React Native Map Link

An easy way to open a location in a map app of the user's choice, based on the apps they have installed on their device.

Currently supported apps:

Apple Maps – apple-maps
Google Maps – google-maps
Citymapper – citymapper
Uber – uber
Lyft – lyft
Navigon – navigon
The Transit App – transit
Waze – waze
Yandex.Navi – yandex
Moovit - moovit

Installation

npm i -S react-native-map-link         # or yarn add react-native-map-link

A note about iOS 9+

As of iOS 9, your app needs to provide the LSApplicationQueriesSchemes key inside Info.plist to specify the URL schemes with which the app can interact.

Just put this in your Info.plist depending on which apps you'd like to support. Omitting these might mean that the library can't detect some of the maps apps installed by the user.

<key>LSApplicationQueriesSchemes</key>
    <array>
        <string>comgooglemaps</string>
        <string>citymapper</string>
        <string>uber</string>
        <string>lyft</string>
        <string>navigon</string>
        <string>transit</string>
        <string>waze</string>
        <string>yandexnavi</string>
        <string>moovit</string>
    </array>
