Convert (Longitude, Latitude) to (X, Y) on a map

 // Get the latitude as a value between 0 and 180,
// where the negative values represent values South of the Equator
            double latitude = lat + 90.0;
// Get the longitude as a value between 0 and 360,
// where the negative values represent values West of the Greenwich Meridian.
            double longitude = lon + 180.0;


// calculate how many pixels are needed to represent each degree for width and height
            double pixelsWidth = map.Width/360.0;
            double pixelsHeight = map.Height/180.0;


// Calculate how many pixels we need to represent our latitude value
            double latitudePixels = latitude * pixelsHeight;
// Calculate how many pixels we need to represent our longitude value
            double longitudePixels = longitude * pixelsWidth;


// The X coordinate of our point is the longitudePixels value
            float x = (float)longitudePixels;
// The Y coordinate of our point is 180-latitude
// since the Y axis is facing down but the map is facing up
            float y = (float) ((180.0 * pixelsHeight) – latitudePixels);
