Markers in .NET MAUI Maps (SfMaps)

2 Aug 202324 minutes to read

Markers can be used to denote the locations. It is possible to use the built-in symbols or display a custom control at a specific latitude and longitude on a map.

To learn more about the .NET MAUI Maps markers, you can check the following video.

Adding markers

Shape layer

You can show markers at any position on the map by providing latitude and longitude position to the MapMarker, which is from the Markers collection.

Adding custom markers

You can show custom marker using the MarkerTemplate property of the MapShapeLayer which returns the template to customize markers.

Customizing data templates in marker tooltip

A data template can be used to customize the marker tooltip using MarkerTooltipTemplate property. The following code example shows the usage of DataTemplate.

<ContentPage.Resources>
    <ResourceDictionary>
        <DataTemplate x:Key="MapMarkerTemplate">
            <StackLayout HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand"

                <Image Source="map.png"
                       HeightRequest="30"
                       WidthRequest="30" />
            </StackLayout>

Maps marker tooltip appearance customization

Customizing data templates selector in markers

A data template selector also can be used to customize the appearance of each item with different templates based on specific constraints . You can choose a DataTemplate for each item at runtime based on the value of data-bound property using DataTemplateSelector in MarkerTooltipTemplate property.
