# Mapview

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/kivy-garden/garden.mapview.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/kivy-garden/garden.mapview)

Mapview is a Kivy widget for displaying interactive maps. It has been

designed with lot of inspirations of

[Libchamplain](https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/libchamplain) and

[Leaflet](http://leafletjs.com/).

The goal of this widget is to be a replacement of Google Maps widget,

even if this one works very well, it just works on Android with Kivy.

I wanted a map widget that can support custom map, and designed with

the latests state-of-the-art Kivy's methods.

# Features

* native multitouch (one for translate, many for translate and zoom)

* asynchronous downloading

* avoided GPU limitation / float precisions issues on tiles coordinates

* marker support

* blazing fast!

* supports Z/X/Y providers by default with `MapSource`

* supports [.mbtiles](http://mbtiles.org) via `MBTilesMapSource`

* supports marker clustering, via `ClusteredMarkerLayer`

# Requirements

It requires the `concurrent.futures` and `requests`. If you are on python 2.7,

you can use `futures`:

```

pip install futures requests

```

If you use it on Android / iOS, don't forget to add `openssl` as a requirements,

otherwise you'll have an issue when importing `urllib3` from `requests`.

# Install

Install the mapview garden module using the `garden` tool:

```

garden install mapview

```

# Usage

This widget can be either used within Python or Kv. That's said, not

everything can be done in Kv, to prevent too much computing.

```python

from kivy.garden.mapview import MapView

from kivy.app import App

class MapViewApp(App):

    def build(self):

        mapview = MapView(zoom=11, lat=50.6394, lon=3.057)

        return mapview

MapViewApp().run()

```

More extensive documentation will come soon.
