In a use case, from a canvas application, we want to track live location of the drivers who are doing delivery of various commodities.
Does Map control supports real-time navigation in the canvas application?
Based on my findings and inputs from various places, here is the information:
- The Map control does NOT support real-time navigation inline.
- We can add a deeplink to your devices mapping app. The deeplink format depends on exactly what we want to perform.
- We can make the deeplink show up in a data card associated with a map pin or live elsewhere on the screen. Also, on a button click (onSelect), launch the deeplink.
- Map control supports showing routes as it is built on Azure Maps, so we could do something like recalculating a route from your current location to your destination, but that won’t be the same as the real-time navigation.
