I implemented a couple of Azure Maps services: Weather and Search in this update, as well as displaying information on a Xamarin.Forms.Maps Map control.

On the one hand, Weather service, the current weather information is displayed for the selected destination. Its Get Current Conditions (currently in Preview) service helped me to obtain:

  • Weather icon
  • Weather description
  • Temperature

On the other hand, Search service retrieves geographic information about a location. Its Get Search POI service was quite useful and helped me to obtain relevant information from a place, in this case a list of nearby points of interests. For this application, I'm displaying each POI on a Map control (using the Xamarin.Forms.Maps Nuget package). POI content includes:

  • Location (placing a Pin on the map)
  • Name
  • Address

Azure Maps services in action

To access this page, simply tap the name of the Destination of your preference on the Main Page.

What I liked from this challenge is that now I have a better understanding of the yummy Pancakes 😋 😀 it is amazing how beautiful an application can be by implementing it.
