How to change the map type of a simple QML map component?

nmnandakishore

Hi,

I am can see a map using QML Map object with QtLocation5.5. But not being able to generate different map types like satellite or hybrid.

Here is the code I tried.

Plugin {
    id: mapPlugin
    name: "here"
    PluginParameter { name: "here.app_id"; value: "****" }
    PluginParameter { name: "here.token"; value: "*****" }
}

  Map{
        id: hereMap
        anchors.fill: parent
        plugin: mapPlugin
        activeMapType:MapType.SatelliteMapDay
}

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Did you check with supportedMapTypes that you have access to other map types ?

Thank you @SGaist ,

When I checked with supportedMApTypes, all i get is,

qml: 0: QDeclarativeGeoMapType(0x2707e70)
qml: 1: QDeclarativeGeoMapType(0x270d600)
qml: 2: QDeclarativeGeoMapType(0x2710400)
qml: 3: QDeclarativeGeoMapType(0x2713220)

@nmnandakishore You could have a try with the following snippets, to list the available map type

GroupBox{
               title:"map types"
               ComboBox{
                   model:hereMap.supportedMapTypes
                   textRole:"description"
                   onCurrentIndexChanged: hereMap.activeMapType = hereMap.supportedMapTypes[currentIndex]
               }          
 }

if this is doesn't work neither, have a try with OpenStreetMap plugin, using "osm" as name.
