I'm a lazy hobby cyclist and love to cycle in Tokyo. Tokyo has tons of small side streets that are a lot of fun cycling through. On the other hand, depending on location, Tokyo can be quite hilly. So, I was wondering if there was a way to use the Google Maps API to figure out a path between two points A and B that a) uses small streets only, and b) minimizes some objective function. For my purposes the objective function would likely be a weighted sum of distance and elevation gain.

Is there a possibility to get JSON file with the most played games from the steam API? Can't find the right method from the steam documentation.
Valve doesn't provide a most-played endpoint - you'd need to collect play stats for every game yourself. SteamDB and SteamSpy both aggregate those stats, and the latter has an API you can query for some Top 100 lists.

My mobile App needs to give the user the possibility to select a city in a cities list.
Google geocode has proven very good. For example, I can use the french "Londres" for London or the Italian "Parigi" for Paris.
But the usage limits (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/geocoding/?hl=fr#Limits) say that I cannot use it without a map. Using a map on this part of my app would be confusing and slow too. I use google maps in other parts of my app.
I know there is another Google API to get the list of locations and all one needs to display is a Google logo but I cannot remember which API it is.
Is there a way to bypass this restriction
You might want to have a look at the Places Autocomplete API. I believe you can use it without a map provided you include the Google logo (which is included by default).

I am currently invested in a project to implement marine charts and maps into our custom Google Maps application. However, I am quite unsure of how to actually go about doing this. I would like to use the NOAA ENC data from here:
http://www.charts.noaa.gov/ENCs/ENCs.shtml
What I would like to do is use this data to display the charts on Google Maps. Does anyone have any ideas/tips/insight on how to do this?
Apparently there is an open-source reader which plugs into common utility (ogr2ogr) which allows you to convert the data into shapefile format:

Once you get the data into shapefile format, then turning it into tiles is a well-understood problem. Here is one blog posting of one way someone did it:

Since next month Google will charge sites using more than 25K maps impressions per day. I'm looking for options to replace Google Maps with some free service.
All I need is satellite imagery of a relatively small area of the U.S., so far I learned about Open Layers but I'm not sure if it's possible to download and host the aerial tiles from some where or if there is some free service with no cap for displaying satellite tiles.

Hope someone can advise,
I would like to be able to use google map API to find all Zip codes/cities with x Miles of a point.
Has anyone done such a thing with google map or maybe some other type of service.
Would love to know if so how you have achieved it !
Thank you if you can advise.
There's nothing in the Google Maps API that can help with that, and I've never heard of any such service that could be mashed up with a Google Map.
What you could do is obtain a list of the locations of all the zip codes. Do a web search for [free zip code database] there are lots of them out there. Put it on your server then write your own server script to search it.
