Add A Map To Your Kivy App – Python Kivy GUI Tutorial #60

In this video I’ll show you how to add a map to your Kivy App.

We’ll use MapView to add a map to our Kivy app two different ways; on the Python file, and on the Kivy file.

Adding maps to our kivy app with MapView is super easy. It allows you to pinpoint locations by Latitude and Longitude.

#kivy #codemy

Python Code: map.py
GitHub Code: map.py

from kivymd.app import MDApp
from kivy_garden.mapview import MapView


class MapViewApp(MDApp):
	def build(self):
		mapview = MapView(zoom=10, lat=36, lon=-115)
		return mapview


MapViewApp().run()

Python Code: map2.py
GitHub Code: map2.py

from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivymd.app import MDApp


class MainApp(MDApp):
	def build(self):
		self.theme_cls.theme_style = "Dark"
		self.theme_cls.primary_palette = "BlueGray"
		return Builder.load_file('map2.kv')
		



MainApp().run()
