@vladstelmahovsky thanks for your wonderful plugin, but I need to add more map types or styles to use in my apps

How can I support a new MapType in your plugin?

I am not sure what other types of maps does Google Map support, but I need something like what is used in Uber and other apps on Android. Is that possible?

@Yasser-Sobhy can you give an screenshot example?

@vladstelmahovsky I have read Google Static Map API at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/static-maps/intro

I think you need to add a few parameters to your plugin so maps get correctly rendered on mobile devices, these parameters are: scale, and format

also I wonder if you plan to add Bing Maps support, you can achieve this with a few changes to you Google Map plugin, as the API is almost the same https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff701724.aspx

I can create it, but I am very busy now and I have no time to do this, if you have time to write it, please do to enrich QtLocation

Thanks

@vladstelmahovsky Great work!
Is it possible to use your plugin without having a custom Qt build? Like as part of my application. assume i haven't installed the Qt sources, just .dll on my windows. If so, is there anything to pay attention to?
Thx.

@petere if you'll build and install plugin for your Qt it will be added to Qt's plugins and should be deployed later on your target (at least it works for Android)

Great. Now i understand and it works - on Windows.

@vladstelmahovsky
Why can i see no tiles at Terrain Map and no labels and streets at Satellite Map?
And which parameters are available? From your code i see:
ors.useragent
Ors.places.host
googlemaps.maps.apikey
googlemaps.maps.signature
googlemaps.maps.client
googlemaps.useragent

@petere

since the API is semiofficial, there might be different deviations
Some cleanup needed

Thanks for the google map plugin, I study this post, the codes of your plugin and got some questions

1 : All of the information of google map are obtained by static api of google map?
2 : How could we support offline routing, offline search by term? By now all of the routing information are get from the server, to implement offline routing, we need to

a : download require map, data from the server
b : write our own algorithms to search the locations by terms and routing? I guess every maps data got their own format, but the locations searching and routing algorithms should be the same?

3 : QGeoTileFetcherGooglemaps is the main class of this plugin, which in charge of create request(by static api) and get the results back by the other classes?

Thanks a lot
