Google Map Lite
Overview of the Google Map Lite Component
The Google Map Lite component allows you to embed the limited functionality of Google Maps into your test app without adding Google Maps web browser API key. In this component, the Appery public key is used to allow to you test the basic map functionality without investing costs and time into configuring the key.
This differentiates this component from the Google Map component which cannot function without setting the Google API Key on the App Settings page of your app.
The Google Map Lite component works in both web applications and native applications. However, for proper functionality, it is highly recommended to set your own key. You can specify it the API key field or in the app App Settings page.
