Android

This API requires the following permissions be added to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<!-- Geolocation API -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
<uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.location.gps" />

Web

This API requires a Google API key to be set in the apiKey field of the ForwardOptions or ReverseOptions interfaces.

There is no way to use this plugin on the web without a Google API key.

The return data is limited to the data available from the native API on the device, as exemple formatted_address is not available in web implementation, as it's not available in the native API.
