Part of the MAUI UI July series, this World Cup-inspired post from Shaun Lawrence shows how to bring a map to life in .NET MAUI: load countries, paint their shapes, and drop each national flag inside its outline.

What you’ll learn

  • Parsing SVG geometry — reading a world map SVG as XML and extracting the path elements, grouped by country
  • Turning paths into Skia — combining SVG path data into SKPath objects with ParseSvgPathData for filling, clipping, and hit-testing
  • Loading flag SVGs — using Svg.Skia and FileSystem.OpenAppPackageFileAsync to load per-country flags into bitmaps
  • Clipping flags to shapes — using canvas.ClipPath so each flag is painted only within its country outline, scaled and centered
  • Making it interactive — supporting pan, zoom, and tap selection on an SKCanvasView
