Place Tracker

A sample place tracking app that uses the 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.

This sample is not currently in a finished state. We're in the process of building it out. This sample currently only works on Android (see Caveat below).

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/.

Specify your API key in the application manifest android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml:

<manifest ...
  <application ...
    <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.geo.API_KEY"
               android:value="YOUR KEY HERE"/>

For additional help setting up the plugin, see the plugin's README page.

For help getting started with Flutter, view our online documentation.

Caveat

The google_maps_flutter plugin provides an unpublished preview of the Flutter API for Google Maps:

  • Dart APIs for controlling and interacting with a GoogleMap view from Flutter code are still being consolidated and expanded. The intention is to grow current coverage into a complete offering. Issues and pull requests aimed to help us prioritize and speed up this effort are very welcome.
  • Currently the plugin only supports Android as it embeds a platform view in the Flutter hierarchy which is currently only supported for Android (tracking issue).
