expo VS react-native-maps

I am using expo setup with tabs template.

Before we begin working on our project, we must set it up and install all the necessary dependencies. We will be using Expo for this project. Expo is a React Native management tool that handles a lot of heavy stuff for us, such as efficiently compiling code and assets, as well as provides us with a productive development environment. Also we will be using Typescript for this project, but don't worry, the process is practically identical to Javascript, so if you don't know Typescript that's fine. This article assumes some basic understanding of React and React Native , such as components, hooks and state. You must also have Node.js installed on your computer.

Expo saves us from the complex configurations required to create a native application with the React Native CLI, making it the easiest and fastest way to build and publish React Native apps.

- Try to unblock usage of Google Maps in my ReactNative Android, iOS and Web App. Context: "https://github.com/expo/expo/issues/23347#issuecomment-16264...

- Provide financial report to investors (this will likely take at least two blocks)

- Fix initial Zoom setting for Google Maps in my app for web. Context: https://github.com/teovillanueva/react-native-web-maps/issue...

- Check on analytics + user enqueries and write (back) to at least 3 of our most active users in the last couple of days

Timeblock exhausted. Posting this and jumping on first task from above.

But some bugs don't get fixed for years. E.g. there was an issue with expo-secure-store not working well on android after app reinstallatiins. It apparently got fixed now 5 years after it was reported: expo-secure-store bug

We are using the code below. And we use https://github.com/react-native-maps/react-native-maps for Maps

Now for the fun part - understanding the relevant MapView props! When reading the full MapView documentation you can see the MANY props but we will only need the following:

Are you using react-native-maps own polygons? There is a “polygon creator” example on their github: https://github.com/react-native-maps/react-native-maps/blob/master/example/src/examples/PolygonCreator.tsx

And their docsdont seem to include any draw/edit functions.

Plus google isn’t going to charge you for the google maps mobile sdk. Discussed here https://github.com/react-native-maps/react-native-maps/discussions/4278

react-native-maps offers map components for your Android or iOS application. The kit offers different types of component API such as MapView, Marker, Callout, Polygon, Polyline, Circle, and Overlay.

react-native-maps is the best option for handling location and maps in react native. you can use openstreet, google maps, apple maps, or any other tile overlay. also, it provides some good examples in its repository which covers most of the use cases.
