<Position>: geoPosition variable or character string

Description of the location on which the map will be centered. This description can correspond to:
the name of the geoPosition variable describing the geographical position on which the map will be centered.
a character string containing an address, a city, the name of a monument, ...
an Address variable.

<WLanguage procedure>: Optional procedure name

Name of the WLanguage procedure ("callback" procedure) called once the new geographical position is displayed. This procedure has the following format:

where <Change performed> is a boolean:
True if the position was modified,
False otherwise.

Remarks

The zoom level of the map is not modified when changing position.

To find out the position currently displayed in the center of the Map control, use MapGetPosition.
