# Place Tracker
A sample place tracking app that uses the
[google_maps_flutter](https://github.com/flutter/plugins/tree/master/packages/google_maps_flutter)
plugin. Keep track of your favorite places, places you've visited, and places
you want to go. View details about these places, show them on a map, and get
directions to them.
## Goals
* Learn how to create an interface composed of GoogleMap and other widgets.
* Learn how to show, control, and modify a GoogleMap widget.
* Learn how to place a marker on a map.
## The important bits
### `place_map.dart`
This page shows a full-screen GoogleMap widget with place markers. Provides
examples of how to stack other widgets on top of a GoogleMap widget, how to add
markers to a map, and how to make other flutter widgets interact with the
GoogleMap widget.
### `place_details.dart`
This page shows a detailed view of a single place. Provides examples of how to
place a GoogleMap widget inside of a ListView and how to disable certain touch
gestures on the map.
## Getting Started
To run this sample app, you will need an API key.
Get an API key at <https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/>.
### Android
Specify your API key in the application manifest
`android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`:
```xml
<manifest ...
<application ...
<meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
android:value="YOUR KEY HERE"/>
```
### iOS
Specify your API key in `AppDelegate.swift`:
```swift
@UIApplicationMain
@objc class AppDelegate: FlutterAppDelegate {
override func application(
_ application: UIApplication,
didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]?
) -> Bool {
GMSServices.provideAPIKey("YOUR API KEY HERE")
GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register(with: self)
return super.application(application, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: launchOptions)
}
}
```
For additional help setting up the plugin, see the plugin's
[README](https://pub.dev/packages/google_maps_flutter)
page.

## Caveat
The google_maps_flutter plugin is in developer preview until [dynamic thread
merging](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/projects/155) is finished.
