For my next presentation on LC Global, I have a working ISS tracker which uses a browser widget and javascript to display the ISS track and position which is working well.
I would like to also use the new Map widget as an alternative method but the widget always remains empty..no google map when built for Android.

I have :

Code: Select all

set the centerCoordinates of widget "Map" to "55.9533,-3.1883"
         
         set the region of widget "Map" to "55.9533,-3.1883, 10, 10"
         
         local tMarkers, tMarkerData
         put "55.9533,-3.1883" into tMarkerData["coordinates"]
         put "Centre of Edinburgh" into tMarkerData["title"]
         put tMarkerData into tMarkers["Edinburgh"]
         set the markers of widget "Map" to tMarkers
         
         
         -- draw some parallel lines over Scotland
         local tPolylines
         put "55.9533,-3.1883,55.8533,-3.1883" into tPolylines[1]["coordinates"]
         put "255,0,0" into tPolylines[1]["color"]
         put "5" into tPolylines[1]["width"]
         put "54.9533,-3.1883,54.8533,-3.1883" into tPolylines[2]["coordinates"]
         set the polylines of widget "Map" to tPolylines

as per the dictionary entries and added my Google auth 2 key to the Map widget inclusions which I have added manually to the build settings.

Does anyone have a working example or can see a problem with what I'm doing?

Hi Andy, did you get the Map Widget working finally? I just try to follow up all forum posts related to map widget. Best. Oliver

Hi @AndyP you're find a solution to the Map widget?

As far as I am able to determine the addition of polylines onto the map widget still doesn't work.

I can add a marker, centre the map and zoom in but the application that I'm trying to build will import at gpx file and plot the path from that, except it doesn't.

Does anyone have this working in LC 9.6.0?

Is there an alternative?

I think I can do this in the browser widget with Javascript but that isn't anywhere near as elegant as using the map widget would be.

Re-reading the documentation it clearly states that the polylines function only works on Android which make it bloody hard to develop anything useful with this widget.

Web Browser and Javascript it is then.
