Custom MapMarkers not working on ImageryLayer

[Michael Pusch]

Hallo Syncfusion Team,

Please check the attached solution. It seems there are two bugs that I can't resolve.

First it seems impossible to use custom MapMarkers on an ImageryLayer. Is this true or did I do something wrong?

Second, as you can see in the screenshots, the custom MapMarkers on ShapeFileLayer work under specific conditions only. The screenshots are in folder SfMapTest\SfMapTest\Results.

Help to use custom MapMarkers on ImageryLayer would be appreciated. Are any references missing?

Best regards

Michael

Hi Michael,

thank you for your quick reply and the provided sample.

However, I would that not call custom markers. While the layout is customized, the databinding is on the base MapMarker. And when I try to bind on a derived type, even on a bindable property that fails. Or on a image that is different for each pin.

It would be great if that worked. It is working on Xamarin.Forms.Maps, but they don't provide OSM.

Best regards,

Michael
