DisplayDeviceLocation

Display device location with autopan modes

Display your current position on the map, as well as switch between different types of auto pan modes.

Use case

When using a map within a GIS, it may be helpful for a user to know their own location within a map, whether that's to aid the user's navigation or to provide an easy means of identifying/collecting geospatial information at their location.

How to use the sample

Select an autopan mode, then use the button to start and stop location display.

How it works

1. Create a MapView.
2. Set the LocationDisplay.AutoPanMode that corresponds with the selected element of the combo box.
3. Set the LocationDisplay.IsEnabled bool from the MapView to true.
4. Set the LocationDisplay.IsEnabled bool from the MapView to false when the stop button is pressed.
