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