Description

Hello, I am currently developing a .net maui app that uses the maui maps library with google maps api. I have searched for how to get googles Places API to work, but i cant find any documentation on this. If a user clicks a "point of interest" of place you would get rating and details of the place. this is the link to the documentation https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service Can somone point me in the right direction?

Hi @BroomTank

So at a glance it'll be a case of using the MapClicked event to get Location data, then hitting up the REST API with the required data and processing the response. The issue then depends on where you're trying to display the data you've got back? Do you want to overlay it on the map?
