Using Google maps with Xamarin on Windows


Is it possible to use Google maps on Windows?

I'm familiar with Xamarin.Forms.Maps but it uses Bing maps on Windows. Is there a way to use Google maps on both operating systems? If not is the cause technical or legal (licensing issues)?


Solution

  • No we can't.

    Because Google does not provide "Native" maps SDK for Windows. They has native maps SDK only for Android and iOS or some API for the web.
