Display a Map with .NET MAUI | Community Feed

.NET MAUI lacked a map control, so David Britch wrote a simple one — primarily as a gentle example of authoring custom controls with handlers. It displays, scrolls, zooms, and switches map imagery.

What you’ll learn

Native map views — mapping a cross-platform Map to MKMapView on iOS/Mac Catalyst and Android’s MapView (with no WinUI equivalent)
Handler architecture — implementing IMap, IMapHandler, and a property mapper for a virtual view
Platform partial classes — splitting the handler across MapHandler.Android.cs, .iOS.cs, and .Windows.cs
What it covers — scrolling, zooming, showing location and traffic, and changing between street/satellite/hybrid imagery
Android setup — inserting your Google Maps API key into the Android manifest
