google_maps_flutter_web

The web implementation of google_maps_flutter.

Powered by a14n's google_maps Dart JS interop layer.

Usage

This package is endorsed, which means you can simply use google_maps_flutter normally. This package will be automatically included in your app when you do, so you do not need to add it to your pubspec.yaml.

However, if you import this package to use any of its APIs directly, you should add it to your pubspec.yaml as usual.

Modify web/index.html

Get an API Key for Google Maps JavaScript API. Get started here.

Modify the <head> tag of your web/index.html to load the Google Maps JavaScript API, like so:

<head>

  <!-- // Other stuff -->

  <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>
</head>

The Google Maps Web SDK splits some of its functionality in separate libraries.

If your app needs the drawing library (to draw polygons, rectangles, polylines, circles or markers on a map), include it like this:

<script
  src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=drawing">
</script>

To request multiple libraries, separate them with commas:

<script
  src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=drawing,visualization,places">
</script>

Now you should be able to use the Google Maps plugin normally.

Limitations of the web version

The following map options are not available in web, because the map doesn't rotate there:

  • compassEnabled
  • rotateGesturesEnabled
  • tiltGesturesEnabled

There's no “Map Toolbar” in web, so the mapToolbarEnabled option is unused.

There's no “My Location” widget in web (tracking issue), so the following options are ignored, for now:

  • myLocationButtonEnabled
  • myLocationEnabled

There's no defaultMarkerWithHue in web. If you need colored pins/markers, you may need to use your own asset images.

Indoor and building layers are still not available on the web. Traffic is.

Only Android supports “Lite Mode”, so the liteModeEnabled constructor argument can't be set to true on web apps.

Google Maps for web uses HtmlElementView to render maps. When a GoogleMap is stacked below other widgets, package:pointer_interceptor must be used to capture mouse events on the Flutter overlays. See issue #73830.
