            <dxm:FixedMiniMapBehavior ZoomLevel="3">
                <dxm:FixedMiniMapBehavior.CenterPoint>
                    <dxm:GeoPoint Longitude="146" Latitude="-38"/>
                </dxm:FixedMiniMapBehavior.CenterPoint>
            </dxm:FixedMiniMapBehavior>
        </dxm:MiniMap.Behavior>
        <dxm:MiniMapImageTilesLayer>
            <dxm:BingMapDataProvider BingKey="{Binding Source={StaticResource bingKey}}"/>
        </dxm:MiniMapImageTilesLayer>
        <dxm:MiniMapVectorLayer ShapeFill="Red">
