Support for Ground Overlays

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

Feature Request

Plugin

Google Maps Plugin

Description

I was wondering if there are any plans to support the Ground Overlay feature for Google Maps SDK. More information for the feature are here...

iOS: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/ios-sdk/overlays

Android: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/reference/com/google/android/libraries/maps/model/GroundOverlay

Platform(s)

Android iOS Web

Preferred Solution

The cordova plugin for google maps had an addGroundOverlay function. var groundOverlay = map.addGroundOverlay({ 'url': "../images/newark_nj_1922.jpg", 'bounds': bounds, 'opacity': 0.5 });

Alternatives

I am open to any alternatives. I would just like the ability to add a Ground Overlay

Hi @KimberleeDArmstrong did you find any workaround to this?

[KimberleeDArmstrong]

@ikenna042 I have not. This is the one thing that is keeping us from moving from Cordova to Ionic Capacitor, unfortunately

ive successfully created the add ground overlays for all 3 platforms. happy to share if someone wants to update the repo.

@dpetraz That's great news. We would be interested in that for sure. @Ionitron any possiblilty of getting this in the build?

I need this function too, @dpetraz / @Ionitron any news on this topic? How did you perform the new function? Do you have any branch to fork?

[dpetraz]

I don't have a fork that I can provide, but I've packaged the helper functions which you may find helpful. the code is ugly and unconventional, but it does the job. helperfunctions.txt
