## A collection of bugs I encountered using the map component

### 1) drawer navigation issues

| ![android](http://community.thunkable.com/uploads/thunkable1/original/3X/9/6/961284017c1ebdb95fa826b479d8ddf4dce998e0.png) | using a drawer navigation and (full screen) map on Android, the swipe event will not work and you’re unable to open the drawer at all |

### 2) display menu elements

| ![android](http://community.thunkable.com/uploads/thunkable1/original/3X/9/6/961284017c1ebdb95fa826b479d8ddf4dce998e0.png) | Menu Elements are not shown at all. Neither `MyLocationButton` nor `ShowsCompass` nor `ToolbarEnabled` would show anything on the screen on both, iOS and Android. |

### 3) show / follow user location

Also the app does only ask for approximate location (network based) when installing and does not use location services at all according to the status bar when running. |

Thank you so much for this feedback! We are actually working on an upgrade to Maps so this will be very much used. Our plan is also to support adding markers and lines to your map.

Let us know if there’s anything else you are looking for-
