Introduction
With the Google Maps for Flutter package, you can add maps based on Google maps data to your iOS or Android application. The SDK automatically handles access to the Google Maps servers, map display, and response to user gestures such as clicks and drags. You can also add markers, polylines, ground overlays, and info windows to your map. These objects provide additional information for map locations, and allow user interaction with the map.
When using the SDK you need to comply with theGoogle Maps Platform Terms of Serviceand ensure that your app complies with applicable laws.
Flutter plugins use Dart channels to call platform-specific APIs. Flutter developers interact with a single, app-facing package. This package recognizes the platform that the app is running on and federates the API calls to the appropriate native code
