Similar to the [[Map_View|map view on our other {{UBIK}} clients]], the Xamarin version displays Points of Interest (POI's) and other objects with Geo information on world maps.

= Base Map =
A world map is always displayed as the base layer of the map view. Depending on the "Map Type" setting (in the "AR" tab/category), different maps are used.
* Road: from Open Street map;
* Satellite: from Microsoft Bing map.

</gallery>

Some basic UI options commonly seen in map applications are available as well. For example, an indicator for the current device position, buttons to center around the current position, etc.

= UBIK Map Content =
On the base map, {{UBIK}} can display different kinds of content with Geo information.

== Geo POI's ==
For each object carrying [[SYSCLS_GEO|Geo coordinates]], {{UBIK}} displays a map pin on the map accordingly. The object's icon (if any) is also included in the map pin.

Like in the [[POI_View_(Xamarin)|POI view]], you can select or deselect POI's. The options available on selected POI's are described in section [[POI_View_(Xamarin)#Interact_with_POI.27s|"Interact with POI's"]].

== Map Overlays ==
[[File:UI_Xamarin_Map_Overlay.png|thumb|alt=Map Overlay|Map Overlay]]
Sometimes more detailed maps are needed for specific and smaller regions, e.g. a factory. Map overlays are such image based maps that are displayed on top of the base map. The placement of an overlay is determined by [[SYSCLS_MAPOVERLAY|certain configurations on the overlay object]].

Here's an article on how to [[HowTo:Create_Image_Map_Overlays]].

== Map Shapes ==
[[File:UI_Xamarin_Map_Shape.png|thumb|alt=Map Shape|Map Shape]]
Map shapes can be considered as map overlays defined in a different data format.
* Like map overlays, they are displayed on top of the base map;
* Unlike map overlays, their display content as well as placements on the map are defined in [https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Shapefiles shapefiles]. Details can be found [[SYSCLS_MAPSHAPE|here]].

{{Clear}}

== Group, Building & Level ==
The way Geo POI's can be grouped and displayed accordingly in the map view is exactly the same as in the [[POI_View_(Xamarin)#Group.2C_Building_.26_Level|POI view]]. In addition, other types of map content like map overlays & shapes can also belong to groups, buildings or levels. The displaying of them follows the same rules.
