larger compass?

[halset]

Is there a way to make the compass larger? In Mapbox GL Native, that was possible by setting the compassView.image property to a larger compass image, but they remove that functionality. What is the best way to do this with maplibre-gl-native?

I have tried setting the compassView.image to a larger image and calling sizeToFit on the compassView, but the compass does not change.

Good question; I'd love to know, the answer, too.

In my app, I ended up creating a separate custom compass UIView and redraw it with core graphics when the maps rotates. I also ended up having a custom gesture recognizer to handle tap for switching between north up and course up.

So perhaps it is just fine to have a basic compass in maplibre-gl-native and then app developers can make their own if they want to. Just changing the image to a larger one would have been simpler than writing a custom compass.

If this is not possible anymore, maybe you could contribute this feature back to maplibre-gl-native?

@halset have you tried setCompassMargins from UiSettings class?
