Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm a beginner to windows phone 8.1 development. I am using MapControl to display my current location on the map but as I move my position does not get updated automatically in realtime unless I click on a button and re-initialize the position of the pushpin which was earlier created. Is there a better way where this happens in the without the user having to push the button everytime he wants to see his current location.
private async Task setMyLocation()
{
try
{
var gl = new Geolocator() { DesiredAccuracy = PositionAccuracy.High };
Geoposition location = await gl.GetGeopositionAsync(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(5));
var pin = new MapIcon()
{
Location = location.Coordinate.Point,
Title = "You are here",
NormalizedAnchorPoint = new Point() { X = 0, Y = 0 },
};
myMapView.MapElements.Add(pin);
await myMapView.TrySetViewAsync(location.Coordinate.Point, 20);
}
catch
{
myMapView.Center = new Geopoint(App.centerPin);
myMapView.ZoomLevel = 20;
Debug.WriteLine("GPS NOT FOUND");
}
App.centerPin = myMapView.Center.Position;
}
Thanks in Advance!
