is there a fork of googlemaps/android-maps-compose out there that supports compose multiplatform?

[xxfast]

or would I need to implement this myself with `expect`/`actual` with something like JXMapViewer for the desktop side?

[Adam Brown]

I swear I just saw a pure Compose Multiplatform map viewer a few days ago

[Adam Brown]

like.... Wings.... or something...

found it: https://github.com/WorldWindEarth/WorldWindKotlin

I guess it's not compose, just KMM

[xxfast]

yeah looking for something on compose

@Chris Arriola maybe you can chime in? but im fairly certain that having maps on desktop would be a non-starter just because compose maps just uses AndroidView under the hood.

A few projects to keep an eye out for
1. https://github.com/p-lr/MapCompose
2. https://github.com/Lewik/mapview
3. https://github.com/avdim/compose-mapview

@xxfast thanks for those links. i haven't come across them before. i wonder if any of them are clearly better than the one from the maps team

[xxfast]

the one from maps team is android only 😞

[Colton Idle]

Oh! There are multiplatform versions of gmaps?!?! 🤯

[xxfast]

not yet 🤞

[Colton Idle]

oh. you confused me with "the one from maps team is android only" lol
made it seem like some community libraries are KMP
