Place List (navigation) template (deprecated)

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• The Place List template displays an ordered list of locations on a map, linking list items with map markers for navigation apps.

• This template is deprecated; designers and developers should transition to the Map + Content template for enhanced functionality.

• Each list item must display duration or distance and have an associated action, focusing on relevant information and nearby locations.

• Developers should use the ConstraintManager API to determine the list row limit for different vehicles.

• Corresponding map markers should be included for each location, ideally with a font size of at least 24dp.

The Place List template presents an ordered list of locations (or containers for sublists), overlaid on a map drawn by the app. The app should draw markers to link list items with map locations.

Note: This template is deprecated in favor of the Map + Content template. Designers and developers should work to update their task flows to make use of the new template.

Note: This template is for navigation apps. An alternate version, Place List (map), is provided for point-of-interest apps.

Includes:

• Header (in card) with optional refresh button for users to request a list update (doesn't add to step count)
• Action strip (optional)
• Base map (full-screen, not drawn by apps)
• Optional map action strip with up to 4 buttons for map interactivity
• List rows within limits*
• Markers

* Note: The number of list rows allowed to be shown depends on the vehicle. To retrieve the list row limit for a given vehicle, use the ConstraintManager API.
