MapDeviceLocationService Class

The Map Device Location Service will interact with the active map using the current open device location source, such as a GPS/GNSS device.

Object Model

Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public class MapDeviceLocationService : IMapDeviceLocationService

Public Class MapDeviceLocationService 
   Implements IMapDeviceLocationService

Remarks

The MapDeviceLocationService is a singleton. To access the service use its Instance property. Once connected, the service allows you to zoom or pan to the current location received from your device. Use the service to show/hide the location, adjust the accuracy buffer on the map, interactively Zoom or pan the current map view, and adjust how the map view responds to the current device location. The map view can either be kept centered on the location or rotated to "track" the location always keeping the location heading orientated to the top of the screen. Refer to SetDeviceLocationOptions

To connect to a location device refer to ArcGIS.Desktop.Core.DeviceLocation.DeviceLocationService.Open

Example

var currentOptions = MapDeviceLocationService.Instance.GetDeviceLocationOptions();
if (currentOptions == null)
  return;
            
currentOptions.DeviceLocationVisibility = true;
currentOptions.NavigationMode = MappingDeviceLocationNavigationMode.KeepAtCenter;
            
await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  MapDeviceLocationService.Instance.SetDeviceLocationOptions(currentOptions);
});

await QueuedTask.Run(() =>
{
  MapDeviceLocationService.Instance.ZoomOrPanToCurrentLocation(true);
});
