How to Implement Google Maps in Flutter for Linux Without an API Key | Polyline, Marker & Distance

In this video, I show you how to integrate Google Maps into your Flutter app for the Linux operating system. We’ll explore adding polylines, markers, and calculating distances between source and destination without the need for an API key. Since the default Google Maps package doesn’t support Linux, I’ll guide you through alternative methods using OpenStreetMap. Watch till the end as I troubleshoot issues with ChatGPT and ensure the code runs smoothly!

Key Highlights:
👉 Setting up Google Maps alternative for Linux in Flutter
👉 Using OpenStreetMap to avoid API key requirements
👉 Drawing polylines between source and destination
👉 Handling static location data due to lack of dynamic packages
👉 Troubleshooting with ChatGPT for better results
👉 Calculating distances between two points in your map
