Hi,

We have a nice Maps Examples application which covers majority of the SDK features including this one. Please take a look at the source code here: https://github.com/tomtom-international/maps-sdk-for-ios-examples/blob/master/MapsSDKExamplesSwift/Map/MapUIExtensionsViewController.swift

I hope this helps a little bit.

I am using the latest version of the SDK but the compass button method in the example is deprecated. when I was using the older version the code works fine

Hi @yethindias.

Can you try to use the following code?

let customCompassButton = UIButton()
customCompassButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "custom_compass"), for: .normal)
customCompassButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "custom_compass"), for: .highlighted)
customCompassButton.setImage(UIImage(named: "custom_compass"), for: .selected)
        
controlView.setCompassButton(customCompassButton, withDefaultConstraints: false)
controlView.compassButton?.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
controlView.compassButton?.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor,constant: 20).isActive = true
controlView.compassButton?.rightAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.rightAnchor,constant: -20).isActive = true
controlView.compassButton?.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 40).isActive = true
controlView.compassButton?.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 40).isActive = true
