Xamarin.forms.googlemaps: Decouple 'IsShowingUser' from displaying the Location Button

[woellij]

FEATURE REQUEST

SUMMARY

I'd vote for decoupling showing the 'LocationButton' from the 'IsShowingUser' property and instead introduce another Property for that. (e.g. 'IsShowingUserPositionButton')

DETAILS

In iOS Renderer:

void UpdateIsShowingUser()
{
((MapView)Control).MyLocationEnabled = ((Map)Element).IsShowingUser;
((MapView)Control).Settings.MyLocationButton = ((Map)Element).IsShowingUser;
}

In my use case I very much want to show the user's location on the map - but NOT the button (i have my own Button for that properly handling requesting permission at the right time etc.)

PLATFORMS

which platform do you want?

• [x] Android
• [x] iOS
• [ ] UWP

Hi @woellij ,
Thanks for your requesting.

I have a plan to #8 which has separated each settings.

Your suggestion IsShowingUserPositionButton is same as UiSetting.isMyLocationButtonEnabled.
But I should make Map.MyLocationEnabled which can only enable/disable the "blue marker" shown.

I released Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps 2.1.0-beta2 that contains #8 .

You can use separated twice properties.

• map.UiSettings.MyLocationButtonEnabled - location button
• map.MyLocationEnabled - tracking location

Don`t working.
map.MyLocationEnabled = true - the "blue marker" disable
