Google Maps SDK used to feature a Place Picker. It was deprecated and removed. There is a custom library called PING that implements similar functionality using the Geocoder API. It's expensive.

Yandex Place Picker provides you with the same functionality utilising Yandex MapKit. At no cost.

There is a capability to utilize icons, but Google's icon names differ from Yandex's (and there isn't a full list anywhere to find), which requires manual renaming of all the icons. A few of them (banks, for example) are included. Feel free to contribute with more icons.

Add the dependency to pubspec.yaml file

dependencies:
  yandex_place_picker: ^0.1.0

Sign up for MapKit API keys - How to

Follow the configuration instructions for yandex_mapkit:

1. Add import YandexMapKit to ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift
2. Add YMKMapKit.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY") inside func application in ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift
3. Specify your API key in the application delegate ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift

ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift:

import UIKit
import Flutter
import YandexMapKit

@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
  override func application(
    _ application: UIApplication,
    didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
  ) -> Bool {
    YMKMapKit.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY")
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
    return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
  }

1. Add dependency implementation 'com.yandex.android:mapkit:3.4.0' to android/app/build.gradle
2. Add import com.yandex.mapkit.MapKitFactory; to android/app/src/main/.../MainActivity.java
3. Add MapKitFactory.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY"); inside method onCreate in android/app/src/main/.../MainActivity.java
4. Specify your API key in the application delegate android/app/src/main/.../MainActivity.java

android/app/build.gradle:

dependencies {
    …
    implementation 'com.yandex.android:mapkit:3.4.0'
}

android/app/src/main/.../MainActivity.java:

import io.flutter.app.FlutterActivity;
import io.flutter.plugins.GeneratedPluginRegistrant;
import com.yandex.mapkit.MapKitFactory;

public class MainActivity extends FlutterActivity {
  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    MapKitFactory.setApiKey("YOUR_API_KEY");
    GeneratedPluginRegistrant.registerWith(this);
  }
}

Check the sample project for a full working example.

import 'package:yandex_place_picker/yandexplacepicker.dart';
…
final Place place = await YandexPlacePicker.selectPlace(context);
