Access and create bookmarks on a map.
Use case
Bookmarks are used for easily storing and accessing saved locations on the map. Bookmarks are of interest in educational apps (e.g. touring historical sites) or more specifically, for a land management company wishing to visually monitor flood levels over time at a particular location. These locations can be saved as bookmarks and revisited easily each time their basemap data has been updated (e.g. working with up to date satellite imagery to monitor water levels).
How to use the sample
The map in the sample comes pre-populated with a set of bookmarks. To access a bookmark and move to that location, tap on a bookmark's name from the list. To add a bookmark, pan and/or zoom to a new location and tap on the "+" button. Enter a unique name for the bookmark and tap "Save", and the bookmark will be added to the list
How it works
- Instantiate a new
Map. - To create a new bookmark and add it to the bookmark list:
- Instantiate a new
Bookmarkobject passing in text (the name of the bookmark) and aViewpointas parameters. - Add the new bookmark to the map with
addBookmark(_:).
- Instantiate a new
Relevant API
