Allow changing Marker position on user interaction

I need to allow users to position a map marker on the map. As such, I need them to be able to drag the marker and/or map but I don't see any drag events documented.

How do I support user marker positioning with interactions like a drag, drop, click, etc.?

Here is our scenario. The use case is for servicing automobile breakdowns. We use the browser to guess the user's location but it may not be correct, either by a little or a lot:

  1. The map is initialized with the current device location.
  2. The user is asked to confirm the location or reposition the "me marker" to locate the actual position of their vehicle.
  3. The user can drag their marker to the actual location.
  4. The app records the latitude and longitude of the dropped marker.

We expect users to be on small format devices for this, and precise location data is critical (e.g. on the freeway or a road going under the freeway).

I have a similar use case; my company deals a lot with campgrounds; and we are needing the ability to allow the user to position campsites on the map.  This functionality would be great to have.

Hi John,

I completely understand that this feature is critical for you. I'm very sorry that the component does not provide it currently.

I can confirm - our short-term planning focuses more on feature requests more commonly demanded from customers. We try to cover features existing in more scenarios based on feedback and votes.

As soon as we include the feature or find an alternate, we will change the status of the public item here.

Regards,

Is this ever going to happen? If not soon, I will have to use another component.
