I've implemented React Native Maps and I have a basic that allows me to interact with the map as expected.
I can pan North/East/South/West without a problem. But when I zoom, it doesn't update the finer details in the map like I'd expect.
My MapView is as follows:
<MapView
provider={PROVIDER_GOOGLE}
style={styles.map}
initialRegion={initialRegion}
mapType={mapType}
onRegionChange={handleRegionChange}
onMapReady={() => {
setRegionReady(true)
}}
showsUserLocation={true}
followsUserLocation={true}
showsMyLocationButton={true}
/>
My initial region is:
const initialRegion = {
latitude: 56.55352329368351,
latitudeDelta: 10.777170227627643,
longitude: -4.6383764035999775,
longitudeDelta: 9.564308412373066,
}
Anything obvious I'm missing here?
Edit
This only seem to be an issue on simulators. Xcode/Android sims studio both show this behavior but physical devices seem to work.
I am developing an app that involves tracking another user on the user's phone. I am trying to update a marker location and display it on my user's phone. The problem is that every time I update the marker location the entire map reloads to the initial user's coordinates. How can I only rerender the marker instead of the entire map?
<View style = {styles.container}>
{!this.state.ready &&(
<ActivityIndicator size='large' color="#0000ff"/>
)}
{this.state.ready &&(
<MapView style={styles.map} region={{
latitude: this.state.where.lat,
longitude: this.state.where.lng,
latitudeDelta: 0.0922,
longitudeDelta: 0.0421 }}
showsUserLocation={true}>
{this.state.friendMarkers &&(
<MapView.Marker
coordinate={this.state.friendMarkers[0].coordinates}
title={this.state.friendMarkers[0].title}/>
)}
</MapView>
)}
</View>
Use RNLocation or Geolocation react-native package to get real-time user live location. These packages will update the user's live location without re-rendering the whole screen.
I am trying to get map view to work, when I am using the code below I can see the map at the right location but no sign to my Marker, I tried removing dark mode and giving the Marker an Image but still no result.
Maybe you can locate the problem and help me.
Thank you very much.
Using react-native with expo, testing on my IOS device.
<MapView
style={{ flex: 1 }}
initialRegion={{
latitude: 32.060797,
longitude: 34.7617,
latitudeDelta: 0.0922,
longitudeDelta: 0.0421,
}}
>
<Marker
pinColor={"#d62424"}
coordinate={{
latitude: 32.060797,
longitude: 34.7617
}}
image={require('../assets/images/icon.png')}
/>
</MapView>
Finally I found the solution, instead of using Marker just use MapView.Marker.
I hope I fixed your problem as well!
i tried to set marker in the center of the circle in MapView ,i using the same coordinate of the map and the circle but the image of marker not centralised this is the code :
<MapView
ref={(ref) => this.map = ref}
provider={MapView.PROVIDER_GOOGLE}
style={styles.map}
region={{
latitude: this.props.user.pos.lat,
longitude: this.props.user.pos.lng,
latitudeDelta: 0.015,
longitudeDelta: 0.0121,
}}>
<MapView.Circle
center={{latitude: 33.941582,
longitude: 10.066695, }}
radius={1000}
fillColor="#fed42855"
strokeColor="#fed42855" >
</MapView.Circle>
<MapView.Marker
coordinate={{
latitude: 33.941582,
longitude: 10.066695,
}}
title={"title"}
description={"description"}
image{require('../../../../../assets/navigation.png')}
/>
</MapView>
A MapView marker is displayed just above the given coordinate, since by default markers are displayed as pins and the bottom of the pin needle corresponds to the coordinate.
You can use the anchor and centerOffset props to reposition the marker according your needs. You can find the documentation here!
I've spent about 5 hours trying to get this to work with many different permutations of code, and then rebuilding. I cannot for the life of me change the default "red pointer" marker as the default marker image in react native maps.
import MapView, { PROVIDER_GOOGLE } from 'react-native-maps';
...
<MapView
provider={PROVIDER_GOOGLE}
style={styles.map}
ref={ref => {this.map = ref;}}
minZoomLevel={4} // default => 0
maxZoomLevel={10} // default => 20
enableZoomControl={true}
showsUserLocation = {true}
showsMyLocationButton = {true}
zoomEnabled = {true}
initialRegion={{
latitude: 37.600425,
longitude: -122.385861,
latitudeDelta: LATITUDE_DELTA,
longitudeDelta: LONGITUDE_DELTA,
}}
>
<MapView.Marker
coordinate={marker.location}
image={require('./images/test.png')} <------ HERE
width={48}
height={48}
/>
</MapView>
The images definitely exist in the right folder, I've tried different image formats png/gif/jpg/svg, I've tried using {{uri:...}} and icon/image, adding and removing width/height attributes. Nothing seems to work. I'm always getting the default red pointer.
