Use case

Google Maps for Android and iOS have supported custom map tile overlays since 1.2. They've been working great in our Android and iOS applications. We would like to also compile our application for the web, but google_maps_flutter_web doesn't support custom map tiles.

Proposal

As of version 0.2.0, google_maps_flutter_web simply noops any functionality related to custom tile overlays. Instead, google_maps_flutter_web should implement custom tile overlays, as the Google Maps Javascript platform supports this. We would like to use tile overlays in our web application in the same way as our mobile applications.

    We are also looking at this. All the other things seem to be working fine on web.

    @martyfuhry I think tests are (probably) the main thing standing between this and a pull request, so if you'd be willing to do that, that would be amazing. Otherwise, I can add a couple over the weekend and we can see where we are on Monday.

    Regarding performance, it seems to me like that'll be a considerably larger discussion, but it looks like getting this into a PR might be a first step towards starting that discussion.
