I am trying to design a travel agency site. such that when a client enters his destination. example:
from: London
To: Dubai
then click submit the google jquery map will show the link between this two countries on that same page.
I have been trying to get around it for a while but it seems so difficult but I beleive some one must have done or carried out such before.
Google Maps API V3 is the solution you are looking for. Have a look at Direction API of Google Maps API V3, that will help you to develop a site like which you have specified.
Have a look at the following example. Might be this will help you out.

I need to show neighborhood data on a map.
Each neighborhoods color would be based on the value it has.
In google maps the neighborhoods are highlighted by google when I search for them.
I do not see a way to create custom colors for them through the API.
To clarify I want to show a bunch of adjacent neighborhoods in different colors, not change the color of all neighborhoods.
More Info: Thanks Duncan, Google Maps has neighborhood outlines, eg typing menisa, edmonton into Google Maps highlights that neighborhood. Would that be geocoding via neighborhood?
This link is an example of what I am looking for.

Do I need to use google places to query for the google.maps.places.PlaceGeometry.viewport? And then use heatmaps to specify a weightedvalue?
From reading the documentation it looks to me like Google Maps API does not support this. If so could someone confirm that.

How can I get a map that simply shows how to get from A to B with a car on my WordPress page?
I used to do this in Google maps directly, I made a map showing the road from A to B and embed it on the page. It used to be so easy. And under the map I had a link to the same map in Google Maps where you also could get written directions. But like a month ago, Google changed their maps and all my maps got messed up. The links as well. Now I am trying to fix this and make new maps.
I have tried in Google maps directly like i used to do, and this is the closest I get to what I am looking for: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/start. But I find that very hard to customize, because there are very few options. I have also tried a lot of different plugins, but so far no luck.
Is there a better way to do this?
If you want to customize the map, I can only strongly recommend you the Google Maps API. Here is a good example of how to integrate the directions service into a map and display it on your web page.
Since the latest Google Maps update in 2013, is there a way or a resource that can be used for simple embedding Google Maps?
I have tried using the old maps system but it does not produce desired results.
Also, I have tried using Google Maps Engine, no luck there as well, because you are only served with a link to share, not embed code.
After extensive research on the topic I found no simple way of embedding new Google Maps. Problem will possibly go away once Google decides to update Google Maps. However, I have not seen Google Maps development roadmap and so I can't really vouch for them.
Apart from using simple solution, there are two others (not so simple of course) that might provide a decent substitution.
Solution 1
Using Google Maps API where you can find Developer guides, API reference and code samples. There is no easy way about this, simply follow the instructions and review examples that Google has supplied. Hopefully there might be something in it that will help you.
Simple guide to Google Maps API
Solution 2
Using Google Maps Engine will offer you a way to create your own map. Once you have created a map, added pins, points, routes, etc. at the end you can select option to share. However, option to share just allows you to share a link, not embed. I just wanted to point out this "feature", if you will, of the system.
To embed a map you have to click on a folder in the upper left corner. Shown on the image below and select Embed on my site option.
In the bottom right corner of the map you'll see a cogwheel. Click it.
Click on "Share and embed map";
Choose the size you need from the drop-down menu or choose the custom option;
Click in the box to the right that starts with <iframe src="https://www.google The code should be highlighted. copy and paste it into your web page or blog.
Simples!
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 have implemented the street view of the google map using the google javascript api v3 and i want to show the blue shadow area in google map according to their corresponding street view display.
Can anyone help me out to resolve this problem.
The "StreetviewOverlay" is not available in v3. If you would like it, you can star (vote for) this Enhancement request
(doesn't seem to be a lot of interest in it, only 9 stars so far)
