Thank you for posting.
We are currently looking into this and will get back to you as soon as we have an update.
Description
-----------------------
What would you like to see us add to this API?
The ability to use a custom location marker when using the Android Maps SDK or to change the default colour from blue. Also have different sized location icons available.
Please note, I am NOT referring to map markers/pins - this is specifically about the blue pulsing circle that shows the user's current location on the map.
Explain your use case for that feature:
As newer phones have higher resolution and larger screens, the default blue location marker is appearing to be smaller and smaller. The option to adjust the size in the SDK would be beneficial for many users.
The blue colour is also more problematic now that the maps colour scheme has changed from bright yellow/orange/white roads (where the blue stood out quite well) to the blue/grey colour scheme where the blue location marker tends to merge into the roads on the map.
