Map get current location

Miki93

Hi,first than nothing, I dont speak English very much, so sorry for that.

I'm new in Xamarin, and I'm trying create a Project Xamarin Form and I'm having problems with the Map in my project. I have a component Map but I would like when my app start, the map be in the current position of device. I have severals days but nothing. I tryed this:

    private async Task Button_ClickedAsync(object sender, EventArgs e){
        var locator = CrossGeolocator.Current;
        locator.DesiredAccuracy = 50;

        var location = await locator.GetPositionAsync(TimeSpan.FromTicks(10000));
        Position position = new Position(location.Latitude, location.Longitude);

        MyMap.MoveToRegion(MapSpan.FromCenterAndRadius(position, Distance.FromMiles(3)));

}

Please help me

If my memory serves there is a Map.SetCenter method you can call - providing your current GPS location.
That will move the map to your current location.

Sorry about that. The HERE map component has .SetCenter and SetZoomLevel. The Google Map web API has .SetCenter but the Xamarin map component doesn't have that command. Sorry - after a while all the different map API tend to blur together in my head.

in that example is not used the "Geolocator" to localize the current position, but have things very interesting. very thanks.

how to get latitude and longitude in xamarin forms for all platforms i use
var locator = CrossGeolocator.Current;
locator.DesiredAccuracy = 50;

            var position = await locator.GetPositionAsync(timeoutMilliseconds:1000);
            decimal latitude = Convert.ToDecimal(position.Latitude);
            decimal longitude = Convert.ToDecimal(position.Longitude);
            App.latitude = latitude;
            App.longitude = longitude;

but i got error in "timeoutMilliseconds:1000" it not acceptable in GetPositionAsync method.

Add this Nuget Package manager, It's completely free

    private async void OnButtonClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)  
            {  
                var locator = CrossGeolocator.Current;  

            locator.DesiredAccuracy = 50;  

                var position = await locator.GetPositionAsync(timeoutMilliseconds:10000);  

                LogitudeLabel.Text = position.Longitude.ToString();  

                LatitudeLabel.Text = position.Latitude.ToString();  

            }  

Now, we need to add location permission to our projects
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
