What is v3-gmaps?

v3-gmaps is a component-based Google Maps API for Vue, and is the Vue 3 version of x5-gmaps.

Improvements Over x5-gmaps

  • It uses (and supports) Vue 3 which is so much better than Vue 2.
  • It is fully typed, and being Vue 3 the Typescript support is way better.
  • It has proper ES6 module support, which means you only import what you use.
  • It uses the latest Google Maps API, and the flexible Options prop allows for automatic future compatibility.
  • It's what will be more actively developed and supported.

What are the future plans?

  • Find contributors - we need a community to keep this active and remove any owner bottlenecks.
  • Add other language support (e.g. Chinese).
  • Add Data layer support (the only x5-gmaps feature that's missing).
  • Expand support for other Google Maps API's.
