Hello, I was just wondering if anyone has succeeded in adding *WebGl* markers to the Ionic Native Google map.

WebGl is useful because it allows to add millions of markers with little performance hit, since it uses the GPU each marker is not rendered as a separate DOM element.

I have seen that this is possible with the javascript API, see here: https://github.com/ubilabs/google-maps-api-threejs-layer

They key part is this line: https://github.com/ubilabs/google-maps-api-threejs-layer/blob/master/threejs-layer.js#L44

They are using OverlayView from an instance of this.map (javascript API) to attach Three.Js particles to the map instance.

Is this possible with this plugin? To add WebGl markers?

Thank you
