Answer 1

add this package into flutter project.. - pubspec.yaml

-dependencies:

  location: ^2.3.4

Answer 2

The problem is google_maps_flutter package needs permission for accessing your location but the package has not native codes to ask that permission.

So you need to write native code or just install another package which is able to take that permission.

Install this: https://pub.dartlang.org/packages/location

Then:

getLocationPermission() async {
    final Location location = new Location();
    try {
      location.requestPermission(); //to lunch location permission popup
    } on PlatformException catch (e) {
      if (e.code == 'PERMISSION_DENIED') {
        print('Permission denied');
      }
    }
  }

Or if you want more solid code, this is my code for some project(with location package):

//Show some loading indicator depends on this boolean variable
bool askingPermission = false;

@override
  void initState() {
    this.getLocationPermission();
    super.initState();
  }

  Future<bool> getLocationPermission() async {
    setState(() {
      this.askingPermission = true;
    });
    bool result;
    final Location location = Location();
    try {
      if (await location.hasPermission())
        result = true;
      else {
        result = await location.requestPermission();
      }
      print('getLocationPermission: '
          '${result ? 'Access Allowed' : 'Access Denied'}');
    } catch (log, trace) {
      result = false;
      print('getLocationPermission/log: $log');
      print('getLocationPermission/trace: $trace');
    } finally {
      setState(() {
        this.askingPermission = false;
      });
    }
    return result;
  }
