Google Maps

To use Google Maps API as your geocoding backend you will need to do the following:

Obtain an API key

1. First you will need to create a cloud project and enable the API

2. Create the API key

3. Copy your key

Create the Geocoder

Simple pass your API key to the Geocoder function:

val geocoder = GoogleMapsGeocoder(apiKey = "your-api-key")

// Or this helper function
val geocoder = Geocoder(apiKey = "your-api-key")

Customizing Google Maps request

The Google Maps geocoding API has some optional parameters. You can modify these by passing them into the Geocoder function:

val geocoder = GoogleMapsGeocoder(apiKey = "your-api-key") {
    locationTypes(GoogleMapsLocationType.GeometricCenter)
}
