nativ_maps_flutter

Amazon Location Service, shaped like Google Maps.

A MapLibre map widget with markers that glide instead of jumping, polylines, polygons, circles, native clustering, heatmaps and offline regions, plus the 44 operations of Places, Routes, Maps, geofencing and device tracking.

import 'package:nativ_maps_flutter/nativ_maps_flutter.dart';

final maps = NativMaps(
  region: 'us-east-1',
  credentials: const ApiKeyCredentials('your-key'),
);

NativMap(
  styleUrl: maps.maps.styleDescriptorUrl(MapStyle.standard)!,
  initialCameraPosition: CameraPosition(
    target: LatLng(-0.1807, -78.4678),
    zoom: 13,
  ),
  onMapCreated: (controller) => _controller = controller,
);

Installing just this package already gets you all 44 operations: it re-exports the entire core.

The thesis

The LatLng a search returns is the one a marker accepts:

final route = (await maps.routes.calculateRoutes(
  origin: here, destination: there,
)).best!;

// No conversion at all.
await controller.addPolyline(
  Polyline(polylineId: const PolylineId('route'), points: route.points),
);

If you know how to use google_maps_flutter, you already know how to use half of this without reading anything. And the other half is what Google didn't give you.

What Google didn't give you

	`google_maps_flutter`	Here
Isochrones	doesn't exist	`calculateIsolines`
Snap to roads	doesn't exist	`snapToRoads`
Toll costs	doesn't exist	`Toll`
Offline maps	forbidden by its terms	`controller.offline`
Search and geocoding	another API, another key	same client
Clustering	manager class in Dart	native, in the engine
Heatmap	closed type	native layer
Dark mode	filter over the tiles	rendered by the server

⚠️ Android requirements

AGP 8.x, not 9.x — maplibre_gl 0.27.0 is not yet compatible with AGP 9
JDK 21 — flutter config --jdk-dir="/path/to/jdk-21"

The details are under "Known limitations" in the repository README.
