autoPanMode

Defines how the MapView reacts when location updates are received. The different auto-pan modes are suited for different types of app, including modes designed for navigation on foot and in a vehicle. They affect the symbols used to display device location, the initial zooming behavior, and the panning behavior of the MapView.

The auto-pan modes include:

• Recenter - the map view attempts to keep the location symbol on-screen by re-centering the location symbol when the symbol moves outside an extent defined by the LocationDisplay.wanderExtentFactor.

• Navigation - the location symbol is pinned to a point on the screen and always points toward the top edge of the device. The map pans and rotates based on location updates and the direction of travel.

• Compass navigation - the location symbol is pinned to a point on the screen and always points toward the top edge of the device. The map rotates based on the user's bearing relative to magnetic north.

• Off - the map only updates the position of the location symbol on the map.

To start the LocationDisplay in a specific mode, call this method before you start the LocationDataSource.

Any default zooming behavior (besides scrolling) or any operation that modifies the Viewpoint will automatically set the auto-pan mode to LocationDisplayAutoPanMode.Off.

The default auto-pan mode is LocationDisplayAutoPanMode.Off.
