Cordova GoogleMaps plugin for iOS and Android

This plugin is a thin wrapper for Google Maps Android API and Google Maps SDK for iOS. Both PhoneGap and Apache Cordova are supported.

Before you install, make sure you've read the instructions

$> cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googlemaps --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID="YOUR_ANDROID_API_KEY_IS_HERE" --variable API_KEY_FOR_IOS="YOUR_IOS_API_KEY_IS_HERE"

Github (current master, potentially unstable)

If you re-install the plugin, please always remove the plugin first, then remove the SDK

$> cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-googlemaps
