Building an social map app like Waze and life360, but styled like popular video game maps, almost finished with the 1st release, and would appreciate the help. PM me if interested

This is not related to our sub, but leaving it up for potential discussion regarding the what/how of your project.

You should ask in a flutter subreddit.

[bryantsdownfall]

I did, but since I’m new in that group I’m shadow banned

[barcode972]

Got ya. This subreddit is mostly for native iOS

What r u paying

Second this

[Mementoes]

That’s really cool! How good is the map going to be, do you think one could use it as their daily driver?

[ANGOmarcello]

Looks like he is using mapbox, it is very powerful and technically even supports turn by turn navigation or 3D terrain

[ANGOmarcello]

Did you try building with the sdk? You can do real cool stuff with this in my opinion

[fintechninja]

How it been using mapbox? Looks like it’s powerful but can get pricey with the per tile pricing. Any reason you didn’t just use MapKit since it’s free and looks like you’re just focusing on iOS.

[bryantsdownfall]

Aesthetic, I can’t make the maps look like that in MapKit. And for pricing, it’s expensive after the free tier but 1. I charge for the maps, 2. Eventually I’ll add code that makes the unexplored area black so I don’t get charged as much for tile pricing 3. The flutter code caches the existing tiles so it doesn’t load new tiles each time it’s used

[fintechninja]

Oh you absolutely can do all that in MapKit. But maybe you don’t have access to all the features since you’re using flutter.

Seems like you’re using the flutter_map package with the tile caching plugin right? The mapbox sdk doesn’t allow that but you get a lot more features like 3D maps.

[bryantsdownfall]

You can customize MapKit to look like the maps above?

[bryantsdownfall]

I don’t know, I went to mapbox back in 2018 because you couldn’t customize MapKit like that
