To add a grid to a Google Map in Flutter, you can use the SizedBox
and CustomPaint
widgets to create a custom grid overlay. Here are the steps to do so:
Create a new StatefulWidget
that will hold the Google Map and the grid overlay.
In the build
method of the widget, add a GoogleMap
widget to display the map.
Create a CustomPaint
widget that will draw the grid overlay on top of the Google Map.
In the CustomPaint
widget's paint
method, use a Canvas
object to draw the grid lines.
Add the CustomPaint
widget as a child of a SizedBox
to set the size of the grid overlay.
Add the SizedBox
widget as a child of a Stack
to position the grid overlay on top of the Google Map.
Here's some sample code to get started:
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:google_maps_flutter/google_maps_flutter.dart';
class MyMapScreen extends StatefulWidget {
@override
_MyMapScreenState createState() => _MyMapScreenState();
}
class _MyMapScreenState extends State<MyMapScreen> {
final Set<Marker> _markers = {};
GoogleMapController _mapController;
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
return Scaffold(
appBar: AppBar(title: Text('Map with Grid Overlay')),
body: Stack(
children: [
GoogleMap(
initialCameraPosition:
CameraPosition(target: LatLng(37.422, -122.084), zoom: 10),
markers: _markers,
onMapCreated: (controller) => _mapController = controller,
),
SizedBox(
width: double.infinity,
height: double.infinity,
child: CustomPaint(
painter: GridPainter(
mapController: _mapController,
gridSize: 2, // adjust the size of the grid squares
),
),
),
],
),
);
}
}
class GridPainter extends CustomPainter {
final GoogleMapController mapController;
final double gridSize;
GridPainter({@required this.mapController, @required this.gridSize});
@override
void paint(Canvas canvas, Size size) {
final screenTopLeft =
mapController.getLatLng(ScreenCoordinate(x: 0, y: 0));
final screenBottomRight =
mapController.getLatLng(ScreenCoordinate(x: size.width.toInt(), y: size.height.toInt()));
// Align the start of the gridlines with the top-left corner of the screen.
final latStart = screenTopLeft.latitude - (screenTopLeft.latitude % gridSize);
final lngStart = screenTopLeft.longitude - (screenTopLeft.longitude % gridSize);
final paint = Paint()
..color = Colors.grey
..strokeWidth = 1;
// Draw vertical lines
for (var lng = lngStart; lng < screenBottomRight.longitude; lng += gridSize) {
final screenTop = mapController.getScreenCoordinate(LatLng(latStart, lng)).y.toDouble();
final screenBottom = mapController.getScreenCoordinate(LatLng(screenBottomRight.latitude, lng)).y.toDouble();
canvas.drawLine(Offset(0, screenTop), Offset(size.width, screenBottom), paint);
}
// Draw horizontal lines
for (var lat = latStart; lat < screenBottomRight.latitude; lat += gridSize) {
final screenLeft = mapController.getScreenCoordinate(LatLng(lat, lngStart)).x.toDouble();
final screenRight = mapController.getScreenCoordinate(LatLng(lat, screenBottomRight.longitude)).x.toDouble();
canvas.drawLine(Offset(screenLeft, 0), Offset(screenRight, size.height), paint);
}
}
@override
bool shouldRepaint(GridPainter oldDelegate) {
return mapController != oldDelegate.mapController ||
gridSize != oldDelegate.gridSize;
}
}
This code creates a map screen with a grid overlay that displays gridlines every 2 degrees of latitude and longitude. You can adjust the gridSize
parameter in the GridPainter
constructor to change the size of the grid squares.
