In this chapter, you'll learn about the geolocation and mapping capabilities of React Native. You'll start learning by how to use the geolocation API; then you'll move on to using the MapView component to plot points of interest and regions.
You'll use the react-native-maps package to implement maps. The goal of this chapter is to go over what's available in React Native for geolocation and in React Native Maps for maps. You'll find the following section headings in this chapter:
- Where am I?
- What's around me?
- Annotating points of interest
