## What it is
A set of Jetpack Compose composable functions and data types wrapping the Google Maps SDK for Android. It lets developers declaratively build map UIs (markers, circles, polygons, overlays) in Compose instead of the traditional View-based API.

## Use cases
- add a Google Map to a Jetpack Compose Android app
- render markers, circles, and polygons declaratively in Compose
- cluster map markers in a Compose app
- customize map properties and UI settings from Compose state
- add a scale bar or Street View to a Compose screen
- migrate a Maps SDK View-based app to Jetpack Compose

## When to choose
- you are building an Android app with Jetpack Compose and need Google Maps
- you want declarative, state-driven map UI with less boilerplate than MapView
- you need Compose-friendly clustering, widgets, or Street View helpers

## When to avoid
- your app uses XML Views rather than Jetpack Compose
- you need maps on iOS, web, or cross-platform (use a cross-platform maps solution)
- you use a maps provider other than Google Maps Platform

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: ui-components, geospatial
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, frontend
