If you’re creating any sort of app that involves getting your users from one place to another then good map integration is a must. Here are the 15 best Android app templates with map integration to be found at CodeCanyon.
App templates are a great solution for inexperienced coders who want to create apps but don’t have the skill to do so yet. This is because they already have core functions implemented, so you can customise the app easily and add the elements you think are most important to the app's code. This makes it quicker and easier to create the product you want. In addition, app templates are a great way to learn more about coding and perfect your skills.
Whether you’re interested in building a store, restaurant or city guide app or creating a booking app, take a look below to see some of the best templates with map integration currently available.
1. City Guide
Create your own handy travel guide app for the city of your choice with the City Guide Android app template. The template, which was developed in Android Studio and styled with Material Design, doesn’t require programming skills to use, and with just one config file to set up, is easy to configure and customise.
You can organise your chosen city highlights in categories like attractions, sports, hotels, nightlife, etc. These chosen highlights can also be viewed as clickable spots on an interactive map which uses geolocation to identify your phone’s current position and distance from each highlight.
Other great features:
- eight colour themes to choose from
- photos can be added to each city highlight
- Google Analytics shows you how people are using your app
- you can monetise your app with AdMob
- and more

“Great start point to build your own app (if you know coding) or to use as it is to create a simple basic app with the provided functionality with limited or even no knowledge of coding. Great work! Coding structure is clear.”
2. Taxi Booking
Uber has completely revolutionised the concept of taxi services and spawned a slew of localised enterprises around the globe that use technology to reach potential clients needing taxi services.
If you are looking to create an app with Google map integration, to go along with your Uber-type taxi service, check out the Taxi Booking app template. The app allows both passenger and driver login.
Passengers are able to automatically assign their order to the nearest driver, calculate fare based on distance, cancel a booking, map the route directions from start to drop off, and more. Drivers, on the other hand, can change their availability mode to free or busy, receive instant notification when new requests come in from passengers, map the easiest and fastest route from pickup to drop off, mark a ride as complete, and more.
Other great features:
- web admin panel
- ability to customise both driver and passenger interface
- ability to track drivers’ movements
- track job details of every driver
- and more

“I am really satisfied with this application. The code is very clean, easy to read. Even though I am new to Android development, still I was able to customize it adding many features to my business specifically. My business work with 3 different automobiles: motorbike, cars and vans. I could add different icons to each one of them. I added navigation to driver interface and many more. All of that with very basic knowledge of the Android's programming languages. The author was supportive as well. I have 70+ emails reply from the author on my gmail. For all of those reasons mentioned above, I am giving this 5 stars review.”
3. Wheres My Places
Wheres My Places is similar to City Guide above, but the template’s developers are pitching it more as an app for locals rather than visitors to find things like the nearest bank, cafe, hospital, store, etc.
Having said that, there’s nothing stopping developers from adapting it in any way you want. One of the most useful aspects of this app template is that it integrates a great map tool which tells users their distance from their selected destination and estimates the time it will take them to get there. It also acts as a great navigation tool directing users through the streets, so there’s never a worry of getting lost in an unfamiliar location.
Other great features:
- each location comes with full details including address, phone number, map direction, images, user review, etc.
- results can be sorted by distance or rating
- add any location to a favourites list
- supports Google Voice
- and more
