Future<LocationPermissionStatus> initialize()

Initializes the map by requesting permissions, getting user location, and preloading custom marker assets.

Returns the status of the location permission request.

Implementation

Future<LocationPermissionStatus> initialize() async {
  final status = await _requestPermission();
  if (status != LocationPermissionStatus.granted) return status;

  final position = await Geolocator.getCurrentPosition(
    desiredAccuracy: LocationAccuracy.high);

  _currentLocation = LatLng(position.latitude, position.longitude);

  _mapController?.animateCamera(
    CameraUpdate.newLatLngZoom(_currentLocation!, 16),
  );

  // PRELOAD MARKERS BEFORE THEY ARE USED
  _customMarker ??= await BitmapDescriptor.fromAssetImage(
    const ImageConfiguration(size: Size(30, 30)),
    customMarkerPath,
  );

  _customMidMarker ??= await BitmapDescriptor.fromAssetImage(
    const ImageConfiguration(size: Size(25, 25)),
    customMidMarkerPath,
  );

  notifyListeners();
  return LocationPermissionStatus.granted;
