🗺 A simple cross-platform library to help perform map actions to the corresponding device's map (Google, Apple, or Yandex Maps)
react-native-open-maps works by creating a universal map link for either Apple, Google, and Yandex maps that can be used to open up the relevant map application. In order to maximize compatibility some platform specific parameters are omitted, but simplifies development efforts and ensures a smooth user experience.
Features
- ✅ Open the map coordinates immediately
- ✅ Create a delayed invoked
functionthat will open the map - ✅ Create a
stringof the map link - ✅ Cross-compatible properties among different map applications
- Install the repository
$ npm install --save react-native-open-maps
- Add an import to the top of your file
import openMap from 'react-native-open-maps';
- Put it all together
import React, { Component } from 'react'; import { Button } from 'react-native'; import openMap from 'react-native-open-maps'; export default class App extends Component { _goToYosemite() { openMap({ latitude: 37.865101, longitude: -119.538330 }); } render() { return ( <Button color={'#bdc3c7'} onPress={this._goToYosemite} title="Click To Open Maps 🗺" /> ); } }
- BONUS: You can also create delayed functions for more of that
1 - 1mapping flavor 🍦.
import { createOpenLink } from 'react-native-open-maps';
const yosemite = { latitude: 37.865101, longitude: -119.538330 };
const openYosemite = createOpenLink(yosemite);
const openYosemiteZoomedOut = createOpenLink({ ...yosemite, zoom: 30 });
const facebookHQ = { latitude: 37.4847, longitude: 122.1477 };
const openFacebookHQ = createOpenLink(facebookHQ);
// Condensed for Readability...
render() {
return (
<Button
color={'#bdc3c7'}
onPress={openYosemite}
title="Go to Yosemite 🏔" />
<Button
color={'#bdc3c7'}
onPress={openFacebookHQ}
title="Go to Facebook HQ 🕋" />

react-native-open-maps immediately opens the map of the coordinates and the settings
Creates a delayed invoked function to open the map. This is useful for binding functions to onPress() in a succinct manner. Think of it like ... function openToMe() { open(coordinates) }
Creates the raw link for the map.
Creates the query parameters for the designated maps provider. Useful if you want to override the base url and perform logic to override it with a native base URL.
| Properties | Type | Description | Example | Map Support |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| latitude | number |
The latitude | 37.865101 | All |
| longitude | number |
The longitude | -119.538330 | All |
| zoom | number |
The zoom level, only works with latitude and longitude |
18 Default: 15 |
All |
| provider | string [ google,apple,yandex] |
If no provider set, it will determine according to Platform.OS |
apple |
N/A |
| query | string |
Will act according to the map used. Refer to query property | "Yosemite Trail" |
All |
| queryPlaceId | string |
Will query by Place ID. | ChIJgUbEo8cfqokR5lP9_Wh_DaM |
|
| travelType | enumeration : [drive, walk,public_transport] |
Use this parameter in conjunction with start and end to determine transportation type. Default is drive |
"drive" |
All |
| start | string that geolocation can understand |
The start location that can be interpreted as a geolocation, omit if you want to use current location / "My Location". See Apple, Google and Yandex docs for more details on how to define geolocations. | "New York City, New York, NY" |
All |
| end | string that geolocation can understand. |
The end location that can be interpreted as a geolocation. See Apple, Google and Yandex docs for more details on how to define geolocations. | "SOHO, New York, NY" |
All |
| waypoints | array: [address, address] |
Define intermediate addresses between a route. | ["San Jose, California", "Campbell, California"] | Apple (v16+) and Google |
| endPlaceId | string |
End destination with the use of a place ID that uniquely identifies a places. | ChIJgUbEo8cfqokR5lP9_Wh_DaM |
|
| navigate | boolean |
This is only specific for Google. Yandex and Apple maps will provide directions if a start and end is provided. |
true |
|
| mapType | enum: [standard, satellite, hybrid, transit] |
Specifies base map type. Note, hybrid is the satellite map with a transit layer, where as transit is the standard roadmap with a transit layer. |
"hybrid" | All, except Yandex does not support "hybrid" |
Note:
- Combining query with latitude and longitude will override the query parameter.
- Yandex Maps does not support building routes from current location.
To perform certain map actions refer these necessary parameters
- Setting Directions:
end, [start,travelType] - Display Map Around Coordinates:
latitude+longitude, [zoom] - Query Map For Location:
query
createMapLink({ provider: 'apple', query: 'Yosemite National Park' });createMapLink({ provider: 'apple', query: 'Coffee Shop', latitude: 10.02134, longitude: -29.21322 })createMapLink({ provider: 'yandex', start: '1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA', end: '1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA' })createMapLink({ provider: 'google', end: 'New York City, NY' })createMapLink({ provider: 'google', end: 'East Brunswick, NJ' })createMapLink({ provider: 'google', end: 'New York City, NY', travelType: 'walking', mapType: 'hybrid' })createMapLink({ provider: 'google', start: 'SoHo, Manhattan, New York, NY', end: 'Times Square, Manhattan, NY', travelType: 'public_transportation' })createMapLink({ provider: 'apple', query: 'hiking trails', mapType: 'satellite' })createMapLink({ provider: 'yandex', latitude: 10.02134, longitude: -29.21322, zoom: 20 })The query behavior differs per platform:
- Apple Maps: If
latitudeandlongitudeis provided, this will place a marker with thequeryas a label. If nolatitudeorlongitudeis provided, it will center map to closest query match. This will set a pin with label set to the query value. - Google Maps: Will override
latitudeandlongitudeif present and center map to closest query match. Without aquery, you may however use<latitude>,<longitude>as a string value in the query to have a unnamed marker on the map. - Yandex Maps: If
latitudeandlongitudeis provided, this will place a point to show the accurate location. If nolatitudeorlongitudeis provided, it will center map to closest query match.
Contributions are greatly appreciated! Prior to submitting PRs, please try to test your changes against the example application provided to make sure your changes do not break existing platforms. In addition, unit tests are recommended for new features or large changes.
