Anchoring Map Icons
One of the most common issues developers come across when using custom Map Icons is that when they zoom the map it appears as if their
MapIcon is drifting to or from the location it is meant to be anchored to. This is due to an incorrect anchor point value in the pushpin
options. The anchor point specifies which pixel coordinate of the image, relative to the top left corner of the image, should overlap the
pushpins location coordinate.
For example, consider the following Map Icon, which is 24 pixels wide and 36 pixels tall. For this pushpin we would want the bottom point
of the pushpin to align with the pushpins location coordinate, which in this case would need an X offset that is half the width and a Y
offset equal to the height of the image. This would require an anchor point of (0.5, 1.0):
Here are some additional MapIcon images and anchor values that can be used to properly position the image.
