This article describes how to display individual markers in a corresponding location at high zoom level. While zooming out, the individual markers are combined to form a single group and displayed as a single marker. Solution You can group the marker of imagery layer based on its zoom level by subscribing the ZoomLevelChanging event of the imagery layer and dynamically changing the markers based on the current zoom level. Step 1: Initialize the CustomMarker class as demonstrated in the following code sample.
/// <summary>
/// The custom marker
/// </summary>
public class CustomMarker : MapMarker
{
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the image source
/// </summary>
public ImageSource ImageName { get; set; }
}
Step 2: Initialize the SfMaps control and add the ImageryLayer into the layer collection of the control. Then, subscribe the ZoomLevelChanging event as demonstrated in the following code sample. XAML <maps:SfMaps > <maps:SfMaps.Layers> <maps:ImageryLayer x:Name="imageryLayer" ZoomLevelChanging="ImageryLayer_ZoomLevelChanging"> </maps:ImageryLayer> </maps:SfMaps.Layers> </maps:SfMaps>
C#
/// <summary>
/// This method is called whenever the zoom level changed
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender">The sender</param>
/// <param name="e">The zoom level changing event args</param>
private void ImageryLayer_ZoomLevelChanging(object
sender,ZoomLevelChangingEventArgs e)
{
}
Step 3: Add CustomMarker into the Markers collection of ImageryLayer as demonstrated in the following code sample. C# public MainPage()
{
InitializeComponent();
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "20.766387",
Longitude = "78.750000",
ImageName =
ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.pin.png") });
}
Step 4: Set template to markers added into the collection using the MarkerTemplate property of ImageryLayer as demonstrated in the following code sample. XAML <maps:ImageryLayer.MarkerTemplate>
<OnPlatform x:TypeArguments="DataTemplate">
<On Platform="Android, iOS">
<DataTemplate>
<Grid>
<Image Source="{Binding ImageName}"
HorizontalOptions="Start" VerticalOptions="Center"
HeightRequest="30" WidthRequest="30"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</On>
<On Platform="UWP">
<DataTemplate>
<Grid Padding="-14,-14, 0, 0">
<Image Source="{Binding ImageName}" HorizontalOptions="Start"
VerticalOptions="Center"
HeightRequest="30" WidthRequest="30"/>
</Grid>
</DataTemplate>
</On>
</OnPlatform>
</maps:ImageryLayer.MarkerTemplate>
Step 5: In the ZoomLevelChanging event, based on the CurrentLevel, add the markers and remove from marker collection to achieve marker grouping based on the zoom level. In the following code sample, single marker is maintained for zoom level 3 and below. For zoom level 4 and above, multiple markers are maintained. C#
/// <summary>
/// This method is called whenever the zoom level changes and the markers can be grouped based on your requirement with this event
/// </summary>
/// <param name="sender">The sender</param>
/// <param name="e">The zoom level changing event args</param>
private void ImageryLayer_ZoomLevelChanging(object sender, ZoomLevelChangingEventArgs e)
{
// Marker is added based on the zoom level
if (e.CurrentLevel <= 3)
{
if(imageryLayer.Markers.Count > 1)
{
imageryLayer.Markers.Clear();
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "20.766387", Longitude = "78.750000", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.pin.png") });
}
}
if (e.CurrentLevel >= 4)
{
if (imageryLayer.Markers.Count == 1)
{
imageryLayer.Markers.Clear();
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "12.331952", Longitude = "78.002930", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.one.png") });
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "17.678045", Longitude = "78.793945", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.two.png") });
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "18.346705", Longitude = "73.608398", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.three.png") });
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "21.486297", Longitude = "84.418945", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.four.png") });
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "22.139076", Longitude = "72.905273", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.five.png") });
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "26.463197", Longitude = "81.166992", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.six.png") });
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "26.463197", Longitude = "74.487305", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.seven.png") });
imageryLayer.Markers.Add(new CustomMarker() { Latitude = "28.952879", Longitude = "77.915039", ImageName = ImageSource.FromResource("Grouping_maps.Icons.eight.png") });
}
}
}

Hi I want to ask about changing the setting of Markers like I need the Current Location Marker with blue colour and the other Markers with Red ones, could I achieve that?
