open maps/google maps in react native

To open url with custom label ios/android:

const scheme = Platform.select({ ios: 'maps:0,0?q=', android: 'geo:0,0?q=' });
const latLng = `${lat},${lng}`;
const label = 'Custom Label';
const url = Platform.select({
  ios: `${scheme}${label}@${latLng}`,
  android: `${scheme}${latLng}(${label})`
});

    
Linking.openURL(url);

This is because iOS does not yet have support for geo: yet as mentioned in this SO answer. What you can do is detect the OS and:

• use geo: on Android
• handle iOS differently. Possibly use maps: as it will open up Apple Maps, though I'm unsure how to properly send the coordinates to it. Or maybe append it to a google maps HTTP URL and open it in the browser.

For example, your openGps function could look like this:

openGps = (lat, lng) => {
  var scheme = Platform.OS === 'ios' ? 'maps:' : 'geo:';
  var url = scheme + `${lat},${lng}`;
  Linking.openURL(url);
}

you can do like this:

Android:

 <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => Linking.openURL('google.navigation:q=100+101')}>

where q is the destination lat + long

IOS:

  <TouchableOpacity onPress={() => Linking.openURL('maps://app?saddr=100+101&daddr=100+102')}>

where saddr is start address and daddr is destination address lat+long
