How to Use

The GoogleMaps extension can be added to a Wisej.NET project using NuGet Package Manager.

To use the GoogleMaps extension you first need to set the ApiKey to your Google Maps API key. Configure your GoogleMaps instance by specifying MapOptions in Options property. On initial load please set GoogleMapsURL if you don´t want to use the default (//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js). This setting cannot be changed after the component has been loaded the first time.

Add markers with the AddMarker methode or define routes with AddRoute. You can also use ShowInfo to show the Google Maps info window related to a marker.

// Add a new marker
this.googleMap1.AddMarker("Marker1", "London SW1A 1AA, UK");
// Set the zoom via Options
this.googleMap1.Options.zoom = 10;

Feedback from the GoogleMaps is provided through events like MapClick, MapPropertyChanged or MarkerDrag* and MapDrag*
