Custom Puck View
This example shows how to customize your location puck view.
-
To achieve a custom Puck view, you can inherit from the NGLUserLocationAnnotationView class.
-
Replace the custom puck view of the NGLMapView

83 Returns a view object to mark the given point annotation object on the map.
84 Implement this method to mark a point annotation with a view object. If you
85 want to mark a particular point annotation with a static image instead, omit
86 this method or have it return `nil` for that annotation, then implement
87 `-mapView:imageForAnnotation:` instead.
88 Annotation views are compatible with UIKit, Core Animation, and other Cocoa
89 Touch frameworks. On the other hand, static annotation images use less memory
90 and draw more quickly than annotation views.
91 The user location annotation view can also be customized via this method. When
92 `annotation` is an instance of `NGLUserLocation` (or equal to the map view's
93 `userLocation` property), return an instance of `NGLUserLocationAnnotationView`
94 (or a subclass thereof).
95 @param mapView The map view that requested the annotation view.
96 @param annotation The object representing the annotation that is about to be
97 displayed.

This example provided code is for a view controller (CustomPuckViewController) that sets up a map view (NGLMapView) and customizes the user location style and view.
Initialization of MapView:
-
The nbMapView property is initialized as an instance of NGLMapView with the frame matching the bounds of the view controller's view.
-
The autoresizingMask is set to allow the map view to resize automatically with the view controller's view.
-
The delegate property is set to self to receive map view delegate callbacks.
-
The userTrackingMode is set to .follow to enable user location tracking and center the map on the user's location.
Custom User Location Style:
-
The mapView(styleForDefaultUserLocationAnnotationView:) method is implemented to provide custom styling options for the default user location annotation view.
-
An instance of NGLUserLocationAnnotationViewStyle is created and configured with various properties to customize the appearance of the user location puck, arrow, and halo.
-
The method returns the configured NGLUserLocationAnnotationViewStyle object.
Custom user location view:
-
The mapView(_:viewFor:) method is implemented to provide a custom annotation view for the user location.
-
An instance of NGLUserLocationAnnotationView is created and its frame is set based on the intrinsic content size.
-
The method returns the CustomUserLocationAnnotationView object as the view for the user location annotation.
