Is it possible to just show a certain part of the map when using google maps API, I'm attempting to only show an google map image of a shopping mall, and do not want any of the other information on there. Is this possible??
Thanks in advance
By using the Style rule of style=visibility:simplified You can remove the label text from places, but they'll keep their label icons. A similar question was answered here: Google Maps v3 - limit viewable area and zoom level

I am using a javascript Google Maps V3 to show the location of places I have on my site, I can only offer a small view on my site so anyone who wants to see the larger map on google should either click on the Google icone on the bottom left, or in some cases I saw a link/button on the map stating "click to show on Google Maps".
So my question is how to show the link/button on my map that can open the same location on google maps site.
Google map provides an option to customize the link by adding some parameters for viewing map.
You can get the list of parameters here:

You'll need to pass the parameters to the link.
Example: https://www.google.com.au/maps/preview/#,,

I was searching the web for the past two days and I wasn't successful in finding what I want.I want to add my own place (for example my home) to the google maps and then get the coordinates of that place in order to place it in my google maps code in my website.
the only way google is showing me to do so is to add a job for my google coordinates account and then add my custom location(and of course I should pay for it).But this is not a job,I just want my place's coordinates to use in my google maps code!
ps:I've even seen people add their own location with full details of their place in the google maps and I'm pretty sure they didn't pay a penny for it(and everyone in the world can see their place!!!)
So here's the question:How can I do this without paying anything?
Go to the google map on web browser and go to the place what you want by zoom and move and at click you would see the coordnates that you may use in google map code.
No need to add you own place.
I want to display a set of link on Google maps as a cloud. I'm not sure how to go about it. I first tried using ELabels and even the google Maps API MapLabelto display labels on the map but they cant be links.How do I create a tag cloud and display it on google maps?
use linkliberito, i think it has what you totally needed. :)
I've been wondering about this for some time:
Is it possible to let a custom marker for a place on a google map display an infowindow with the same information that the infowindows on maps.google.com display when clicking on a place, without having to generate the HTML for the content yourself (using the places library)? I hope you know what I mean. Please let me know if I'm being unclear.
It would be great if one could pull the information straight from google instead of having to do it manually. I mean, why do something that's already there, right? ;)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
edit: I've tried rephrasing my question to make it clearer. I've removed the example code because it was just adding to the confusion. Sorry, English isn't my first language ...
There is currently no API call from Google that will provide the default InfoWindow content for a Lat/Long location.
The only thing google currently provides is some Reverse Geocoding Infomation.
In some websites (example: http://www.dubizzle.com/) I have seen an excellent Google Map feature which allows the user to select a neighborhood/region from a dropdown and the Google map shown just below the drop downwill zoom to that area and highlighted the region using a polygon.. Can anyone please tell me how to achieve this functionality.. The screen shot of this is given below
Thanks

They are likely using a polyline overlay (example), or a KML layer (example).
Could you provide a link to the page that you grabbed the screenshot from?
