React Native Map Link

An easy way to open a location in a map app of the user's choice, based on the apps they have installed on their device.

Currently supported apps:

• Apple Maps – apple-maps
• Google Maps – google-maps
• Citymapper – citymapper
• Uber – uber
• Lyft – lyft
• Navigon – navigon
• The Transit App – transit
• Waze – waze
• Yandex.Navi – yandex
• Moovit - moovit

Installation

npm i -S react-native-map-link         # or yarn add react-native-map-link

A note about iOS 9+

As of iOS 9, your app needs to provide the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes key inside Info.plist to specify the URL schemes with which the app can interact.

Just put this in your Info.plist depending on which apps you'd like to support. Omitting these might mean that the library can't detect some of the maps apps installed by the user.

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
    <array>
        <string>comgooglemaps</string>
        <string>citymapper</string>
        <string>uber</string>
        <string>lyft</string>
        <string>navigon</string>
        <string>transit</string>
        <string>waze</string>
        <string>yandexnavi</string>
        <string>moovit</string>
    </array>

Usage

import { showLocation } from 'react-native-map-link'

showLocation({
    latitude: 38.8976763,
    longitude: -77.0387185,
    sourceLatitude: -8.0870631,  // optional
    sourceLongitude: -34.8941619,  // not optional if sourceLatitude is specified
    title: 'The White House',  // optional
    googleForceLatLon: false,  // optionally force GoogleMaps to use the latlon for the query instead of the title
    googlePlaceId: 'ChIJGVtI4by3t4kRr51d_Qm_x58',  // optionally specify the google-place-id
    dialogTitle: 'This is the dialog Title', // optional (default: 'Open in Maps')
    dialogMessage: 'This is the amazing dialog Message', // optional (default: 'What app would you like to use?')
    cancelText: 'This is the cancel button text', // optional (default: 'Cancel')
    // app: 'uber'  // optionally specify specific app to use
})

• The sourceLatitude/sourceLongitude options only work if you specify both. Currently supporting all apps, except Waze and Navigon, if you want to specify the source lat/long instead of let the app choose your current location.
