Is there a Google Earth control available in the iPad SDK or someway of having google earth inside my new iPad app?
No. You can embed Google Maps content using MapKit but there is no way to embed Google Earth.
Make sure you're aware of the Google Terms of Service before you embed a map view in your app.
You can use the Google Earth iPhone application on the iPad. However the only control you have over it is the ability to load custom Kml files.

We have an requirement for showing Bing maps view in Xamarin forms app for Android and iOS both.
We have done the integration of Google maps for both platforms with the help of
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/xamarin/xamarin-forms/user-interface/map#Using_Xaml
and
https://github.com/amay077/Xamarin.Forms.GoogleMaps.
I neither found any documentation that Bing maps supported on Android and iOS nor any thing says it did not support.
So How can I get documentation to integrate Bing maps in my Xamarin forms Android and iOS application.
Xamarin.Forms supports Bing Maps only for UWP not for android or iOS. There is not official announcement or SDK's are available to do so. If you wish to add Bing Maps do it for UWP project. For Android need to have GoogleAPI's keys. Along with iOS project you can go either apple map's or google map's.
To have detailed information go through below articles

I was using Google Maps on my iPhone today and noticed that if you browse the photos there are two tabs at the top called "FROM MENU" and "ATMOSPHERE". These don't seem to appear on the the desktop version or iOS Google Maps app but only for me on the iOS Chrome browser.
Is there a way to access these lists of photos? I don't see anything in the Places API. The only way I could replicate this is by using Google Cloud Vision and parsing the tags of the images but it's an expensive service to subscribe to.
I see that google drive picker have a minimum size frame, it can't be responsive on mobile web view. But I saw an extension google drive on slack and it's responsive.
Anybody know how to build google drive picker like extension on slack? Is drive picker actually able to modify to make it responsive or is it customize by Google Drive API?
Any tutorial reference is apreciate. Thanks
There is currently no specific tutorial with regard to mobile support of Picker API for mobile devices. I believe that the Slack team has written their own implementation for the interface and just makes calls to Drive REST API. So if you like the same functionality, it is expected that you also write your own.
This SO thread seems to confirm this also.
As in title. Is it possible to implement maps other than Google Maps or Mapbox (they are expensive)? I would aim into Open Street Maps or other free solution as I would like to use it in my commercial app.
You should be able to use open street maps fine in a NativeScript application.

You would just need to call into the OSM maps API. You can check out several blogs from nsbloggers.com as several bloggers have written posts on how to take a native component and make it into a NativeScript plugin.
I wrote a web site with google earth api and it is working fine.
I want to open this site via mobile browser, and it's giving me the following error:
"the plug-in of google earth is available only for win and mac".
How can i get through it?
Thanks.

I am having a similar issue. I wish to try and use Android WebView instead of setting up GooglePlayServices at this time for an art project
I have the example loading just fine on Windows and Mac, but I need this for my Android art project.
My source code can be viewed at this link below:

I will attempt to see what I can try from Google Maps V3 APIs as per your instruction JasonM1 and see if I find a way to load this in Android.
Unfortunately, the Google Earth Plugin and Google Earth API is currently only supported on the Windows and Mac platforms.
Full list of which OS versions and browsers are supported can be found here:
https://developers.google.com/earth/documentation/index#installing_the_google_earth_plugin
The mobile version as well as the Linux version of Google Earth does not currently support the Google Earth plugin.
If you redesign your web site using Google Maps V3 APIs then it would be supported by mobile and desktop web browsers. Google Earth is a thick desktop and has restrictions especially with respect to mobile devices that a pure web application such as using Google Maps APIs can avoid.
Although the Google Earth plugin doesn't work on mobile devices, both Android and iOS devices have a Google Earth app available for them.
Thus a good way to show your data on both desktop and mobile devices is simply to publish it as a KML file, which will load in all versions of the program. The mobile devices don't actually offer a "load file" option, but instead rely on the fact that if you present the device with a KML file with the correct mime type, then the system works out that the Google Earth app is the appropriate one to display the file.
