Creating API KEYS
In order to get started with Google Maps you first need to create an API key for your new project. To create an API key navigate to the Google Maps and click GET STARTED to step through the wizard to set up your API key. On the following screens you need to:
- Enable Google Maps API(select Maps and Places).
- Create a new project called Flutter Maps.
- Choose a billing account (don’t worry there is a free tier to use).
- Create a file => credentials.dart and put the key in : const kGoogleApiKey = 'YOUR API KEY';
- Activate the Directions API and put the key to the credentials file : const kGoogleApiKeyDirections = 'YOUR API KEY';
There you go, you can now run the project. Enjoy!
