I just want to know why native google maps is removed for ionic docs. Now how could we use native google maps in the app. ---

This is the main contributor of the `@ionic-native/google-maps` (aka, the author of cordova-plugin-googlemaps) The `@ionic-native/google-maps` moved out from the main repo to new repo, because of several reasons. New document is here. > ---

@wf9a5m75, will native google map come back to ionic in future? ---

I hope it returns… or at least give us native mapbox. ---

The Google Maps JavaScript API works in both Hybrid Mobile Apps and PWAs. See: - [https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/) - [https://github.com/SebastianM/angular-google-maps](https://github.com/SebastianM/angular-google-maps) For example: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/ionicframework/original/3X/6/6/66cfd08fa84d996509ee35d2f98c5c1a9c154144.jpg) ---

Angular Google Maps looks awesome. ---

@jamesharvey @tonystark007 You misunderstand. The `@ionic-native/google-maps` is still member of the `@ionic-native` family. But the repository is separated. Because of this, the document is not generated automatically, thus you can not see the name in the list. You can use `@ionic-native/google-maps` as well as you do before. I guarantee the behavior to work with the latest `@ionic-native/core`. * * * @robinyo JS API is slow on native app, and it does not work in offline. ---

You can use Ionic to build **Hybrid Mobile** Apps (i.e., an app that uses Cordova plugins) and **Progressive Web** Apps (i.e., an app that doesn’t use Cordova plugins). ---

I believe all ionic users know about that without gentle guide. ---

Does this Google maps plugin support capacitor? ---

No plan for support the capacitor. ---

Capacitor has a cordova plugin layer… and they’re planning ionic native support. Please help us using google maps native on capacitor. ---

The Capacitor team says “the cordova plugin layer does not guarantee the compatibility with actual Cordova, including installation”. I talked with the team couple of times, but they won’t fix the installation problem. So I won’t support until they fix it. ---

Too bad. Capacitor and Ionic 4 seem to be much faster than Cordova with Ionic 3. ---

The Capacitor is even stable version, it’s still beta version. I don’t want to be at the mercy of the troubles, such as internal implementation changed suddenly. ---

Agreed. Let’s wait and see what happens in the next few months. ---
