In this article, I will show you how to integrate Google Maps in Flutter to find a route between two places and calculate its distance.
The topics that I am going to cover in this article are:
- Create & set up a new Google Cloud Platform (GCP) project
- Add Google Maps SDK (for both Android & iOS) and Directions API to the GCP project
- Create an API Key on GCP
- Setup Flutter project to use Google Maps
- Add Google Maps widget
- Use Geocoding to translate coordinates into a place address and vice versa
- Use Polylines for drawing route between two places
- Calculate distance of that route
There’s a lot to learn from this article. So, bear with me and follow along.
