Map View

The Map View allows you to display an interactive map in your iOS app. You can define the position and the map type. Of course it is also possible to add a marker (annotation) to the map.

Properties

To show the properties of the Map View, click the Properties tab (the slider icon) in the upper right sidebar.

• Name
  Here you give the element a name. This name is only used within appdoo. For example, you can quickly see in the outline where each Map View is located. You can also edit the name by double-clicking on the Map View in the outline. We recommend that you assign unique names when working with Layout Constraints and Data Links.

• Type
  Here you can define the map type for the display. You can choose between the following options:

  • Map
    A street map that shows the position of all roads and some road names.

  • Satellite
    Satellite imagery of the area.

  • Hybrid
    A satellite image of the area with road and road name information layered on top.

• Position
  Here you can specify whether a certain address (Search) or geocoordinates (Coordinates) are to be used for the display.

  • Search
    If you have selected this option, you can enter the address to be displayed on the map in the text box that appear.

  • Coordinates
    If you have selected this option, you can enter the geocoordinates (latitude, longitude) in the fields that appear.

• Width
  Specify here how many meters around the point you are looking for should be displayed on the map.

Annotation

• Title
  Enter the title that is to be displayed at the annotation.

• Subtitle
  Enter the subtitle that is to be displayed at the annotation. This is displayed below the title.

The map with the annotation looks like this inside the iOS app:

Advanced

• Hidden

  If you activate the “Hidden” checkbox, your Map View will still be present on your work space, but will not be displayed. This can be useful, for example, if you only want to display the Map View under certain circumstances. You can control this via the “Hidden” field in the “Data Links” area.

Data Links
