Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps

日本語の README はこちら！

Yet another maps library for Xamarin.Forms that optimized for Google maps.

Usage is almost the same as Xamarin.Forms.Maps, Because this is forked from Xamarin.Forms.Maps - github

DEMO Apps

You can try DEMO Apps for Android/iOS that includes all this library features. DEMO Apps source code is here.

Motivation

The official Xamarin.Forms.Map has minumn functions only.

Especially, Bing Maps SDK is very old-fashioned because it has not vector-tile, marker's infowindow.

Android and iOS monopolize most the mobile apps market. Thus I think no need Bing maps support.

Furthermore, I am using Google Maps instead of MapKit because it is easy for define common API for Android and iOS.

Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps provides maximum Google maps features for Xamarin.Forms!!

// AppDelegate.cs
[Register("AppDelegate")]
public partial class AppDelegate : global::Xamarin.Forms.Platform.iOS.FormsApplicationDelegate
{
    public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
    {
        global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();
        Xamarin.FormsGoogleMaps.Init("your_google_maps_ios_api_key");
        LoadApplication(new App());

        return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options);
    }
}
