MapLocationOptions Class
Note
Bing Maps SDK for Android and iOS retirement
Bing Maps SDK for Android and iOS is deprecated and will be retired. Free (Basic) account customers can continue to use Bing Maps SDK for Android and iOS until June 30th, 2025. Enterprise account customers can continue to use Bing Maps SDK for Android and iOS until June 30th, 2028. To avoid service disruptions, all implementations using Bing Maps SDK for Android and iOS will need to be updated to use Azure Maps Web SDK by the retirement date that applies to your Bing Maps for Enterprise account type.
Azure Maps is Microsoft's next-generation maps and geospatial services for developers. Azure Maps has many of the same features as Bing Maps for Enterprise, and more. To get started with Azure Maps, create a free Azure subscription and an Azure Maps account. For more information about azure Maps, see Azure Maps Documentation. For migration guidance, see Bing Maps Migration Overview.
Forms optional parameters for a geocoding request.
Constructors
Constructor takes no arguments, initializing all fields by default to empty optional value (parameter will not be included in the request), except for:
IncludeNeighborhood
totrue
IncludeCountryCode
totrue
Android
MapLocationOptions()
iOS
- (instancetype)init
Methods
SetReferenceIpAddress
When you specify this parameter, the location associated with the IP address is taken into account in computing the results of a location query.
The default address is the IPv4 address of the request.
Android
MapLocationOptions setReferenceIpAddress(String value)
iOS
- (void)setReferenceIpAddress:(NSString*)referenceIpAddress
SetCulture
Use the culture parameter to specify a culture for your request. The culture parameter provides the following strings in the language of the culture for:
- Geographic entities and place names returned by the Bing Maps REST Services
- Map labels on map images
- Route instructions
If not specified, devices's system locale language is used by default.
Android
MapLocationOptions setCulture(String value)
iOS
- (void)setCulture:(NSString*)culture
SetRegion
A string that represents an ISO 3166-1 Alpha-2 region/country code.
This will alter Geopolitical disputed borders and labels to align with the specified user region.
If not specified, device's system locale region is used by default.
Android
MapLocationOptions setRegion(String value)
iOS
- (void)setRegion:(NSString*)region
SetIncludeNeighborhood
Specifies to include the neighborhood with the address information in the response when it is available.
Android
MapLocationOptions setIncludeNeighborhood(boolean value)
iOS
- (void)setIncludeNeighborhood:(BOOL)includeNeighborhood
SetIncludeCountryCode
Specifies to include the two-letter ISO country code.
Android
MapLocationOptions setIncludeCountryCode(boolean value)
iOS
- (void)setIncludeCountryCode:(BOOL)includeCountryCode
SetMaxResults
Specifies the maximum number of locations to return in the response.
Must be an integer between 1 and 20. The default value is 5.
Android
MapLocationOptions setMaxResults(int value)
iOS
- (void)setMaxResults:(NSUInteger)maxResults
SetIncludeEntityTypes
Only available for geocoding by location.
Specifies the entity types that you want to return in the response. Only the types you specify will be returned. If the point cannot be mapped to the entity types you specify, no location information is returned in the response.
These entity types are ordered from the most specific entity to the least specific entity. When entities of more than one entity type are found, only the most specific entity is returned. For example, if you specify Address
and AdminDistrict
as entity types and entities were found for both types, only the Address
entity information is returned in the response. One exception to this rule is when both PopulatedPlace
and Neighborhood
entity types are specified and information is found for both. In this case, the information for both entity types is returned. Also, more than one Neighborhood
may be returned because the area covered by two different neighborhoods can overlap.
Android
MapLocationOptions setIncludeEntityTypes(int value)
iOS
- (void)setIncludeEntityTypes:(MSMapLocationEntityTypes)IncludeEntityTypes
