Refactor options

• As styles also exists in google.maps.MapOptions it could be removed from GoogleMapsConfig. I think you added it here, to show it in the documentation, but I would rather write a comment above the class, which properties from google.maps.MapOptions are supported
• To prevent overhead, the MapType class could be deleted, because its documented in google.maps.MapOptions
• The following methods could be removed and implemented within the options object (this would require to have a update method, see below):
  • getMapType
  • setMapType
  • enableIndoorMaps
  • enableTrafficLayer
  • enableAccessibilityElements
  • enableCurrentLocation
  • setPadding
• There should be some additional options in GoogleMapsConfig like:
  • isCompassEnabled
  • isRotateGesturesEnabled
  • isTiltGesturesEnabled
  • isToolbarEnabled
  • isZoomGesturesEnabled
• Some more properties of google.maps.MapOptions should be handled by the native code like:
  • gestureHandling
  • restriction

Add an update method for map options

The above defined changes should also be appliable by an update method, to change them after the map instantiation.

Adding to this issue, I think it would be really nice to be able to update the map options as @AE1NS suggests.

In my case I need to set setMyLocationButtonEnabled to false.

My problem is that if I set enableCurrentLocation to true, on Android the default geolocation button is shown, even if I set disableDefaultUI: true in the map config options. On iOS it works fine.

@djabif The "disableDefaultUI" is only available for web. For iOS and Android only the config options declared on GoogleMapConfig are available.
