How to display my location on Google Maps Nativescript

Question

I'm using this plugin in my project.

I want to show my location in map. In document I read in

**UI Settings**
myLocationButtonEnabled boolean - Whether the my-location button is enabled/disabled

How to apply this in code?

I try also to write this code:

  onMapReady(event) {
    this.mapView = event.object;
          var marker = new Marker();
          marker.position = Position.positionFromLatLng(-33.86, 151.20);
          marker.userData = { index: 1 };
          this.mapView.addMarker(marker);
          this.mapView.myLocationEnabled= true;   
  }

This this.mapView.myLocationEnabled= true; doesn't function.

Can you suggest me any idea how to display my location please?

Answer 1

It's already described in the ReadMe file,

You can adjust the Map UI settings after mapReady by changing the below properties on mapView.settings

myLocationButtonEnabled boolean - Whether the my-location button is enabled/disabled

The code should be,

this.mapView.settings.myLocationButtonEnabled = true;

Make sure you acquire location permissions before enabling the location button as showcased in the demo app.
