find my location in maui in csharp

To find your location in Maui using C#, you can use the Maui Essentials library that provides access to the device's GPS or network location.

First, ensure that the following NuGet packages are installed in your project:

  • Microsoft.Maui.Essentials
  • Microsoft.Maui.Essentials.Maps

Then you can use the following code reference to get your current location:

main.cs
using Microsoft.Maui.Essentials;
using Microsoft.Maui.Essentials.Maps;

public async Task<Location> GetLocationAsync()
{
    var request = new GeolocationRequest(GeolocationAccuracy.Medium);
    var location = await Geolocation.GetLocationAsync(request);

    if (location != null)
    {
        // got GPS location
        return location;
    }

    // fallback to network location
    var placemarks = await Geocoding.GetPlacemarksAsync();
    var placemark = placemarks?.FirstOrDefault();
    if (placemark != null)
    {
        return placemark.Location;
    }

    // failed to get any location, return null
    return null;
}

The above code will return your current location in the form of a Location object. You can use the Latitude and Longitude properties to get your current location.
