Customizing the search map screen in the app

Map icons

TMF provides a standard set of map icons. The map icons are rendered in the theme's color of the vehicle is available or in grey if the vehicle is in use.

The map icons are by default based on the category of the vehicle model. The following categories are available:

  • small car
  • mpv (multi purpose vehicle) car
  • medium car
  • small van
  • medium van
  • big van
  • cargo bike
  • bike

Under the map icon is place for a label. By default the range for a full battery as configured on the vehicle model is shown.

Customizing map icons

Customization of map icons can be defined on 2 levels

  • the model of the physical vehicle (default)
  • the vehicle service unit

The map icon can be customized using a customization string of the following format app://{vehicle_category}?color={hex color code}&caption?={custom caption}

Example:

app://{small_car}?color=0xFFFF6677&caption?=big battery

Clustering

If lots of vehicles are displayed on the same position on the map the map icons are clustered. A number indicates how many vehicles are in the cluster (both available and in use). Clicking a cluster will zoom in and open the clusters' content.

Clustering can be turned of starting from a certain zoom level of the map. For example no clustering happens anymore if zoomed in until zoom level 15.

Map Layer

Default location

The map opens on a configured default location depending on the active group and the users' configuration. See also configuration. If the user has granted location permissions to the app the map can move to the users' current location if the users presses the my location button. In the future the default map location will be a setting in the app that can be set by the user themselves.

Map provider

Different map providers are supported. TMF provides a map box map for all TMF member production apps.
