I'm using Google Maps API v3, and the map language is set according to user's browser locale.
Is there a way to change this setting and force map to load in US English?
There is this, but it changes the region language, i.e. street names etc., I also want to control the map buttons and the interface language.
Try This:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Localizing the Map</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
html, body, #map-canvas {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&language=en"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644)
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
And you can load map in any specific language by passing the value of language code parameter with in this
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&language=en"></script>
Some example language codes are given here:
pass en for load map into english similarly ja for Japanese and
fr for French
I hope this is what you are asking for.

Happy coding!!

expected result:
My understanding of the below scripts is that I should be able to uncomment the //src="PAWSmap.js"; line in the scripts portion of the HTML page, refer to the JavaScript file that should define the map I desire.
This would mean the JavaScript file would deal with the map and future data while the HTML would simply refer to that file to display it.
result:
The map box however does not show up in the web browser when I follow the above logic.
It DOES show up when I run the HTML as is below, where the map set up and var creating is held within the HTML script.
This despite having followed two tutorials that would suggest that I should be able to achieve the "expected" method, having followed them closely.

Question:
Why is the reference to the JavaScript map file not working whereas the creation of the mapbox within HTML does work?
The syntax to load an external JavaScript file from your HTML page is:
<script src="path/to/file.js"></script>
Note that the src attribute and its value are within the <script> tag angle brackets, not as a child (i.e. not in between the opening and closing tags).
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/script for further details about the syntax and possible attributes.
i want to work with google maps offline for my mobile application
i used html 5 and google maps to development my app
but some user needs use app offline
so i want to use appcache manifest
but it works for normal page that contains just js+css but does not
work for google maps
because google maps included that file and this is dynamic file
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false
what should i do?
i made appCache as a below
cache.appcache file
CACHE MANIFEST
/index.html
NETWORK:
http://maps.gstatic.com/
http://maps.google.com/
http://maps.googleapis.com/
http://mt0.googleapis.com/
http://mt1.googleapis.com/
http://mt2.googleapis.com/
http://mt3.googleapis.com/
http://khm0.googleapis.com/

http://mt0.google.com/
http://mt1.google.com/
http://mt2.google.com/
http://mt3.google.com/
http://maps.google.com/
http://maps.gstatic.com/
And then i made a html page that shows google maps
as a below
index.Html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html manifest="cache.appcache">
<head>
<title>Simple Map</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">

<style>
html, body, #map-canvas {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script>
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644)
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
But it does not work offline

I have a fairly straightforward Google Maps implementation running well in Chrome on a Mac. Yet - I am not working on the mobile implementation as well as cross-browser fixes, and have discovered that the map itself is not properly displaying / functioning, let alone the markers and infowindows that should be showing up. The native zoom tool never displays and I can't click anywhere on the map or drag it.
I've been googling and googling but not turning much up. Any hints or help would be much appreciated (while realizing this is not specifically a code question - yet).
I discovered the prob on my own app, but tested using Google's 'hello world' for the maps API, and it's exactly the same issue:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map-canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript"

<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),
mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"/>

Your map doesn't have a completely defined size. You need to specify both the height and width, either as percent up to a parent element that has a size or specifically define the size of the div. If the size isn't defined it is zero.
I want to get a map (I only need a picture) that has the road network
but without labels (text on the map). I tried to get such a map from Google API and thought "element:geometry"
works.
But, for example, this link is still full of texts.
How can I obtain a road network map (static picture is ok) without text labels?
Any provider is ok, e.g. Google, Yahoo, Mapquest...
Use this style:
style=feature:all|element:labels|visibility:off
it will hide all labels for all features.
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?sensor=false&size=512x512¢er=Brooklyn&zoom=12&style=feature:all|element:labels|visibility:off
I got a better solution:
Create a html file and insert the code below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Mapa GMR Norte</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#map {
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
function initMap() {
var customMapType = new google.maps.StyledMapType([
{
elementType: 'labels',
stylers: [{visibility: 'off'}]
}
], {
name: 'Custom Style'
});
var customMapTypeId = 'custom_style';
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 13,
center: {lat: 41.4416459, lng: -8.2911885}, // Brooklyn.
mapTypeControlOptions: {
mapTypeIds: [google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, customMapTypeId]
}
});
map.mapTypes.set(customMapTypeId, customMapType);
map.setMapTypeId(customMapTypeId);
}
</script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?signed_in=true&callback=initMap"
async defer></script>
</body>
</html>
Hope it helps! :)
The Google Maps Styled Map Wizard (link below) will allow you to remove labels (and also make tons of other customizations).
https://mapstyle.withgoogle.com/
This is the documentation on map styling for the JavaScript API. There's also a Styled Map Wizard that lets you play with the styles to get exactly what you want.
by "I only need a picture" I take it you don't need to access to API, Google Inc devs still didn't a chance to apply all the features from the old maps to the new design.
However you can still access it by going to https://maps.google.com/?output=classic
and you can go to settings and customise "tick labels off" and so forth...
As of...today, it seems, Google Maps no longer has embed code!
Can someone point me in the right direction, or maybe offer up some old embed code I could try to embed into something useful?
Here is the article explaining how to embed a Google Map:
http://maps.google.com/help/maps/getmaps/quick.html
I think this has to do with the Google+ Social Network "thing" that appeared in the last few days.
Also, I have tried the instructions in the link above both logged into a Google Apps account and not logged in to any Google account.
I just tried the embed code and it seems to be working correctly for me. Did you change anything on your page recently? Here is what I tried.
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0"
marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&

Try disabling your Maps Labs in order to use map embedding. - reference
http://maps.google.com - the embed box is now back.
I guess it was a temporary glitch. I am pretty sure it was not on my side, I tried a few different machines and browsers.
