Mapbox Access Token

This project uses Mapbox vector tiles, which requires a Mapbox account and a Mapbox access token. Obtain a free access token on your Mapbox account page.

Even if you do not use Mapbox vector tiles but vector tiles from a different source (like self-hosted tiles) with this plugin, you will need to specify any non-empty string as Access Token as explained below!

Android

Add Mapbox read token value in the application manifest android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

  <application ...
    <meta-data android:name="com.mapbox.token" android:value="YOUR_TOKEN_HERE" />

iOS

Add these lines to your Info.plist

<key>io.flutter.embedded_views_preview</key>
<true/>
<key>MGLMapboxAccessToken</key>

Offline Sideloading

Support for offline maps is available by "side loading" the required map tiles and including them in your assets folder.

• Create your tiles package by following the guide available here.

• Place the tiles.db file generated in step one in your assets directory and add a reference to it in your pubspec.yml file.

   assets:
     - assets/cache.db

• Call installOfflineMapTiles when your application starts to copy your tiles into the location where Mapbox can access them. NOTE: This method should be called before the Map widget is loaded to prevent collisions when copying the files into place.

    try {
      await installOfflineMapTiles(join("assets", "cache.db"));
    } catch (err) {
      print(err);
    }
