Feature Request

Plugin

Description

We are looking for an extra feature in the Google maps plugin. We would like to show our own Tile images. Image tile overlays which display on top of existing base map types based on pattern XYZ tiles URL.

In another project we use cordova-plugin-googlemaps with the TileOverlay function. link to plugin
That works well. We would like to use this in the same way in the Capacitor plugin.

If we need to pay for this feature that's no problem. I would love to hear what is possible.

The implementation of TileOverlays in the Capacitor plugin would be very great. That would currently be the game changer for me to switch from Cordova to Capacitor.

@RicoHoff we are currently implementing the Tile overlay feature in the Capacitor plugin. It already works on Android and we are now testing it on iOS. As soon as it works on both platforms I will share it here.
