@vladstelmahovsky 1st implementation of GoogleMaps plugin can be found here
So far only routing implemented
Tiles, geocode, places in TODO

Google maps updated with tiles maps support
Due to copyright string gets injected in each tile, the map itself looks...hmm..ugly
Also its quite easy to reach requests day limit (25000/day), so be careful
Plugin sources available here

It seems, there is a bug/design decision in QMapScene/Tile rendering engine which makes usage tiles with size differ from 256x256 impossible. correct me if I'm wrong

SGaist

Shouldn't setTileSize allow to change that ?

vladstelmahovsky

@SGaist yes, it changed, but it seems, x and y values of requested QGeoTileSpec's almost the same
Or I'm doing something wrong or math behind thist sticked to tiles 256x256

@vladstelmahovsky GoogleMaps plugin updated with new tiles engine, w/o annoying copyright on every tile (this doesnt means that you dont have to put copyright sign over the map)

SGaist

Nice !

Did you solve the tiling size issue ?

vladstelmahovsky

@SGaist nope. I think its hardcoded somewhere in tile renderer. But with new code its not needed anymore

SGaist

That's a good news :)

My project works with "osm" and "here" plugins provided by qt. How do we add this plugin to the project. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated!

SGaist

Hi,

Build and install the plugin. It should go on the corresponding subfolder in your Qt installation. From there you can use it like the other plugins.

@SGaist

Even I was trying the same but it is giving me this dialogbox.

vladstelmahovsky

@saitej this is because you trying to execute plugin which is impossible of cause. Choose your application as active project
When building plugins dont forget to add "make install" step to the project settings to make sure your plugin will be integrated into current Qt build

vladstelmahovsky

Btw, any1 interested in TomTom maps support?

saitej

@vladstelmahovsky

vladstelmahovsky

vladstelmahovsky

vladstelmahovsky

@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?
