / 360.0) - 180.0;
  double y = ((lat * myCanvas.ActualHeight) / 180.0) - 90.0;
  return new Point(x,y);
}

(Or something along those lines)
