Can we expect MapView for Android soon?

[nbastoWM]

I read sometime ago that MapView would come for Android with the latest RN 0.17 but that still didn't happen. Can we expect it soon? That would be awesome!

Hey nbastoWM, thanks for reporting this issue!

React Native, as you've probably heard, is getting really popular and truth is we're getting a bit overwhelmed by the activity surrounding it. There are just too many issues for us to manage properly.

• If you don't know how to do something or something is not working as you expect but not sure it's a bug, please ask on StackOverflow with the tag react-native or for more real time interactions, ask on Discord in the #react-native channel.
• If this is a feature request or a bug that you would like to be fixed, please report it on Product Pains. It has a ranking feature that lets us focus on the most important issues the community is experiencing.
• We welcome clear issues and PRs that are ready for in-depth discussion. Please provide screenshots where appropriate and always mention the version of React Native you're using. Thank you for your contributions!

/cc @mkonicek Any ideas?

I recently came across this that looks very promising. https://github.com/lelandrichardson/react-native-mapview

Yes so that module is totally awesome and now we just need to decide whether to open source the internal one that we use in fb apps or bring that one it. See https://github.com/lelandrichardson/react-native-mapview/issues/2

Closing this as it's a question rather than a bug but we can keep discussing here.
