<MapView /> Component API

Props

Prop	Type	Default	Note
provider	string		The map framework to use. Either "google" for GoogleMaps, otherwise null or undefined to use the native map framework (MapKit in iOS and GoogleMaps in android).
region	Region		The region to be displayed by the map. The region is defined by the center coordinates and the span of coordinates to display.
initialRegion	Region		The initial region to be displayed by the map. Use this prop instead of region only if you don't want to control the viewport of the map besides the initial region. Changing this prop after the component has mounted will not result in a region change. This is similar to the initialValue prop of a text input.
mapPadding	EdgePadding		Adds custom padding to each side of the map. Useful when map elements/markers are obscured. Note Google Maps only.
paddingAdjustmentBehavior	'always'	'automatic'	'never'
liteMode	Boolean	false	Enable lite mode. Note: Android only.
mapType	String	"standard"	The map type to be displayed. - standard: standard road map (default) - none: no map - satellite: satellite view - hybrid: satellite view with roads and points of interest overlayed - terrain: (Android only) topographic view - mutedStandard: more subtle, makes markers/lines pop more (iOS 11.0+ only)
customMapStyle	Array		Adds custom styling to the map component. See README for more information.
showsUserLocation	Boolean	false	If true the app will ask for the user's location. NOTE: You need to add NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription key in Info.plist to enable geolocation, otherwise it is going to fail silently! You will also need to add an explanation for why you need the users location against NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in Info.plist. Otherwise Apple may reject your app submission.
userLocationAnnotationTitle	String		The title of the annotation for current user location. This only works if showsUserLocation is true. There is a default value My Location set by MapView. Note: iOS only.
followsUserLocation	Boolean	false	If true the map will focus on the user's location. This only works if showsUserLocation is true and the user has shared their location. Note: iOS only.
showsMyLocationButton	Boolean	true	If false hide the button to move map to the current user's location.
showsPointsOfInterest	Boolean	true	If false points of interest won't be displayed on the map.
showsCompass	Boolean	true	If false compass won't be displayed on the map.
showsScale	Boolean	true	A Boolean indicating whether the map shows scale information.
showsBuildings	Boolean	true	A Boolean indicating whether the map displays extruded building information.
showsTraffic	Boolean	true	A Boolean value indicating whether the map displays traffic information.
showsIndoors	Boolean	true	A Boolean indicating whether indoor maps should be enabled.
showsIndoorLevelPicker	Boolean	false	A Boolean indicating whether indoor level picker should be enabled. Note: Google Maps only (either Android or iOS with PROVIDER_GOOGLE).
zoomEnabled	Boolean	true	If false the user won't be able to pinch/zoom the map.
zoomControlEnabled	Boolean	true	If false the zoom control at the bottom right of the map won't be visible Note: Android only.
minZoomLevel	Number	0	Minimum zoom value for the map, must be between 0 and 20
maxZoomLevel	Number	20	Maximum zoom value for the map, must be between 0 and 20
rotateEnabled	Boolean	true	If false the user won't be able to pinch/rotate the map.
scrollEnabled	Boolean	true	If false the user won't be able to change the map region being displayed.
pitchEnabled	Boolean	true	If false the user won't be able to adjust the camera’s pitch angle.
toolbarEnabled	Boolean	true	Android only If false will hide 'Navigate' and 'Open in Maps' buttons on marker press
cacheEnabled	Boolean	false	If true map will be cached and displayed as an image instead of being interactable, for performance usage.
loadingEnabled	Boolean	false	If true a loading indicator will show while the map is loading.
loadingIndicatorColor	Color	#606060	Sets loading indicator color, default to #606060.
loadingBackgroundColor	Color	#FFFFFF	Sets loading background color, default to #FFFFFF.
moveOnMarkerPress	Boolean	true	Android only If false the map won't move when a marker is pressed.
legalLabelInsets	EdgeInsets		If set, changes the position of the "Legal" label link from the OS default. Note: iOS only.
kmlSrc	string		The URL from KML file. Note: Google Maps and Markers only (either Android or iOS with PROVIDER_GOOGLE).

Events

To access event data, you will need to use e.nativeEvent. For example, onPress={e => console.log(e.nativeEvent)} will log the entire event object to your console.

Event Name	Returns	Notes
onMapReady		Callback that is called once the map is fully loaded.
onKmlReady	KmlContainer	Callback that is called once the kml is fully loaded.
onRegionChange	Region	Callback that is called continuously when the region changes, such as when a user is dragging the map.
onRegionChangeComplete	Region	Callback that is called once when the region changes, such as when the user is done moving the map.
onUserLocationChange	{ coordinate: Location }	Callback that is called when the underlying map figures our users current location (coordinate also includes isFromMockProvider value for Android API 18 and above). Make sure showsUserLocation is set to true and that the provider is "google".
onPress	{ coordinate: LatLng, position: Point }	Callback that is called when user taps on the map.
onPanDrag	{ coordinate: LatLng, position: Point }	Callback that is called when user presses and drags the map. NOTE: for iOS scrollEnabled should be set to false to trigger the event
onPoiClick	{ coordinate: LatLng, position: Point, placeId: string, name: string }	Callback that is called when user click on a POI.
onLongPress	{ coordinate: LatLng, position: Point }	Callback that is called when user makes a "long press" somewhere on the map.
onMarkerPress		Callback that is called when a marker on the map is tapped by the user.
onMarkerSelect		Callback that is called when a marker on the map becomes selected. This will be called when the callout for that marker is about to be shown. Note: iOS only.
onMarkerDeselect		Callback that is called when a marker on the map becomes deselected. This will be called when the callout for that marker is about to be hidden. Note: iOS only.
onCalloutPress		Callback that is called when a callout is tapped by the user.
onMarkerDragStart	{ coordinate: LatLng, position: Point }	Callback that is called when the user initiates a drag on a marker (if it is draggable)
onMarkerDrag	{ coordinate: LatLng, position: Point }	Callback called continuously as a marker is dragged
onMarkerDragEnd	{ coordinate: LatLng, position: Point }	Callback that is called when a drag on a marker finishes. This is usually the point you will want to setState on the marker's coordinate again

Methods

Method Name	Arguments	Notes
animateToNavigation	location: LatLng, bearing: Number, angle: Number, duration: Number
animateToRegion	region: Region, duration: Number
animateToCoordinate	coordinate: LatLng, duration: Number
animateToBearing	bearing: Number, duration: Number
animateToViewingAngle	angle: Number, duration: Number
setMapBoundaries	northEast: LatLng, southWest: LatLng	GoogleMaps only
fitToElements	animated: Boolean
fitToSuppliedMarkers	markerIDs: String[], animated: Boolean	If you need to use this in ComponentDidMount, make sure you put it in a timeout or it will cause performance problems.
fitToCoordinates	coordinates: Array<LatLng>, options: { edgePadding: EdgePadding, animated: Boolean }	If called in ComponentDidMount in android, it will cause an exception. It is recommended to call it from the MapView onLayout event.
pointForCoordinate	coordinate: LatLng	Converts a map coordinate to a view coordinate (Point). Returns a Promise<Point>.
coordinateForPoint	point: Point	Converts a view coordinate (Point) to a map coordinate. Returns a Promise<Coordinate>.
