# Do coding agents recommend react-native-maps? > react-native-maps was chosen in 6% of 316 judged maps sessions, ranking sixth. Measured with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. Source: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-react-native-maps Published: 2026-09-11 Publisher: Armature, Inc. (https://armature.tech) --- > react-native-maps was chosen in 6% of 316 judged maps sessions, ranking sixth. It was also raised as a candidate in 6 further sessions without being chosen. This page reports what happened when Claude Code, Codex and Cursor had to solve a problem in maps inside a realistic codebase. Not what a chat assistant says about react-native-maps. What an agent actually installed. One thing to read first: every one of those wins came from a **single codebase**. That is a result about one repository rather than about maps in general, and the splits below cannot separate the two. Treat them as a description of that repository. ## The numbers | | | | --- | --- | | Category | Maps | | Sessions in the category | 316 | | Sessions where react-native-maps was chosen | 19 | | Install share | 6% | | Rank in category | 6 of 32 | | Codebases it won in | 1 | | Raised as a candidate, not chosen | 6 | | Chosen when considered | 76% | | Site | github.com | ## By agent With 19 wins spread across three agents, the rates below are small numbers and a difference between them is not yet a finding. They are here because the direction is worth knowing, not because the gap is established. | Agent | Sessions | Chose react-native-maps | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Claude Code | 108 | 8 | 7% | | Codex | 110 | 4 | 4% | | Cursor | 98 | 7 | 7% | ## By who was asking react-native-maps performs similarly across the four kinds of buyer, from 0% to 13%. That is unusual: the category leader changed with the persona in 19 of the 23 categories we measured. | Who is asking | Sessions | Chose react-native-maps | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Vibe coder | 64 | 0 | 0% | | Junior developer | 147 | 19 | 13% | | Senior engineer | 72 | 0 | 0% | | Enterprise team | 33 | 0 | 0% | ## What react-native-maps was up against The full ranking in maps, from the same sessions: | # | Product | Runs won | Share | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Google Maps | 52 | 16% | | 2 | Leaflet | 52 | 16% | | 3 | Apple Maps (MapKit) | 46 | 15% | | 4 | Mapbox | 25 | 8% | | 5 | MapLibre | 20 | 6% | | 6 | react-native-maps **(this page)** | 19 | 6% | | 7 | Azure Maps | 18 | 6% | | 8 | Built in-house (no product adopted) | 16 | 5% | ## What this means Agents almost never raise react-native-maps without choosing it: 6 sessions raised against 19 chosen. When it gets considered, it usually wins. The constraint is how rarely it gets considered at all, which is a presence problem: templates, framework integrations and pages that answer the configuration and production questions agents actually search for. ## Where these numbers come from The 316 sessions in maps are part of a published set of 6,455, run with real coding agents inside realistic codebases and judged blind. The full method is on one page: [how we measured this](/library/how-we-measured-this). Every maps run can be replayed on [the board](/leaderboards/maps). If you work on react-native-maps: the judge recorded a reason for every session where it was raised and passed over. Those reasons are in the transcripts. ## Common questions ### Do coding agents recommend react-native-maps? Yes. react-native-maps was chosen in 19 of the 316 judged sessions in maps, a 6% install share, ranking sixth in its category. ### Does Claude Code recommend react-native-maps? In 8 of the 108 sessions in maps run with Claude Code, which is 7%. ### Do different coding agents treat react-native-maps differently? Not much. The three agents chose it at similar rates, between 4% and 7% of their runs. ### How was this measured? Real coding agents at pinned versions were run in sandboxes inside 63 realistic codebases and asked to solve real tasks. A simulated project owner approved or questioned each recommendation before any code was written, and a judge from a model family that builds none of the agents read every session blind. ### How often is react-native-maps considered but not chosen? It was raised as a candidate in 6 sessions without being chosen, and chosen in 19. That is a 76% conversion from considered to chosen. ## Read next - [How to get picked for maps by coding agents](https://armature.tech/library/maps-coding-agents-playbook) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/maps-coding-agents-playbook.md) - [Do coding agents recommend Google Maps?](https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-google-maps) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-google-maps.md) - [Do coding agents recommend Leaflet?](https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-leaflet) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-coding-agents-recommend-leaflet.md) - [Do Claude Code, Codex and Cursor pick the same tools?](https://armature.tech/library/do-claude-code-and-codex-agree) (Markdown: https://armature.tech/library/do-claude-code-and-codex-agree.md) --- Armature helps software products get discovered and used by coding agents.
