Yes, OutsystemsMap is enough.

The thing that you must prepare from what you already share, from google maps license is :

1. Maps Javascript API

2. Direction API



NB : do not forget this is paid service to google

Hi,


You can check, if the component have red shield mark, it means that the plugin is supported by Outsystems.

The others plugin usually for another function (like mine, this is using openstreetmap and not googlemap https://www.outsystems.com/forge/component-overview/8029/openstreetmapplugin)


Map vs Static map : Static map is non interactive


For your case, you need to use polyline or google direction API. If you already have point of the path, better use polyline, if you only know from one point to another, use direction API (this is paid service)
