Please talk to both Beatrice and Erin first to determine what the functional & UI requirements are for the map. Document it and add it to the team notion so other devs are clear about what's needed

Then do some research into potential solutions that can show an interactive map with custom overlays (parking spots). Some potential ideas (check out some other ones too):

https://www.mapbox.com/ (probably best)
https://developers.google.com/maps

The interactive map would have either the person's chosen location or current location.
[CLICKABLE] Some type of graphic (most likely a car or animal) with a price tag indicating that there is an available spot
Once the spot is clicked on, there should be a box for more information (address, price, distance, etc) and then there would likely be another option to view more details & to reserve it
There also would likely be a filter option for users to look for specifics (indoor/outdoor, price, sizing limits, accessible options, etc)
The map should also have a button so that they can go back to their chosen/current location

OpenStreetMaps seems like the best and most viable solution.

MapBox: Pro: Larger UI and Sprites library with clearer documentation and modern UI. Pro: Direct integration with React Native Con: Paid over 50k map loads

OpenStreetMaps: Pro: OpenSource, larger library and continuous updates Con: React native integration is open source

Use Following Documentation for Open Street Maps (OSM): https://github.com/react-native-maps/react-native-maps#using-a-custom-tile-overlay