Have I missed something obvious?
The project packager/compiler fails when I require an image that doesn't exist, or an unsupported type. It definitely can see the image, but just doesn't do anything with it. Same results on the emulator and on actual device.
image={require('./images/test.png')}
This line just does nothing, as if it's being ignored somehow.
<MapView
provider={PROVIDER_GOOGLE}
style={styles.container}
region={{
latitude: this.state.latitude,
longitude: this.state.longitude,
}}
>
<Marker
coordinate={{
latitude: this.state.latitude,
longitude: this.state.longitude,
}}
description={"This is a marker in React Natve"}
>
<Image source={require('./man_marker.png')} style={{height: 35, width:35 }} />
</Marker>
</MapView>
There are two solutions:
The first solution (recommended)
Resize your marker image with image editor(such as Photoshop,....) and use as icon in marker
To do this, you can make three photos of different sizes (YOUR_MARKER.png , YOUR_MARKER#2x.png , YOUR_MARKER#3x.png) (React Native automatically displays the appropriate item).
This is a good solution if you have a large number of markers.(You can refer here to clarify this)
<Marker
coordinate={ ... }
tracksViewChanges={false}
icon={require('./YOUR_MARKER.png')}
/>
The second solution
As #shubham-raitka said you can use the Image inside the marker
<Marker
coordinate={ ... }
>
<Image source={require('./YOUR_MARKER.png')} style={{height: 35, width:35 }} />
</Marker>
In this case, if your number of markers is high (about 50 or more) the map performance will be very low.Therefore, it is not recommended to use this method
Here's an approach that worked for me in a similar situation: Use Image in place of Marker. Pop-ups work the same as with a marker. If you try this, Image is imported from react-native. The actual image is imported as:
var dotImage = require('./pathToImage.png')
<Marker
coordinate={meter.latlng}
title={"Parking Meter"}
key={idx}
>
<Image
source={dotImage}
style={{height: 6, width: 6}}
/>
</Marker>
The way you give the width and height is a bit strange, please try with this way.
import MapView, { Marker, PROVIDER_GOOGLE } from 'react-native-maps';
const markerImg = require('./images/test.png'); // <-- create a const with the path of the image
<------
------>
<MapView
provider={PROVIDER_GOOGLE}
style={styles.map}
ref={ref => {this.map = ref;}}
minZoomLevel={4} // default => 0
maxZoomLevel={10} // default => 20
enableZoomControl={true}
showsUserLocation = {true}
showsMyLocationButton = {true}
zoomEnabled = {true}
initialRegion={{
latitude: 37.600425,
longitude: -122.385861,
latitudeDelta: LATITUDE_DELTA,
longitudeDelta: LONGITUDE_DELTA,
}}
>
<Marker
image={markerImg} // <----- add this the const with image
onPress={() => this.setState({ marker1: !this.state.marker1 })}
coordinate={{
latitude: 37.600425,
longitude: -122.385861,
}}
centerOffset={{ x: -18, y: -60 }}
anchor={{ x: 0.69, y: 1 }}
/>
</Marker>
</MapView>
I hope it works for you, works for me!
Not enough rep yet to just leave a comment, but the first solution works, I just had to add resizeMode or it cuts off the image if it's bigger.
<Marker
coordinate={ ... }
>
<Image source={require('./YOUR_MARKER.png')} style={{height: 35, width:35, resizeMode:"contain" }} />
</Marker>
<Marker
coordinate={d.driverLocation}
title={d.driverName}
description={d.autoNumber}
onPress={() => console.warn(d.mobaNumbers)}
image={require("../../../assets/bee.png")}
>
</Marker>
Try this it should work
import {Image} from 'react-native';
import MapView, {Marker} from 'react-native-maps';
<MapView
style={styles.mapStyle}
initialRegion={{
latitude: 37.78825,
longitude: -122.4324,
latitudeDelta: 0.0922,
longitudeDelta: 0.0421,
}}
customMapStyle={mapStyle}>
<Marker
draggable
coordinate={{
latitude: 37.78825,
longitude: -122.4324,
}}
onDragEnd={e => alert(JSON.stringify(e.nativeEvent.coordinate))}
title={'Test Marker'}
description={'This is a description of the marker'}>
<Image
source={require('./assests/custom_marker.png')}
style={{height: 35, width: 35}}
/>
</Marker>
</MapView>
