Is it possible to show lightship map point in AR?

Technical Support

I am using this project to make a location based app. I’ve figured out how to add a custom lightship map point to any arbitrary GPS coordinate so the user can navigate toward it.

Now, I’d like to be able to switch to AR and see the custom map point on the camera feed. Does this require a VPS Wayspot, or is there another way to determine the user’s location and if they are close enough to the location of the map point to show the object on the camera?

This doesn’t require a Wayspot. The <lightship-map-point> will receive distance events from the current map view location. The primitive can listen to its parent element events to get these updates and set various behaviors that respond to distance.
