A widget for flutter developers to easily integrate google maps in their apps. It can be used to make polylines from a source to a destination, and also handle a driver's realtime location (if any) on the map.
Features
- Make polylines (route) between two locations by providing the latitude and longitude for both the locations.
- The route is customizable in terms of color and width.
- The plugin also offers realtime location tracking for a driver(if any) and shows a marker on the map which updates everytimes the driver's location changes.
- All the markers are customizable.
- onTap callbacks are implemented for all the markers and their info windows to easily handle user interaction.
- Almost all the parameters defined in
google_maps_flutterfor theGoogleMapwidget can be passed as arguments to the widget.

android:value="YOUR KEY HERE"/>
iOS
Specify your API key in the application delegate ios/Runner/AppDelegate.m:
#include "AppDelegate.h"
#include "GeneratedPluginRegistrant.h"
#import "GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.h"
@implementation AppDelegate
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
[GMSServices provideAPIKey:@"YOUR KEY HERE"];
[GeneratedPluginRegistrant registerWithRegistry:self];
return [super application:application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:launchOptions];
}
@end
Or in your swift code, specify your API key in the application delegate ios/Runner/AppDelegate.swift:
import UIKit
import Flutter
import GoogleMaps
@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
override func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
GMSServices.provideAPIKey("YOUR KEY HERE")
GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}
}
Web

import 'package:google_maps_widget/google_maps_widget.dart';
You can now add a GoogleMapsWidget widget to your widget tree and pass all the required parameters to get started.
This widget will create a route between the source and the destination LatLng's provided.
GoogleMapsWidget(
apiKey: "YOUR KEY HERE",
sourceLatLng: LatLng(40.484000837597925, -3.369978368282318),
destinationLatLng: LatLng(40.48017307700204, -3.3618026599287987),
),
Sample Usage
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:google_maps_widget/google_maps_widget.dart';
void main() {
