This article provides a comprehensive guide on leveraging the Maps feature from the .NET MAUI Community Toolkit in a WinUI 3 App through the robust Embedding feature.

The CommunityToolkit.Maui.Maps NuGet package provides access to Bing Maps through a WebView on Windows. The Handler definitions for the Windows platform for the .NET MAUI Maps feature are hosted in this package.

To ensure the Maps feature functions correctly on the native WinUI 3 App, it is imperative to slightly adjust the feature initialization in the MAUI pipeline.

Windows Subsystem for Android™️ (WSA) enables your Windows 11 device to run Android applications.

Even though optimization techniques such as Intel HAXM are available, there is a marginal performance tradeoff when using the Android Emulator.

The Subsystem has been designed to function as an integral OS component, providing superior performance compared to the Android Emulator.

From my perspective, the only drawback of using WSA is the lack of support for Google Play Services (as it works with Amazon Appstore). So any apps that rely on those services, WSA might not be the best fit. So continue to use the Android Emulator or the Physical device.

The Native Embedding feature in .NET MAUI is a charming capability inherited from the legacy of Xamarin.Forms.

The platform project can make use of abstracted .NET MAUI pages and controls directly, showcasing its enhanced capabilities in this aspect.

To gain further insights, please consult my previous article outlining how to implement Blazor Hybrid in the WinUI 3 project.

When compared with the time of Xamarin.Forms, significant progress has been made in the implementation of this feature, such as the definition of a platform-independent extension method called ToPlatform().
