Asked On June 16, 2019 10:24 PM UTC

Hi,
I need to display a list of markers on an SfMaps control, with the markers defined in a List - i.e. have an ItemsSource for the Layer.

However, it seems that ItemsSource is only available for a ShapeFileLayer.

How can I have a List of items displayed on an ImageryLayer? I need to create a custom Marker with bound properties - the attributes of the marker being bound to the Item's properties (to display wind speed and direction at the location).

Regards,

James

Hi James, 
 
Greetings from Syncfusion. ShapeFileLayers’s ItemsSource property is used to bound the data to the shape file. You can add the custom marker in a Markers collection and bind the properties using MarkerTemplate as like the below code snippet. 
 
[XAML]: 
 
<maps:ImageryLayer Markers="{Binding CustomMarkers}"> 
                
                <maps:ImageryLayer.MarkerTemplate> 
                    <DataTemplate> 
                        <StackLayout Orientation="Horizontal"> 
                        <Image Source="{Binding ImageName}" Scale="1"  
                               Aspect="AspectFit " HorizontalOptions="StartAndExpand" VerticalOptions="Center"  
                               HeightRequest="15" WidthRequest="23" /> 
                        <Label Text="{Binding Label}"/> 
                        </StackLayout> 
                    </DataTemplate> 
                </maps:ImageryLayer.MarkerTemplate> 
                 
</maps:ImageryLayer> 
 
 
Please find the sample for your reference. 
 
 
Refer the following help document link for to know more about Markers. 
 
Regards, 
Bharathi.
