How Can I Simplify Pins In Maps

So I have implemented Google Maps on my VS Xamarin project. I know there is a way to simplify my code but I don't know how more could I do it. I have a bunch of markers on my map a

Solution 1:

note this is all pseudocode, not syntactically correct json/C#

first, create a json file with your data and include it in your project

[ 
  { Label = "USA" Address = "2020", Lat = "36.9628066" Long = "-122.0194722" },
  ... 
  { Label = ""Santa HEY MAN", Address = "The city with a boardwalk", Lat = "36.9628066" Long = "-122.0194722} }
]

then, in your code

// read the filevar json = File.ReadAllText(path);

// deserialize using NewtonSoftvar places = DeserializeObject<List<Place>>(json);

// then create pinsforeach (var place in places)
{
   var pin = new Pin
        {
            Label = place.Label,
            Address = place.Address,
            Type = PinType.Place,
            Position = new Position(place.Lat, place.Long)
        };
   map.Pins.Add(pin);
}
