Using TLocationSensor with TMapView in RAD Studio XE8

Author: Alan K26627

During and after my Maps Skill Sprint last week, I received multiple questions on how to use TMapView with RAD Studio XE8. I thought I would create a new demo that showcases the following functionality to help answer those questions.

This demo showcases the following RAD Studio XE8 functionality:

• Using TMapView on iOS and Android. For Android, you will need an API key:
  • http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE8/en/Configuring_Android_Applications_to_Use_Google_Maps for details
• Locating the user’s current location on the map using location services
• Displaying the user’s current location using a custom graphic
• Displaying the longitude and latitude of the user’s location using TLocationSensor
• Creating a screenshot of the current map location
• Sharing the Map screenshot across Facebook, Twitter, Email etc. using the ShareSheet support
