I want to know if I should put Powered by Google when I use AutocompleteService and not Autocomplete to built my dropdown address list when users search something!
I know if I have google map in the same page I can omit logo in the dropdown result.
I believe this is explained pretty much good in the Places API Policies document:
https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/policies
Logo Requirements
If your application displays Google Places API Web Service data on a page or view that does not also display a Google Map, you must show a "Powered by Google" logo with that data. For example, if your application displays a list of places on one tab, and a Google Map with those places on another tab, the first tab must show the "Powered by Google" logo.
So, for the AutocompleteService of Google Maps JavaScript API (that internally will call the web service endpoint) just follow this policy. If you have Google maps on the same page you can omit the logo, if you don't have the map on the same page you must add the logo.
I hope this helps!

I have a react web app that provides a link to the native google maps app and shows directions on the map. I'd like to add a button to the google map with a specific url back into my react web app.
According to google documentation this should be possible
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/ios-urlscheme#x-callback_requests
It says the call back scheme has to adhere to the x-callback-url specification.
I checked the list and google chrome is on there.
IT says to use
googlechromes://
Here is my URL from my app that opens google maps.
comgooglemaps-x-callback://?daddr=1723+Alberni+Street+Vancouver&travelmode=driving&x-success=googlechromes://myserver/myapp/srl/srsNoAPI/1&x-source=MyApp
Opens the map and shows the directions but no button to go back to my app
I read that: Buttons added via the x-source parameter will not be displayed in the turn-by-turn navigation UI.
So I changed my url to just this
comgooglemapsurl://maps.google.com/maps?q=1723+Alberni+Street+Vancouver&x-source=MyApp&x-success=googlechromes://myserver/myapp/srl/srsNoAPI/1&x-source=MyApp
Still no button with that callback url
I can see that there is a link in the top left corner of the map that says "Chrome". When I click that it goes back to my app but just where it came from not to the URL I provided in the callback.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thank you very much.

I have a simple Google Maps link on my site that opens a new page and loads the driving directions from our location to customer's address.
The link is something like
https://maps.google.ca/maps?saddr=[our address]&daddr=[customer address]&dirflg=d
Where [our address] is replaced with our address and [customer address] is replaced by the customer address. The Google Maps is loaded properly with the directions drawn out on the map but is there a way to expand the "List all steps" for the default selected direction on page load?
I'm guessing Google Maps will automatically load the "best" route when the page is loaded but currently the user has to manually click on the "List all steps" to view the step by step directions. I want it so that when the user clicks the link on my site then it'll automatically load the map directions along with the step by step directions already opened. Is there some kind of special URL parameter that I can pass to do this?
I've been looking for the same solution - If you are able to format the link in the following way this works:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/[customer address]/[our address]/am=t/
It would be good to figure out how to submit it from a standard HTML form though.
I am using google maps to diplay driving directions to a dynamic location that is pulled from a database. The call to google looks like this
http://maps.google.com/?q=dynamicaddress
I have been trying to find a way to disable the search box on the top of the page and also remove the top black bar that is there by default.
I want the user to stay in the maps page and not wander to google search and potentially land in an unsafe site.
Thanks!

I'm attempting to construct and send a google maps url to a mobile browser. When the url is opened I would like it to bring up a google map with the geopoint marked. I have seen the stack question: What parameters should I use in a Google Maps URL to go to a lat-lon? And the answer there works perfectly for iphones, and standard PC/Mac browsers. However I opened the link I created
https://maps.google.com/maps?z=18&t=h&q=loc:51.5+-0.07
with Opera Mobile and was redirected to google places with a url like
maps.google.com/m/local?z=18&t=h&q=loc:51.5+-0.07
and the textbox was filled with
loc:51.5 -0.07
i.e. the geopoint. There was no map in sight, and searching for the details autofilled in the text box did not give me anything. When I attempted to navigate to this url on my mac it gave me a 404 error. Is there a way to construct mobile friendly google maps urls that will not redirect to google places?
The parameters for launching Google Maps are undocumented, which means they're subject to change without notification. You might want to look at using a Google Maps API instead, such as the Static Maps API if all you want is an image:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/
or the JavaScript API:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/
That way too you can keep people in your own application.
I want to create one webpage with one textbox, one button and one div containing the google map. My use case is whenever I enter some address in textbox and click on the button the google map for that place should get rendered in that div. Can anybody please help?
You want to use the Google Maps API:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/
and either the geocoding service:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/geocoding
or autocomplete:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#places_autocomplete
The samples linked there should give you plenty of code to draw on.
