Mapview is a Kivy widget for displaying interactive maps. It has been designed with lot of inspirations of Libchamplain and Leaflet.
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.
- 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 via
MBTilesMapSource - supports marker clustering, via
ClusteredMarkerLayer
It requires the concurrent.futures and 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.
pip install mapview
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.
