Create the Map

Learn how to build your first jig by using this simple step-by-step guide that displays a marker on a map. The solution uses the jig.default type with an icon and a static data source. At the end of this step-by-step, you will have built a solution that can display a location marker on a map as shown. See Jigx Concepts to learn what jigs and widgets are.

We recommend you build out all the solution steps for the Create an app from scratch, as each solution step builds on the previous step until you have a functioning mobile app.

Steps

1. Create the Hello Jigx project in the Jigx Builder.

2. Add the jig.default with an icon, and static data source.

3. Publish the project.

4. Open the Jigx mobile app, click on the location jig, and view the map.
