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:map_launcher/map_launcher.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
