What's around me?


The MapView component from react-native-maps is the main tool you'll use to render maps in your React Native applications.

Let's implement a basic MapView component to see what we get out of the box:

import React from 'react'; 
import { 
  AppRegistry, 
  View, 
} from 'react-native'; 
import MapView from 'react-native-maps'; 
 
import styles from './styles'; 
 
const WhatsAroundMe = () => ( 
  <View style={styles.container}> 
    <MapView 
      style={styles.mapView} 
      showsUserLocation 
      followUserLocation 
    /> 
  </View> 
); 
 
AppRegistry.registerComponent( 
  'WhatsAroundMe', 
  () => WhatsAroundMe 
); 

Not much to it. The two boolean properties that you've passed to MapView do a lot of work for you. The showsUserLocation property will activate the marker on the map that denotes the physical location of the device running...
