.Net MAUI - Map marker should stay in center while user is moving the map

Question

I use OpenStreetMap to display a map and there are also some markers shown.

Now I want to give the user the possibility to point to a position on the map:

There should be a red marker in the center of map control.
While the user moves around the map, the red marker should stay in center. We know this from Google Maps.

I should look like screenshot below. How can I achieve this?

Hi Haimo,Regarding “marker should
stay in center when the user moved the map”:You can achieve this behavior by using the
MapTileLayer.CenterChanged event. This event is triggered whenever the center
of the map changes due to user actions such as zooming or panning.In the CenterChanged event handler, you can get the new
center coordinates of the map and update the position of the MapMarker to these
coordinates, ensuring the marker remains fixed at the center of the map, as shown
in the following code snippet:[C#]:

private void
  MapTileLayer_CenterChanged(object sender, Syncfusion.Maui.Maps.CenterChangedEventArgs
  e)
  {
      if (e.Center != null)
      {
          this.mapMarker.Latitude =
  e.Center.Latitude;
          this.mapMarker.Longitude =
  e.Center.Longitude;
      }
  }

This approach will keep the
marker aligned with the center of the map as the user pans or zooms. We have
prepared a sample demonstrating this solution, which is attached for your
