Summary

In this chapter, we discussed development with Xamarin.Forms and Xamarin.Forms.Maps. We learned how to implement location services on each platform, handling backgrounding location update events and using latitudes and longitudes to calculate positions. Have a play around with the application on all three platforms, and watch how the location updates and nearest positions update the regions on the map. In the next chapter, we will jump back into native development, and build an application that will control a sound file like an audio player.
