react-native-map-link Pass an address as a parameter instead of a long-lat parameters

can we passe an adresse as a paramater instead of a long-lat parameters ?

Hi, can we bump this?

Often users enter 'almost' addresses without accepting auto-matched suggestions, meaning we dont have lat/lng available, even though the entered text is sufficient for maps to work out where it is.

This is a pretty important quality of life option

Has any thought or effort gone into this? It started almost 2 years ago! Without being able to pass the address, this library is pretty useless unless you have the latitude and longitude coordinates.

It's not a use case I personally have, because I want to send users to a specific location rather than doing a search, but I can understand why that would be useful.

I'm still happy to accept a PR for that functionality if you'd like to add it!

I've created a PR for this new functionality. I would love to have others check out the changes, test it out, etc... then if we look good, let's merge it into master!
