Same Question, Two Engines
Two prototypes, six months apart, trying the same thing. In July 2016 I started a Unity project called maps. In January 2017 I made maps-v2, and that one wasn't Unity at all, it was Ionic 2.
maps-v2 was Angular 2 with ionic-angular still at a release candidate, and the default Cordova plugins straight out of the generator.
I wanted native maps inside a mobile app. I tried it first in a game engine, then half a year later in the hybrid stack I was shipping Ionic apps on.
