Differences from angular-google-maps #74

Closed dandv closed 9 years ago

dandv commented 9 years ago

The README mentions that this project was inspired by Inspired by Nicolas Laplante's angular-google-maps, which apparently is now https://github.com/angular-ui/angular-google-maps.

What exactly are the differences? Is this project still being maintained? Last commit here is 6 months ago, while angular-google-maps is much more actively developed.

Good question!

I originally developed this project because none of the existing solutions offered a performant or usable api for rendering many markers on a map and being able to do things like filter them.

It looks like angular-google-maps now has a markers directive which uses a very similar approach to angular-gm and probably closes this feature gap. I haven't taken a close look at the project since it was rewritten so it may be that angular-google-maps covers all of the functionality I have implemented so far.

This project is still maintained but only when I have time, and mostly according to my needs. angular-google-maps probably has a lot more resources behind it so it's probably the better choice unless your use cases line up well with mine, or you are willing to help maintain it.
