Building a Location Tracking App Using GPS and Maps

In this chapter, we will create a location tracking app that saves the location of the user and displays it as a heat map. We will learn how to run tasks in the background on iOS, macOS, and Android devices. We will extend the .NET MAUI Map control to display the map with the saved locations directly in the map.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

Tracking the location of a user in the background on an iOS device and a macOS device
Tracking the location of a user in the background on an Android device
How to show maps in a .NET MAUI app
How to extend the functionality of .NET MAUI maps

Let’s get started!

Hindrikes

Hindrikes

Daniel Hindrikes is a developer and architect with a passion for developing mobile apps powered by the cloud. Daniel fell in love with Xamarin in the early days of Xamarin when he realized that he could use C# even for iOS and Android apps, and that he could share code with the Windows apps he was also building. But Daniel started to build mobile apps long before that, working on Android apps with Java and even Java ME apps (a long, long time ago). Daniel enjoys sharing his knowledge and can be found speaking at conferences, blogging, or recording the podcast, The Code Behind. Daniel works at the company tretton37 in Sweden and has experience working with both local and global customers.
