OSX question, not iOS.

I’ve been searching for a framework to get easy access to the full (or at least the most important functions)of the V3 API Google Maps within a WebView.
From what I’ve read so far it should be technically possible.
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Conceptual/SafariJSProgTopics/ObjCFromJavaScript.html

I found a nice little simple tutorial on V2 which works great.

Now before I start re-inventing the wheel and coding everything from scratch (callbacks from map-pins etc.). Is there nothing open source or similar around?

I’m surprised I could not find much on that subject since having a MapView in Cocoa OSX sounds like something many people would find useful theses days.

Thanks for any pointer to an open source project, tutorial or what may be floating around which I could not find.

meanwhile I found this open source project which seems useful to learn how to do it:
