Map template (deprecated)

AI-generated Key Takeaways

The Map template is a compact view that combines a list or pane of information with a full-screen map for navigation apps.
This template is deprecated and designers should transition to the Map + Content template for future development.
The Map template includes a header, list or pane content, a base map, and an optional map action strip.
Navigation apps should prioritize a primary action, ideally navigation, when using this template.
App developers can retrieve vehicle-specific constraints, such as list row limits, using the ConstraintManager API.

The Map template presents a compact version of a list (as in the List template) or of a pane (detailed information with prominent actions, as in the Pane template) next to a map.

Includes:

Header with optional action strip
List rows with optional small images OR list rows without images, augmented by up to 2 optional buttons, where one can be designated as primary (as as in the Pane template)
Base map (full-screen) drawn by the app
Optional map action strip with up to 4 buttons for map interactivity

Map template UX requirements

App developers:

MUST	Include at least one row of information if using a pane view.
SHOULD	Designate a primary action when providing 2 actions.
SHOULD	Make navigation the primary action, when it's included as one of the actions.
MAY	Include up to 4 rows of information and 2 actions (in a pane view) OR up to the number of list rows allowed for the vehicle* (in a list view).
