Search on Google Maps

Does anyone know how I can make the user be able to search for things on Google Maps within my application? I added the text input and styled it as a search bar but I donโ€™t know what logic to use to do the searches

You can use the Google Places API to find types of locations and then plot their lat/long coordinates on a Google Map. If youโ€™re new to APIs, consider it a steep learning curve but there are some examples on the forums.

And how could I use it so that a user could see another userโ€™s location? In the mobile application that I am creating, the idea is that there are 2 different types of accounts, the first of which has a map that shows the location of the second type of account that will not have the map, any tips?

Iโ€™m sure there are privacy concerns and user agreements related to that sort of app but ignoring that for now, you could store the userโ€™s location in a cloud database such as Firebase and then display it on any other devices by retrieving that location from Firebase.
