# Plugins List

There are many independently maintained 'plugins' created by the 'flutter\_map' community that give extra, prebuilt functionality, saving you even more time and potentially money.

Some pages in this documentation provide direct links to these plugins to make it easier for you to find a suitable plugin.

However, if you're just browsing, a full list is provided below (in no particular order), containing many of the available plugins. You can click on any of the tiles to visit its GitHub repo or pub.dev package.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Although these plugins have been checked by 'flutter\_map' maintainers, we do not accept responsibility for any issues or threats posed by independently maintained plugins.

Use plugins at your own risk.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
There is no guarantee that any of these plugins will support the latest version of flutter\_map. Please remain patient with the plugin authors/owners.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Many plugins provide multiple methods to achieve similar goals. It is recommended to read the documentation of each potential plugin before using it in your project, as they might have slightly different feature sets or stability.
