Thanks for the post. Is there a way to specify user tracking mode in the newer Map() syntax? For example if we wish to specify userTrackingMode = .followWithHeading

hi Abhijit! MapUserTrackingMode has been deprecated, but there’s a MapUserLocationButton that sets the framing of the associated map to the user location. Also, MapCameraPosition has Boolean properties followsUserHeading and followsUserLocation.

See if this article helps.

Thank you Audrey. I was able to get what I wanted by adding map controls and then using the MapUserLocationButton() button to orient the map such that up was where I am heading.
