I want to implement a google map screen and plot static location markers on specific latitude longitude points.This has to be done exclusively on a unity project so i can run it on both Android and iOS.
I am new to unity but I know how to do this on Android , so I hope it isn't that different from it.
Any help would be appreciated on how I can get started.

If you want to use Google Maps, you'll need to register with Google for an API key. You'll then have to make an HTTP request to the Google API.
The Maps Static API will return an image, which you'll have to turn into a texture, and then a material, and then add it to a quad for 3d use, or a sprite for 2d use.
If you do not want to go through that process with Google there are other free online API for maps and satellite pictures.
