Show a callout with the latitude and longitude of user-tapped points.

Use case

Callouts are used to display temporary detail content on a map. You can display text and arbitrary UI controls in callouts.

How to use the sample

Tap anywhere on the map. A callout showing the WGS84 coordinates for the tapped point will appear.

How it works

  1. Listen for mouseClicked signal on the map view.
  2. When the user taps, get the tapped location using the mouseEvent x and y coordinates, MapQuickView.screenToLocation(mouse.x, mouse.y).
  3. Create a string to display the coordinates; note that latitude and longitude in WGS84 map to the Y and X coordinates.
  4. Create a new callout definition using a title and the coordinate string.
  5. Display the callout by setting thelocation property of the CalloutData and calling showCallout.
