mapbox_maps_flutter #

Official Mapbox Maps SDK for Flutter. Add a MapWidget to your app. It renders native, GPU-accelerated, cross-platform maps on Android, iOS, and Web. It builds maps from Mapbox Vector Tiles (MVT), GeoJSON, and other data sources. Use a ready-made style, such as Standard, Satellite, or Streets. Or use your own custom style, with layer types such as circle, line, fill, raster, heatmap, hillshade, sky, and 3D fill-extrusion. Add map markers and other annotations, with marker clustering for large datasets. Show a live location puck, and control the camera with gestures. Listen for map, camera, and style events. On Android and iOS, you can also cache maps for offline use and take a map snapshot.

This is the app-facing plugin package. It endorses:

• mapbox_maps_flutter_mobile for Android and iOS.
• mapbox_maps_flutter_web for Web.

Requirements #

• Flutter 3.38.1 / Dart 3.10.0 or higher
• Android: minSdk 21 or higher
• iOS: 14 or higher
• Web: Mapbox GL JS 3.29.0

Installation #

1. Add the dependency #

dependencies:
  mapbox_maps_flutter: ^3.0.0-alpha.29

Then run flutter pub get.

2. Configure your access token #

Set a Mapbox access token once at app startup, before creating any MapWidget:

import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
import 'package:mapbox_maps_flutter/mapbox_maps_flutter.dart';

void main() {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  MapboxOptions.setAccessToken(const String.fromEnvironment('ACCESS_TOKEN'));
  runApp(const MyApp());
}

Pass the token via --dart-define:

flutter run --dart-define=ACCESS_TOKEN=<your token>

See the access token docs for how to provision tokens and scopes.

3. Platform setup #

Android — add to android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml if you use the location component:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />

iOS — add to ios/Runner/Info.plist if you use the location component:

<key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key>
<string>Explain why your app needs location access.</string>

Web — no setup needed: Mapbox GL JS is loaded automatically. If your app has a strict Content-Security-Policy, allow script/style sources from api.mapbox.com.

4. Add a map #

import 'package:flutter/widgets.dart';
import 'package:mapbox_maps_flutter/mapbox_maps_flutter.dart';

class MapScreen extends StatelessWidget {
  const MapScreen({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MapWidget();
  }
}

For the full API surface — camera, gestures, styles, sources and layers, annotations, viewport, location component — see the platform package READMEs linked above.
