This class is a view controller that allows users to add a custom destination marker to a map and then navigate to that destination. The class has the following properties:
-
navigationMapView: A NavigationMapView object that displays the map.
-
routes: An array of Route objects that represent the routes between the user's current location and the custom destination marker.
-
startButton: A UIButton object that is used to start navigation.
The class has the following methods:
-
viewDidLoad(): This method is called when the view controller is loaded. In this method, the map view is created and configured.
-
didLongPress(): This method is called when the user long-presses on the map. In this method, a custom destination marker is added to the map at the location of the long press.
-
performAction(): This method is called when the user taps the "Start Navigation" button. In this method, a navigation controller is created and presented to the user. The navigation controller uses the routes property to display the route between the user's current location and the custom destination marker.
-
setupStartButton(): This method sets up the "Start Navigation" button.
-
setupCourseView(): This method sets up the map view to use a course view for the user location.
-
setupDefaultPuck2D(): This method sets up the map view to use the default 2D puck for the user location.
-
setupInvisiblePuck(): This method sets up the map view to use an invisible puck for the user location.
-
setupCustomPuck2D(): This method sets up the map view to use a custom 2D puck for the user location.
-
presentNavigationViewController(): This method presents a navigation controller for the given routes.
-
addNewDestinationcon(): This method adds a new destination annotation to the map.
-
requestRoutes(): This method requests routes between the user's current location and the custom destination marker.
The code also has two extensions:
-
CustomLocationViewController: NGLMapViewDelegate
-
CustomLocationViewController: NavigationViewControllerDelegate
These extensions conform the CustomLocationViewController class to the NGLMapViewDelegate and NavigationViewControllerDelegate protocols. These protocols allow the CustomLocationViewController class to respond to events from the map view and the navigation controller.
