Tap and hold on a map to show a magnifier.
Use case
Due to the limited screen size of some mobile devices, it may be difficult to identify individual features on a map where there is a high density of information, or the scale is very small. This can be the case when a mobile device is used for navigation, and the user wishes to magnify a particular area to better identify a road intersection.
How to use the sample
Tap and hold on the map to show a magnifier, then drag across the map to move the magnifier. You can also pan the map while holding the magnifier, by dragging the magnifier to the edge of the map.
How it works
- Create a new
MapView, and set aMapon it. - Enable or diabled the magnifier using
magnifierDisabled(_:)modifier. Enabling this will set the magnifier to be shown on theMapwhen the user performs a long press gesture. Note: The magnifier is enabled by default. - Optionally, use the
magnifierEdgePanningDisabled(_:)modifier to allow the map to be panned automatically when the magnifier gets near the edge of theMap.
