MapView. Can we remove the location arrow?

Former Member over 5 years ago

I am trying to find a solution. From what I understand MapTrackView centers on the current location. MapView doesn't, but the location arrow is still there. Can we remove that?

Here are some thoughts:

Is it possible to inherit the MapView layers and remove say just the arrow
Can we turn off GPS so that the arrow doesn't show. But wouldn't I be left with the same arrow, just with a question mark over it?
is there a method already in place that toggles the location arrow
can I set the position of the arrow?
Is there a way to override that position that the GPS receiver is reading, thereby moving the arrow someplace else

Both these are native views, and there are things the native views just do that can't be controlled by CIQ. There are things you also can't change in the sim - north up vs track up, track log shown/hide, etc, that you can change on a device.

As soon as you have something to try on a real device, I'd suggest doing that.

I do have a device now.

How would you work around this problem? Any advice. I'm trying to get rid of the arrow or move it

That's all controlled by the native view.

If you have a lat/lon, and use that to create the bonding box for the map, you won't see the location/heading if you're not in the bounding box.
