In the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Maps control, visualize the shp file through the following steps.

Step 1: Add the required shp and dbf files in your project’s root folder or subfolder, right-click on the added files, select Properties, and select the EmbeddedResource option under Build Action.

Step 2: Add the SfMaps control in your layout and initialize the MapShapeLayer as shown in the following code sample.

XAML:

<map:SfMaps>
   <map:SfMaps.Layer>
   	<map:MapShapeLayer x:Name="layer" />
   </map:SfMaps.Layer>
</map:SfMaps> 

Step 3: Set the added shape file to the ShapesSource property of the MapShapeLayer as shown in the following code sample.

C#:

this.layer.ShapesSource = MapSource.FromResource("VisualizeSHPFiles.australia.shp"); 

Step 4: Use the ShapeStroke property of the MapShapeLayer to specify the border in the added shape.

XAML:

<map:SfMaps.Layer>
   <map:MapShapeLayer x:Name="layer"
   		     ShapeStroke="DarkGray"/>
</map:SfMaps.Layer>

Output:
