Working with maps
One of the most useful components in mobile apps is a map. Delphi comes with the cross-platform TMapView component that makes it easy to embed a map in an app.
On Android, it uses the Google Maps Android API and on iOS it uses the Map Kit Framework. On Android, it is necessary to first obtain the Google Maps API key. There are different possible view types on each platform. A map can be displayed as Normal, Satellite, or Hybrid. On Android there is also an additional Terrain view mode.
Let's build a simple app to try out different TMapView features. Create a new multi-device, blank Delphi app. Save the main form as uFormMap and the project as MapApp. Change the Name property of the form to FormMap. Drop TToolbar on the form and a TMapView component. Align to Client.
Drop the TComboBox component onto the toolbar. Rename it as cmbbxMapType and add five items to its Items property that corresponds to five possible map types.
MapType choices in the items property of the cmbbxMapType...
