Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm wondering if I should use this library, or this one https://www.npmjs.com/package/@capacitor/google-maps

Describe the solution you'd like Since the other one is maintained by the capacitor team, it would make sense to use the other one.
That said, this library seems to have more feature.

But should this be deprecated or are you guys still working on that project ?

Sorry if the question does not make sense

This community-maintained library has some major benefits over using the one from the Capacitor team. The primary benefit being, that this plugin supports overlaying the map element with your webview - and thus custom html elements - on both Android and iOS.

Also, I think it must be said that - although no offense to the also hard-working Capacitor team - but they definitely stole concepts - they even literally copy-pasted source code - from this library without giving credits to the hard work done by the community to create this library. (source)
