Map not fully initialised on Nexus 5/Android 5 Lollipop

See original GitHub issue

Hey! I’ve developed an app using Cordova and this fantastic plugin. It works fine on my physical test devices (both running 4.4.2 KitKat), and in the simulator (Genymotion, Nexus 5 Android 5.0.0. Lollipop image). However, I received a report including screenshots that the map does not fully load on Android 5 Lollipop on the Nexus 5 (which it does in simulation). Map not fully initialised It partially loads, i.e. it shows the +/- buttons to zoom, but no map tiles are loaded. Internet connection on the device is on since the other features work and load data from the internet. Unfortunately, I do not see the debug output (errors, etc.) since I do not have the device here. Are there any known issues/incompatibilities with Nexus 5/Android 5 Lollipop that do not surface in a simulator?

NB: It works with Google Play Services version …-470, and fails with …-438.
