Hey,

Can anyone advise about this:-

How to use google maps in Ionic 6 using Capacitor 3.

Try many old methods but not getting success!

Hello Saurbh,

i would recommended you to use native google maps plugin

or maybe you can use simple js integration of the google maps.

Stay tuned! The Capacitor team is planning on releasing @capacitor/google-maps in the near future! In the meantime, there is the @capacitor-community/google-maps plugin which is a modern, excellent alternative maintained by a community member.

Thanks for your response @abhayjani

But in Ionic 6, ionic-native lib switched to awesome-cordova lib, so the plugin has many issues and not working.

Thanks, @thomasvidas
We will try this plugin.

@Saurabh-7514 if you ever read capacitor docs. They identify that cordova plugin is just package and you still install it and use it with the capacitor.

After looking at the plugin, I would suggest that you look at your application requirements before you make a decision.

The API exposed is limited and honestly from what I have seen if you are doing more than dropping pins on a map and showing information on the pin, then you should go with the Javascript API.

This plugin is a good first step but I don’t think it is really ready for complex map implementation
