Breaking Change in v1.1.3 #

Because of the changes in Android 11 you may need to adjust your gradle version if it's failing to build. You can find solution here

Migrating to v1 #

Breaking change: map_launcher does not depend on flutter_svg anymore which means you will have to add flutter_svg in your project if you want to use images.

This should allow you to use any version of flutter_svg and it also fixes bunch of issues related to that like #45, #40, etc

The icon property from AvailableMap now returns String instead of ImageProvider so to get it working all you have to do is to go from

Image(
  image: map.icon,
)

to

import 'package:flutter_svg/flutter_svg.dart';

SvgPicture.asset(
  map.icon,
)

Get started #

Add dependency #

dependencies:
  map_launcher: ^2.2.3
  flutter_svg: # only if you want to use icons as they are svgs

For iOS add url schemes in Info.plist file #

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
<array>
    <string>comgooglemaps</string>
    <string>baidumap</string>
    <string>iosamap</string>
    <string>waze</string>
    <string>yandexmaps</string>
    <string>yandexnavi</string>
    <string>citymapper</string>
    <string>mapswithme</string>
    <string>osmandmaps</string>
    <string>dgis</string>
    <string>qqmap</string>
    <string>here-location</string>
</array>

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,
  );
}

Example #

Using with bottom sheet #

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

import 'package:flutter_svg/flutter_svg.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,
                          title: title,
                        ),
                        title: Text(map.mapName),
                        leading: SvgPicture.asset(
                          map.icon,
                          height: 30.0,
                          width: 30.0,
                        ),
                      ),
                  ],
                ),

          );
        },
      );
    } catch (e) {
      print(e);
    }
  }

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      home: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Map Launcher Demo'),
        ),
        body: Center(child: Builder(
          builder: (context) {
            return MaterialButton(
              onPressed: () => openMapsSheet(context),
              child: Text('Show Maps'),
            );
          },
        )),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Known issues #

  • Fixed in Google maps 11.12 Google Maps for Android have a bug that setting label for a marker doesn't work. See more on Google Issue Tracker

  • On iOS it's possible to "delete" Apple Maps which actually just removes it from homescreen and does not actually delete it. Because of that Apple Maps will always show up as available on iOS. You can read more about it here
