.NET MAUI maui maps
Overview
The .NET MAUI Maps control is a powerful data visualization component that displays statistical information for a geographical area. Its rich feature set includes tile rendering from OpenStreetMap, Bing Maps, Google Maps, and other tile providers. The shape layer has highly interactive and customizable features such as selection, tooltip, legends, markers, bubbles, and color mapping. Users can generate maps to determine population density, sales distribution, political boundaries, weather, elections, and routes.
.NET MAUI Maps Code Example
Easily get started with the .NET MAUI Maps control using a few simple lines of XAML code example as demonstrated below. Also, explore our .NET MAUI Maps Example that shows you how to render and configure the .NET MAUI Maps.

Shape layer
Render GeoJSON or shapefile data as custom maps or geographical area shapes on a shape layer for powerful data visualization. Customize the maps to the desired look using built-in options.
Tile layer
An interactive tile layer allows you to load and customize map tiles from web map-tile services such as OpenStreetMaps, Bing Maps API, Google Maps Tile API, TomTom, Mapbox, and Esriโs ArcGIS. Use markers to denote a specific latitude and longitude in the tile layer. Zoom and pan the tile layer to navigate across the regions and take a closer look.
Data labels
Data labels in a shape layer provide basic information about shapes by displaying their names and such. If required, trim or hide the labels when they exceed the shape bounds.
Selection
Highlight a shape to focus attention on a specific area. Use this functionality to navigate pages and show detailed information about a selected area.
Interactive map markers
Show markers for a shape layer with specific latitudes and longitudes. Use multiple markers to denote important locations in the .NET MAUI Maps control. Use built-in marker icons such as circles, diamonds, rectangles, and triangles. As a custom marker, you can use any type of content, like a label control for displaying simple text. Change the marker position dynamically to the desired location in scenarios like real-time location updates. Use a markerโs tap or click interaction for custom functionalities such as navigation or a custom info window.
Shape layer
Show markers for a shape layer with specific latitudes and longitudes.
Tile layer
Show markers for a tile layer with specific latitudes and longitudes.
Legends
Legends in the shape layer provide clear information about the data in the .NET MAUI Maps control by explaining the meaning of the shapes and bubble colors on the maps.
Shape legends
Shape legends effectively present distinct details for any data depicted in the .NET MAUI Maps control through the use of shapes.
Bubble legends
The bubble legends present precise information regarding the data represented using bubbles.
Position
Move a legend to any of the four sides (top, left, bottom, and right) on a map.
Color mapping
Categorize the shapes on a map by customizing their color based on their underlying data. The .NET MAUI Maps control supports two types of color mapping: equal and range.
Equal color mapping
Apply a specific color to a shape purely based on its data. For example, apply colors to countries based on their organization membership.
Range color mapping
Apply colors to shapes if their data falls within a specific range. For example, apply colors to countries based on their population density.
Map bubbles
Add information to shapes, such as population density and number of users. Bubbles can be rendered in different colors and sizes based on the settings of their assigned shape.
Color customization
Customize the color of a map bubble and its transparency based on data.
Size customization
Customize the size of a bubble based on data to improve the readability of the map.
Tooltips
Enhance the user experience by adding tooltips that display additional information about shapes, bubbles, and markers when they are tapped, clicked, or hovered over.
Shape tooltips
A shape tooltip displays information when interacting with shapes.
Bubble tooltips
A bubble tooltip displays more information whenever you engage with the bubbles.
Marker tooltips
Show tooltips for markers every time you engage with them in .NET MAUI Maps.
Show routes and highlight regions
Add vector shapes such as lines, polylines, arcs, circles, and polygons on both the shape layer and tile layer to show routes and highlight specific regions.
On shape layer
Add vector shapes on top of the shape layer to show routes and highlight specific regions.
On tile layer
Add vector shapes on top of the tile layer to show routes and highlight specific regions.
Circles
Add circles on the shape layer and tile layer. Every Maps circle renders a circle using a center and radius.
Polygons
Add polygons on the shape layer and tile layer. Every polygon connects multiple coordinates through a points property.
Shape sublayers
Integrate a shape sublayer with GeoJSON data within an existing shape layer or tile layer to provide more detailed information about a specific region.
On shape layer
A shape layer can contain a collection of map sublayers, where you can add a shape layer as a sublayer of another shape layer.
On tile layer
A tile layer can contain a collection of map sublayers, where you can add a shape layer as a sublayer of the tile layer.
Zooming and panning
Zoom in any layer for a closer look at a specific region by pinching the screen, scrolling the mouse wheel, or using the keyboard track pad. Pan the map to navigate across regions. Zooming and panning can be enabled for both the shape layer and the tile layer.
