Google Maps on QML application to be deployed on IOS and Android

[Yashpal]

Hi folks,

What is the easiest way(s) to get the Google Maps on my QML app. Are there any QT APIs for this?

Thank You.

QtLocation module does not include Google Maps plugin. Some people have written it, though:

Some more (legal) info: see comments section under this blog post.

Thank you so much @sierdzio for the link, they are really good. Meanwhile, I tried something like this,

• Used Google Maps javascript API and embedded in WebView for both Android and IOS. What can be the potential disadvantage of this methos?

Graphical glitches - WebView can't be combined with other QML components. See the note here: http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qml-qtwebview-webview.html#details
