Hello,
We want to display an arrow on the map pointing from the camera towards the direction from which the sound is coming. Currently, we can show the camera and its view. Is it possible to display an arrow on the map to indicate the direction of the sound relative to the camera?
Does the SDK already have functionality to show a line OR an arrow OR a box? If yes, can you suggest how we can achieve that? If possible please provide sample.
Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately, neither the Smart Map nor the Map, has the functionality. Generally speaking the maps are also very static in nature, they do not change unless the are reloaded (by switching to another view and then back).
I think I have seen partners implement their own maps as a workaround when further functionality demands it. The Smart Client Location View plugin sample is an example of doing this, and the sample can follow a mobile client doing video push. https://doc.developer.milestonesys.com/html/index.html?base=samples/pluginsamples/locationview/readme.html&tree=tree_1.html

Thanks for reply, I think we are not on same page.
What I wanted in Milestone is to achieve a functionality like to display an arrow on the map pointing from the camera towards the direction from which the sound is coming, something like below image. on dynamically configuring multiple camera on a Map and show direction from cameras towards an arrow from where sound is coming. So, the process should be like first mapping a camera on a Map and on view & then once camera observe any sound near by we can see the sound direction from camera. Shown example in image 2(Not exactly but similar of this we wanted in a view with arrow or box or eclipse with distance).
The sample you suggested Location view is static view of showing camera on map with static data of longitude and latitude with Marker.
Where also I see that sample it was just adding camera to grid but can’t add on map shown in First image.

What I meant to say, is that you can make your own maps, but maybe the Smart Client Location View plugin sample wasn’t a good example in that it will not do what you require.
The built-in Smart Map cannot do what you require.
