Best Way to Access Google Maps API on QML
-
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to display a Map using the Google Maps API (GOOGLE MAPS API).
There I see that the Javascript API using HTML is quite easy.With this simple HTML file you could get the Google Maps Map:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Simple Map</title> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0"> <meta charset="utf-8"> <style> html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #map { height: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <div id="map"></div> <script> var map; function initMap() { map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { center: {lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644}, zoom: 8 }); } </script> <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap" async defer></script> </body> </html>
So, if I want to use this API in QML, which is the best way?
Using a WebView to load this HTML file?
Is there a more native way to get that?Thank you very much!

There's a contributed plugin (somewhere in the Showcase forum) that implements a plugin for the QtLocation module.

Is there a reason you want to specifically use Google Maps? There are a multitude of providers already with Qt Location, including Esri, Here, and Mapbox. In addition, Esri provides a full mapping/location SDK that goes far beyond Qt Location capabilities - https://developers.arcgis.com/qt/
