Maps, pass touch through when scrolling disabled

Hello,

As the title suggests, I would like to pass touches through the native.newMapView when it has ‘isScrollEnabled’ set to false.

Currently, I have the map inside a scrollview and when I touch the map and move around (and outside the map view) nothing happens. The touch is absorbed (and it should be), but I don’t want this when scrolling is turned off.

What can I do?

I don’t believe this is possible.

I would suggest however that you go to https://feedback.coronalabs.com and look at the existing map feature requests and vote up similar ones. Or add your specific request and get it voted up.

In the mean time, consider using Google static maps. If your not allowing scrolling or zooming, you can use Google static maps to just get an image of what you want. See this thread:

Thanks Rob,

The static maps API is a good choice for now, however their free license only allows 1000 requests / day.

I’ll have to live with it for now while I wait for the feedback request which I’ve linked to below.
