Error building project with google maps plugin about nativescript-google-maps-sdk

Looks like gradle can't find the play-services-maps Android library, which needs to be installed on your machine. Verify that you have the latest Google Play Services installed https://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/adding-packages.html

For my location, you should be able to do something like this, although I haven't tested it:

function onMapReady(args) {
    var mapView = args.object;
    var gMap = mapView.gMap;

    if(mapView.android) {
        gMap.setMyLocationEnabled(true);
    }

    if (mapView.ios) {
        gMap.myLocationEnabled(true);
    }
}

I had google play installed and after i added the google repository my project built successfully.
Also the my location button appeared on android after adding your code suggestion. I did have to add an extra permission to the android manifest:

Although everything builds ok and I can see the location button, there is no map shown.
Do you have any suggestions on why this might be?
I'm pretty sure the API key is correct as I have used it before.
It's difficult to debug since 1.5.1 no longer outputs the android logcat as default.

It now works perfectly.
Many thanks for your help with this.
My last issue as to do with incorrect credentials to the API.

Great - glad to hear it's working now. Enjoy!
