Has anyone tried to write a provider plugin for google maps or has anyone had any success in using the native Android MapView/MapFragment as well as iOS MapKit alongside QML in their App?

Hi,

There's a forum member that created a Google Map backend available on Github

https://github.com/vladest/googlemaps

Note: I haven't tested it.

I've suggested him to submit it for review but I don't know if he did.

Hope it helps

Samuel
