## What it is
A React Native component that draws routes between two coordinates on top of react-native-maps, powered by the Google Maps Directions API. It renders a MapView.Polyline and automatically refetches directions when origin or destination changes.

## Use cases
- draw a route between two coordinates in a react native app
- show driving directions on a map in react native
- render polyline path between origin and destination
- integrate google maps directions api with react-native-maps
- display navigation route on ios and android maps
- update route line when user moves origin or destination

## When to choose
- you already use react-native-maps and need route drawing
- you want a simple drop-in component with minimal setup
- your app targets both iOS and Android with Google Maps Directions API

## When to avoid
- you need turn-by-turn navigation rather than a drawn route
- you want directions without a Google Maps API key or billing account
- you use MapKit or another mapping provider exclusively
