Problems with Location datastream and Map widget

[mikesoniat]

My map widget was working fine on the old app. Now:

Web: I setup a datastream "Location" type connected to my MapWidget virtual pin. It connected up automatically when I added a map widget to the web dashboard. Looks good, but no data is being received on my device dashboard.

New App: When I add a map widget, the "Location" pin is not showing up as an option. All other V pins are showing up Doubles and Strings.

I tried both:

WidgetMap myMap(V12); myMap.location(map_index, latitude, longitude, "value");

and

Blynk.virtualWrite(V12, map_index, latitude, longitude, "value");

Same result on both.

Any ideas?

@mikesoniat when the Location DataStream created you need to set it as raw DS:

We will fix it in the next build. So we don't confuse the people.

Real-time updates for the map are not yet implemented. Will be implemented soon as well.

Correct usage would be:

Blynk.virtualWrite(V12, longitude, latitude);

Thank you for your quick response. BTW, I love the new UI!

@mikesoniat thanks! I'll update this ticket when we'll fix the issue. Meanwhile, I updated the doc with additional info on how to update the map:

@mikesoniat both issues are fixed. Now new Location DS isRaw == true by default. Also, the map now supports real-time updates. Please let me know if it works as expected. Please reopen if not fixed.

I'm not sure if I'm just missing something. The web UI seems to work great, but my Location virtual pin (V12) is still not available on the iOS app. See below:

Works great! Thank you!
