Android Question [SOLVED] Google Maps Track Up

[JMB]

Hi there, having fun with Google Maps and FusedLocationProvider!

Is it possible to make GoogleMaps automatically rotate so that it shows track up (sorry, BEARING up) rather than True North up? I can't see any setting in the designer for that.

Thanks.

Get the bearing in LocationChanged event, pass it to the activity with CallSub and change the map bearing by setting the CameraPosition property.

Hi.

I've got the location data from the fusedlocation in the main sub, but all the camera properties appear to be read only.

from the fusedlocation

are you sure a fusedlocation has an Bearing?

but all the camera properties appear to be read only

You need to create a new CameraPosition

    Dim cp As CameraPosition
    cp.Initialize2(pos1.Latitude,pos1.Longitude,gmap.CameraPosition.Zoom,bearing, tilt)' bering and tilt must be get from GPS Position i guess...
    gmap.AnimateCamera(cp)

Thanks Manfred.

The location variable is a standard Location type rather than a FusedLocation one.

I hadn't spotted the Initialize2 method. That works a treat passing the bearing and lat and lon in.

Thank you!
