Locator

The Locator object provides methods for displaying and positioning the locator icon. An instance is created via the locator() method on a Unit Map instance.

You can also view a code example on codesandbox.io.

📘

This icon is used to highlight a single position on the map, most likely that of a user's geolocation, but can have other use cases and is not directly coupled to geo positioning data.

map.on("ready", function() {
	// Create a Locator instance via `map.locator()`, which can only be called once a unit map has loaded.
  
  var locator = map.locator();  
});

Locator.translate([point])

Moves the locator icon to the given position if provided. Otherwise returns the current position value.

Arguments

Returns

Either an [x, y] coordinates Array of the current position or the object chain.

Locator.show()

Display the locator icon. This method is chainable.

Locator.hide()

Hide the locator icon. This method is chainable.
