Usage

Get list of installed maps and launch first

import 'package:map_launcher/map_launcher.dart';

final availableMaps = await MapLauncher.installedMaps;
print(availableMaps); // [AvailableMap { mapName: Google Maps, mapType: google }, ...]

await availableMaps.first.showMarker(
  coords: Coords(37.759392, -122.5107336),
  title: "Ocean Beach",
);

Check if map is installed and launch it

import 'package:map_launcher/map_launcher.dart';

if (await MapLauncher.isMapAvailable(MapType.google)) {
  await MapLauncher.showMarker(
    mapType: MapType.google,
    coords: coords,
    title: title,
    description: description,
  );
}

Using with bottom sheet

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:map_launcher/map_launcher.dart';

void main() => runApp(MapLauncherDemo());

class MapLauncherDemo extends StatelessWidget {
  openMapsSheet(context) async {
    try {
      final coords = Coords(37.759392, -122.5107336);
      final title = "Ocean Beach";
      final availableMaps = await MapLauncher.installedMaps;

      showModalBottomSheet(
        context: context,
        builder: (BuildContext context) {
          return SafeArea(
            child: SingleChildScrollView(
              child: Container(
                child: Wrap(
                  children: <Widget>[
                    for (var map in availableMaps)
                      ListTile(
                        onTap: () => map.showMarker(
                          coords: coords,
