How to change the marker icon when selecting a marker in the .NET MAUI Maps?

In the Syncfusion .NET MAUI Maps control, you can change the marker icon on its selection using the MapTileLayer.MarkerSelected event, through the following steps.

Step 1: Add the SfMaps control to your layout and and set the URL to the UrlTemplate property of the MapTileLayer as shown in the following code sample.

XAML:

<map:SfMaps>
   <map:SfMaps.Layer>
   	<map:MapTileLayer x:Name="tileLayer"
   	                  UrlTemplate="https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png">
   	</map:MapTileLayer>
   </map:SfMaps.Layer>
</map:SfMaps> 

Step 2: Add Markers to the MapTileLayer as shown in the following code sample.

XAML:

<map:MapTileLayer.Markers>
   <map:MapMarkerCollection>
   	<map:MapMarker IconType="Diamond"
                       IconFill="Red"
                       IconWidth="13"
                       IconHeight="13"
                       Latitude="40"
                       Longitude="-101" />
   	<map:MapMarker IconType="Diamond"
                       IconFill="Red"
                       IconWidth="13"
                       IconHeight="13"
                       Latitude="-15.7833"
                       Longitude="-52" />
   	<map:MapMarker IconType="Diamond"
                       IconFill="Red"
                       IconWidth="13"
                       IconHeight="13"
                       Latitude="-1.6"
                       Longitude="24.4" />
   	<map:MapMarker IconType="Diamond"
                       IconFill="Red"
                       IconWidth="13"
                       IconHeight="13"
                       Latitude="49.9"
                       Longitude="72.23" />
   	<map:MapMarker IconType="Diamond"
   	               IconFill="Red"
   	               IconWidth="13"
   	               IconHeight="13"
   	               Latitude="-20.54"
   	               Longitude="134.10" />
   </map:MapMarkerCollection>
</map:MapTileLayer.Markers> 

Step 3: Using the MarkerSelected event, change the SelectedMarker’s IconType and IconFill as shown in the following code sample.

XAML:

<map:MapTileLayer x:Name="tileLayer"
                  UrlTemplate="https://tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png"
                  MarkerSelected="MapTileLayer_MarkerSelected">
</map:MapTileLayer> 

C#:

private void MapTileLayer_MarkerSelected(object sender, Syncfusion.Maui.Maps.MarkerSelectedEventArgs e)
{
   e.SelectedMarker.IconType = Syncfusion.Maui.Maps.MapIconType.Triangle;
   e.SelectedMarker.IconFill = Colors.Blue;
}
