# 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 . ### Android Specify your API key in the application manifest `android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml`: ```xml ``` ### 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) } } ``` ### Web Add your API key to `web/index.html` in the `` tag: ``` ``` For additional help setting up the plugin, see the plugin's [README](https://pub.dev/packages/google_maps_flutter) page.
