func setupLocationSource(mapData: MapData) {
    let polestarLocationSource = PolestarLocationSource(mapData: mapData, apiKey: "emulator") // change 'emulator' to your Polestar API key
    
    // assign it to the map if you are using WemapMapSDK
    map.userLocationManager.locationSource = polestarLocationSource

    // or/and assign it to GeoARView if you are using WemapGeoARSDK
    geoARView.locationManager.locationSource = polestarLocationSource
}
