The SfMaps control is a powerful data visualization component for displaying statistical information across geographical areas with highly interactive and customizable features.\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\nUse this skill when you need to:\n\n- **Install and configure** Syncfusion .NET MAUI Maps (SfMaps) control\n- **Display geographic data** using shape layers with shapefile data\n- **Integrate tile-based maps** from providers.\n- **Add markers** to denote locations with built-in symbols or custom content\n- **Visualize data** with bubbles, color mapping, and choropleth maps\n- **Display legends** for shapes or bubbles with customizable appearance\n- **Show data labels** on map shapes with smart positioning\n- **Add sublayers** (circle, arc, line, polygon, polyline) for additional data visualization\n- **Enable interactions** like zoom, pan, shape selection, and tooltips\n- **Implement AI-driven location search** for smart geocoding and search\n\n## Component Overview\n\n**Syncfusion .NET MAUI Maps** provides two primary layer types:\n\n1. **Shape Layer (`MapShapeLayer`)**: Renders vector maps from GeoJSON or shapefile data\n2. **Tile Layer
