Hey there!
After reading through the changes in pricing of the Google Maps API, I've decided to change to another map solution for a project I'm currently on. The best choice seems at the moment to be Mapbox.
However, I've been running into some issues, chiefly among them the apparent lack of documentation/support. The official Xamarin SDKfor Mapbox recommends that you code the maps separately for iOS and Android, which honestly seems to defeat the point of using Xamarin at all, as the map will be the main feature of the app (to display registered locations on).
Also found a library by Naxam (can't post links as the account is new), which might add exactly what I'm looking for, but it has pretty much 0 documentation, and so wouldn't make my life that much easier.
Other alternatives I've looked into were Bing and Here, with both (apparently) being even less supported.
Am I missing something or is Forms just not that good if you wanna work with maps? It's acceptable with Google Maps - sharing most of the code other than the custom renderers -, and I've got a prototype of the app running with it just fine, but anything other than that appears to be lacking. Should I just accept it and do everything on the native code?
