Using Google Maps with SAPUI5 GeoMap control

[former_member278703]

Many people seem to agree that it is possible to use Google maps as the source for a MapProvider for a GeoMap control. However, nobody seems to know what url or provider name to use. I have some code that uses HERE Maps, and it works just fine (see below). Does anyone know how to configure this to use Google Maps.

							<vk:content>
								<vbm:GeoMap id="GeoMap" width="100%" height="100%">
									<vbm:vos>
										<vbm:Spots 
											click="onClickItem" 
											contextMenu="onContextMenuItem" 
											id="caseTimeMapSpots" 
											items="{path: '/CaseEvents/results'}" 
											posChangeable="true" 
											scaleChangeable="true"
											>
											<vbm:items>
											<vbm:Spot 
												id="Spot"
												position="{Longitude};{Latitude};0" 
												tooltip="{EventName} - {path: 'EventDatetime', formatter: '.formatDate'} {path: 'EventDatetime', formatter: '.formatTime'}" 
												type="Warning"
												click="onClickSpot" 
												contextMenu="onContextMenuSpot" 
												text="{EventName}"
												scale="{path: 'DeleteInd', formatter: '.formatScale'}"
											/>
											</vbm:items>
										</vbm:Spots>
									</vbm:vos>
								</vbm:GeoMap>
							</vk:content>



			var oGeoMap = this.getView().byId("GeoMap");
			var oMapConfig = {
				"MapProvider": [{
					"name": "HEREMAPS",

			};
			oGeoMap.setMapConfiguration(oMapConfig);
			oGeoMap.setRefMapLayerStack("DEFAULT");
			oGeoMap.setInitialZoom(13);
			oGeoMap.setInitialPosition("-97.57;35.57;0");

var oMapConfig = {
				"MapProvider": [{
					"name": "GMAP",
					"Source": [{
						"id": "s1",
						"url": "https://mt.google.com/vt/lyrs=s&x={X}&y={Y}&z={LOD}"
					}]
				}],
				"MapLayerStacks": [{
					"name": "DEFAULT",
					"MapLayer": {
						"name": "layer1",
						"refMapProvider": "GMAP",
						"opacity": "1",
						"colBkgnd": "RGB(255,255,255)"
					}
				}]
			};
			oMap.setMapConfiguration(oMapConfig);
			oMap.setRefMapLayerStack("DEFAULT");

Hi,

Where i need to put the api key for google maps?

I don't think you need an API key. At least when I used it.

Best regards,
