# MapLocationCompass

A view that displays a combined user location button and map compass.

## Declaration

```swift
@MainActor @preconcurrency struct MapLocationCompass
```

## Overview

Overview In watchOS 10 and later, this view displays a combined MapUserLocationButton and MapCompass control. When the map camera has a heading of zero (where north is up), this view shows the user location button. When the map camera is in a rotated state, it shows a compass. Use MapLocationCompass in conjunction with Map as a standalone view, as shown in this example:     struct LocationCompassTestView: View {         @Namespace var mapScope

var body: some View {             VStack {                 Map(scope: mapScope)                 MapLocationCompass(scope: mapScope)             }             .mapScope(mapScope)         }     } You can also use MapLocationCompass in conjunction with the mapControls(_:) modifier. For example:     Map()         .mapControls {             MapLocationCompass()         }
