cordova information: (run $> cordova plugin list)

com.googlemaps.ios 2.6.0 "Google Maps SDK for iOS"

If you use @ionic-native/google-maps, please tell the package.json (only @ionic-native/core and @ionic-native/google-maps are fine mostly)

Current behavior:

setMyLocationButtonEnabled instance member is not found on @ionic-native/google-maps package. I’d like to know if there’s a workaround to make the button appear, or I’ll just have to wait for you to implement it (I can also help you doing it if you guide me).

Expected behavior:

Function found and button shown, as the ionic framework documentation says.

Screen capture or video record:

Related code, data or error log (please format your code or data):

@wf9a5m75 thanks for the insight. In my opinion Google Maps is a very important part of the mobile ecosystem so Capacitor will need to support it sooner or later otherwise people will refuse using it. I’m happy with your Google Maps plugin and I don’t consider switching to anything else.

@amsimoes You can not install the package from the git repo. You need to build the package.

The easiest solution is @battika way. Some people wants to more, they builds by themselves.

If you want to build the package, you can do like this:

$> https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-native

$> cd ionic-native

$> npm install

// (build way #A) If you use other plugins, you need to build all of them
$> npm run build

// (build way #B) If you use only google-maps, you can build only the google-maps module
$> npm run build:core && npm run build:modules google-maps

$> cd  (your project)

$> npm link (path to)ionic-native/dist/\@ionic-native/core
$> npm link (path to)ionic-native/dist/\@ionic-native/google-maps
