Easy to use Google Maps in your Flask application
- Jinja
- Flask
- A google api key get here
To contribute with the project, clone it, create a virtualenv and install all of you need to dev, see below:
git clone https://github.com/flask-extensions/Flask-GoogleMaps.git
cd Flask-GoogleMaps
poetry use env 3.8 # just to create virtualenv at the first time
poetry shell # activate virtualenv
poetry install # to install all for dev
pre-commit install # to install pre-commit hooksTo use in your project just use your dependency manager to install it, with pip is like this:
pip install flask-googlemapsFlask-GoogleMaps includes some global functions and template filters in your Jinja environment, also it allows you to use the Map in views if needed.
in your app
from flask import Flask
from flask_googlemaps import GoogleMaps
app = Flask(__name__)
# you can set key as config
app.config['GOOGLEMAPS_KEY'] = "8JZ7i18MjFuM35dJHq70n3Hx4"
# Initialize the extension
GoogleMaps(app)
# you can also pass the key here if you prefer
GoogleMaps(app, key="8JZ7i18MjFuM35dJHq70n3Hx4")In template
{{googlemap("my_awesome_map", lat=0.23234234, lng=-0.234234234, markers=[(0.12,
-0.45345), ...])}}That's it! now you have some template filters and functions to use, more details in examples and screenshot below.
- You can create the map in the view and then send to the template context
- you can use the template functions and filters directly
from flask import Flask, render_template
from flask_googlemaps import GoogleMaps
from flask_googlemaps import Map
app = Flask(__name__, template_folder=".")

return render_template('example.html', mymap=mymap, sndmap=sndmap)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(debug=True)- lat: The latitude coordinate for centering the map.
- lng: The longitude coordinate for centering the map.
- zoom: The zoom level. Defaults to
13. - maptype: The map type -
ROADMAP,SATELLITE,HYBRID,TERRAIN. Defaults toROADMAP. - markers: Markers array of tuples having (lat, lng, infobox, icon, label). Defaults to
None. - or markers: a list of dicts containing lat, lng, infobox, icon, label.
- or markers: Markers dictionary with icon urls as keys and markers array as values.
- varname: The instance variable name.
- style: A string containing CSS styles. Defaults to
"height:300px;width:300px;margin:0;". - identifier: The CSS ID selector name.
- cls: The CSS Class selector name. Defaults to
"map". - language: The map language. Defaults to
"en". - region: The map region. Defaults to
"US".
Also controls True or False:
- zoom_control
- maptype_control
- scale_control
- scale_control
- streetview_control
- rotate_control
- fullscreen_control
- scroll_wheel
- collapsible (map collapses by click on varname_collapse button)
- mapdisplay (show a collapsible map by default or not)
- center_on_user_location (using HTML5 Geolocation)
