In This Topic
    NavigationMode Property
    In This Topic
    Gets and sets the current MappingDeviceLocationNavigationMode for the active map view.
    Syntax
    Public Property NavigationMode As MappingDeviceLocationNavigationMode
    public MappingDeviceLocationNavigationMode NavigationMode {get; set;}
    Remarks
    NavigationMode controls the location of the device within the map view.
    Zooming or panning the map interactively cancels the NavigationMode and sets it to MappingDeviceLocationNavigationMode.None
    Example
    Get Current Map Device Location Options
    {
        //Gets the current device location options used by the MapDeviceLocationService
        var options = MapDeviceLocationService.Instance.GetDeviceLocationOptions();
        //Device location visibility on the map
        var visibility = options.DeviceLocationVisibility;
        //MappingDeviceLocationNavigationMode
        var navMode = options.NavigationMode;
        //Heading of the location from the device points to the top of the screen
        var trackUp = options.TrackUpNavigation;
        //Show accuracy buffer on the map
        var showBuffer = options.ShowAccuracyBuffer;
    }
    Set map view to always be centered on the device location
    {
        // Get the MapDeviceLocationOptions currently used by the MapDeviceLocationService
    
        var currentOptions = MapDeviceLocationService.Instance.GetDeviceLocationOptions();
        if (currentOptions == null)
            return;
        // Set the device location visibility on the map to true
        currentOptions.DeviceLocationVisibility = true;
        //Set the navigation mode to keep the device location at the center of the map
        currentOptions.NavigationMode = MappingDeviceLocationNavigationMode.KeepAtCenter;
        //Note: Run within a QueuedTask
        //Sets the MapDeviceLocationOptions to be updates with these values
        MapDeviceLocationService.Instance.SetDeviceLocationOptions(currentOptions);
    }
