[Feature request]: Add option to toggle the My Location botton

[IvelinKrastev]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Use case

The GoogleMapViewController has setMyLocationEnabled. If set to true, it automatically enables the My Location button.

Proposal

Split the toggle of my location from the toggle of my location button. In my case, I want to have my location enabled so the users can see where they are, but I have a custom My Location button, so I want to disable the default My Location button.

Hi @IvelinKrastev. Thank you for opening the feature request.

The default behavior of my location button is to show it whenever user location is enabled. You can actually just enable my location but disable the my location button with setMyLocationButtonEnabled() and then you will have the behavior you are looking for.

Hey, thank you for the fast response! Question: Which dart class has that setMyLocationButtonEnabled() method? I cannot find it in either GoogleMapViewController or GoogleNavigationViewController.

@IvelinKrastev It's inside the settings of GoogleMapViewController. So basically in dart:

await controller.settings.setMyLocationButtonEnabled(false);

You can also find it in the example app code:
https://github.com/googlemaps/flutter-navigation-sdk/blob/main/example/lib/pages/map.dart#L227-L228

Let me know if this works.
