CoClasses that implement IBasicMap

Remarks

IBasicMap is a subset of IMap that provides support for ArcScene and ArcGlobe. The Map (2D), Scene (3D), and Globe (3D) coclasses implement this interface. Components used by ArcMap, ArcScene, and ArcGlobe, (such as the IdentifyDialog) utilize IBasicMap rather than IMap.
