Map template

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

Note: This template is for navigation apps only. To present similar information with no map, POI apps can use the List template or the Pane template.

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).

* Note: To retrieve the list row limit for a given vehicle, use the ConstraintManager API.
