What it does

Flask-GoogleMaps allows you to easily integrate Google Maps into your Flask web application

Install / run

pip install Flask-GoogleMaps

When to use it

•When you need to display location-based data on a map in your Flask app
•When you want to provide directions or geolocation services to your users
•When you need to visualize geographic data, such as store locations or delivery areas

Quick start

1Import the extension in your Flask app with `from flask_googlemaps import GoogleMaps`
2Initialize the extension with `GoogleMaps(app, key='YOUR_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY')`
3Use the `Map` function to create a map, such as `map = Map(identifier='map', lat=37.4419, lng=-122.1419, markers=[(37.4419, -122.1419)])`
4Render the map in your template with `{{ map.html }}`
5Configure the map settings, such as the zoom level and map type, using the `Map` function's arguments

Ready-to-paste prompt

Map(map = Map(identifier='map', lat=37.4419, lng=-122.1419, markers=[(37.4419, -122.1419)], zoom=15, maptype='TERRAIN'))

Heads up: You need a valid Google Maps API key to use Flask-GoogleMaps, which requires a Google Cloud account and enabling the Google Maps JavaScript API
