  • MAU pricing questions
    2 projects | /r/mapbox | 2 Dec 2022
    1) I would like to use the Maps SDKs for Mobile pricing, so 25k MAU(monthly active users) free tier. If I have understood correctly I have to use the Mapbox Sdk for iOS and Android, in my case the flutter port(https://github.com/flutter-mapbox-gl/maps). So I think flutter_map(leaflet based) is not compatible with this type of pricing, right? But I was wondering if the open source maplibre(https://github.com/m0nac0/flutter-maplibre-gl) is ok for this type of pricing.

  • Max zoom levels?
    2 projects | /r/mapbox | 26 Mar 2022
    Yes, I'm using the Flutter MapBox GL project (that uses the native implementation, which is mostly written in C++). I'm using vector tiles, and it's getting down to 1.35cm/pixel for iOS and .12cm/pixel for Android at my latitude; I believe this is level 22 for iOS and 25.5 for Android.
  • Flutter for a map focused app?

    For Google Maps this seems to be the official package by Google, this one seems to be the official Mapbox package. Mapbox already states that their package only exposes a small subset of API methods in its flutter SDK, how is it with Google Maps? How limited are the Packages in terms of

  • Need help implementing google maps

    Then watchPosition from @react-native-community/geolocation is definitely the way to go. Here's a link to the example in their repo. This will constantly update the position state variable, which you can then send to a realtime service which other users are subscribed to and consuming. (Depending on your implementation, could be a websocket or some pub/sub service... I've worked with Pusher Channels before for something similar.)
  • Will ReactNative Give User's Phone Location?
    2 projects | /r/reactnative | 30 Sep 2022
    For location, you can use the [geolocation library](https://github.com/michalchudziak/react-native-geolocation). If for some reason the user blocks this permission, a neat little trick is to call this API, [https://ipapi.co/json/\]([https://ipapi.co/json/](https://ipapi.co/json/)). They will get the users Longitude and Latitude based on the requesting IP. Of course, that will be masked if they have a VPN running. But it is a second attempt at getting a location.
