The Map.getMap() is a static method. You can grab a map instance.

Description

The Map.getMap() method returns an instance of the map class. The plugin initializes the native SDK and other things, which takes a few seconds. The MAP_READY event is fired when the map is ready to go.

This plugin generates only one map instance using the Map.getMap() method. In general, you may want to create multiple maps, but this plugin doesn't allow it.

Parameters

Map.getMap(div, params);

The first parameter is checked to see if it's a dom element. If it is not a dom element it will be treated as map initialization options and the second value will be ignored. If it is a dom element it will be used and the params parameter will be set as map initialization options.

Code

var map = plugin.google.maps.Map.getMap();
map.addEventListener(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_READY, function onMapInit(map) {
  // The map is initialized, then show a map dialog
  map.showDialog();
});

Create a map with initialize options

You can intialize the map status with options. This is useful when you want to show the specific location of the map.

const GORYOKAKU_JAPAN = {"lat": 41.796875, "lng": 140.757007};

var map = plugin.google.maps.Map.getMap({
  'backgroundColor': 'white',
  'mapType': plugin.google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID,
  'controls': {
    'compass': true,
    'myLocationButton': true,
    'indoorPicker': true,
    'zoom': true
  },
  'gestures': {
    'scroll': true,
    'tilt': true,
    'rotate': true,
    'zoom': true
  },
  'camera': {
    'latLng': GORYOKAKU_JAPAN,
    'tilt': 30,
    'zoom': 15,
    'bearing': 50
  }
});
