Feature Request

Possible to support google map util classes?
Which features do you want to use from the Google Maps Utility Library?
In general, almost all features of the Utility Library are not available in HMS Map Kit, therefore it is difficult to provide a clean interface in our Choice SDK which can be equally used on GMS and HMS devices.
I think for most features you would need custom GMS/HMS implementations anyway. For things like marker clustering we would need to implement custom interfaces and converters to use classes like ClusterManager, whereas HMS Map Kit only provides us with the possibility to enable clustering via setMarkersClustering(true).
However, most features can be used by providing a GoogleMap object to e.g. ClusterManager or KmlLayer.
So the best solution to use the Utility Library features is by converting our Map object to com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap, so I think we can implement something like this to provide you with a GoogleMap object:
fun at.bluesource.choicesdk.maps.common.Map.toGoogleMap(): com.google.android.gms.maps.GoogleMap
i see. that could work
Today we will release a new version of ChoiceSDK (v0.1.4), which contains this feature request. Please also refer to the updated Map documentation.
