How to track GPS coordinates as custom walks, from xamarin.forms for the ios platform

I just went through a link

track GPS coordinates of current location when user walks with xamarin.forms app (iOS platforms)

But I couldn't find how to do this as I am born new to xamarin.forms,

Can we do this in xamarin.forms or should I create a xamarin ios project?

Any links / guides on tracking user location via xamarin.forms for iOS platfomrs would be appreciated in advance, thanks in advance.

We used Xamarin-Forms-Labs for this. Works great with Xamarin.Forms on all platforms.



For more information: Geolocator

The Geolocator plugin for Xamarin and Windows is a great way to deal with location services (like getting the user's current location) in a cross-platform way.

The API is literally a few lines away and is as simple as calling a single method. If you want to do more advanced things like tracking the user's location in the background (use example: maps app), you can do that as well.



You can read more about this in this blog post from Xamarin .
