showMyLocation property

bool? showMyLocation
final

showMyLocation determines whether or not the current device location should be displayed on the map. It will default to false if not specified.

Enabling this feature requires adding location permissions to both native platforms of your app.

  • On Android add either <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" /> or <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" /> to your AndroidManifest.xml file. ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION returns a location with an accuracy approximately equivalent to a city block, while ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION returns as precise a location as possible, although it consumes more battery power. You will also need to request these permissions during run-time. If they are not granted, feature will fail silently.

  • On iOS add a NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key to your Info.plist file. This will automatically prompt the user for permissions when the map is loaded.
