Maps SDK for AndroidFollow the chevron
Follow the chevron
Allow your users to follow their changing positions on the map e.g. when driving. When a new
location is set, the animation moves the chevron to the new position.
Sample use case 1: You want to show your user position when driving.
Custom chevron indicator
You can set a custom icon for the chevron indicator.
To create custom chevron:
_
ChevronBuilder chevronBuilder = ChevronBuilder.create(activeIcon, inactiveIcon);
chevron = tomtomMap.getDrivingSettings().addChevron(chevronBuilder);val chevronBuilder = ChevronBuilder.create(activeIcon, inactiveIcon)
chevron = tomtomMap.drivingSettings.addChevron(chevronBuilder)Chevron tracking mode
Additionally, it is possible to track the chevron. It means that the camera/map and the chevron
move when a new location is received so that the map is always centered on the chevron with
the bearing of the drive. In the tracking mode, rotate and pan gestures are blocked.
The user can change only zoom level, while the map camera is automatically adjusted
to follow the chevron.
To start tracking selected chevron:
_
tomtomMap.getDrivingSettings().startTracking(getChevron());tomtomMap.drivingSettings.startTracking(chevron)To stop tracking selected chevron:
_
tomtomMap.getDrivingSettings().stopTracking();tomtomMap.drivingSettings.stopTracking()
