How to drag and drop a marker in the .NET MAUI Maps (SfMaps)?
In the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Maps control, drag and drop a marker in the SfMaps through the following steps.
Step 1: Add the SfMaps control to your layout, initialize the MapTileLayer to render the tiles returned from the Web Map Tile Services, and set the URL to the UrlTemplate property as shown in the following code sample.
XAML:
<map:SfMaps>
<map:SfMaps.Layer>
<map:MapTileLayer x:Name="layer"
UrlTemplate="https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png">
</map:MapTileLayer>
</map:SfMaps.Layer>
</map:SfMaps>
Step 2: Add the MapMarker to the MapTileLayer’s MapMarkerCollection as shown in the following code sample.
XAML:
<map:MapTileLayer.Markers> <map:MapMarkerCollection> <map:MapMarker Latitude="28.7041" Longitude="77.1025" IconWidth="15" IconHeight="15"/> <map:MapMarker Latitude="13.239945" Longitude="19.391806" IconWidth="15" IconHeight="15"/> </map:MapMarkerCollection> </map:MapTileLayer.Markers>
Step 3: In the MapTileLayer.Panning event, set the EnablePanning property of the MapZoomPanBehavior to False. Get the corresponding touch position and pass it to the GetLatLngFromPoint() method to convert the pixel point to Latitude and Longitude value. Set the converted value to the selected Marker’s Latitude and Longitude properties. The following code sample explains how to implement this step.
C#:
private void Layer_Panning(object sender, PanningEventArgs e)
{
var position = layer.GetLatLngFromPoint(e.Position);
if (layer.ZoomPanBehavior == null)
{
layer.ZoomPanBehavior = new MapZoomPanBehavior()
{
EnablePanning = false
};
}
foreach (var marker in layer.Markers)
{
var halfWidth = marker.IconWidth / 2;
var halfHeight = marker.IconHeight / 2;
if (position.Latitude > (marker.Latitude - (halfWidth / layer.ZoomPanBehavior.ZoomLevel)) &&
position.Longitude > (marker.Longitude - (halfHeight / layer.ZoomPanBehavior.ZoomLevel)) &&
position.Latitude < (marker.Latitude + (halfWidth / layer.ZoomPanBehavior.ZoomLevel)) &&
position.Longitude < (marker.Longitude + (halfHeight / layer.ZoomPanBehavior.ZoomLevel)))
{
marker.Latitude = position.Latitude;
marker.Longitude = position.Longitude;
break;
}
}
}
Output:
