GMap.Net .ToImage() Function Outputting Images With Blank Tiles

The .ToImage() function in GMap.Net does not appear to wait for the map data to be downloaded before the screenshot is taken. This results in images with blank tiles. Is there any existing capability that would allow GMaps to wait until the map is loaded?



I already posted my question on GitHub but haven't gotten a response so far. So any help is appreciated.



VB.NET Code



Private Function TakeBitmapScreenShot() As Image
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'Code to wait until all tiles have loaded
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
Return GMapControl.ToImage()
End Function

          Two of the ways around this are using the TilePrefetcher or even better this code.

            GMapControl1.OnTileLoadComplete += GMapControl1_OnTileLoadComplete;

            private void GMapControl1_OnTileLoadComplete(long ElapsedMilliseconds)

            GMapControl.ToImage();

                    private void GMapControl1_OnTileLoadComplete(long ElapsedMilliseconds)

                    GMapControl.ToImage();
