With Google maps, we can save a private or Public map and add places and markers on it manually. Can we use Google Maps API v3 to programmatically add markers to such a map? This is so that when the map is displayed, all markers will be pre-loaded by Google.
Thanks,
Yash
Yes - the Google Maps JavaScript API is very powerful. Please refer to the API reference to get started (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/marker-simple).

I have been working with google maps api and flutter and cannot see polyline between 2 markers.Does anyone have any idea how to create a polyline between user entered location?
You can see the implementation of polylines in the plugin example

I am trying to show a race course via the google api. I have gone in and created a custom map and can't figure out how to show that from the api. I am trying to add this to a website and then want to add another API on top of it.
This is the map I have created
To display data from Google MyMaps on a Google Maps Javascript API v3 map, export the data as KML/KMZ, then display it using KmlLayer

I notice you can enable sign-in with the Google Maps V3 API. I wondered, is it possible to display a map created under a users My Maps service on a map configured through the V3 API?
I'm not so sure it is possible having had a hunt around on the web, so thought I'd ask here.
Thanks
According to the KML files on Google Maps, you can upload a KML file to my maps and at the same time, Google Maps v3 API.
but there is no mention about displaying my maps directly on v3.
However you can try figure out how to get mid and lid programmatically and regenerate the share url.
Does anyone have a good reference for the new google maps parameters. It seems maps are now in the format
https://www.google.com/maps/#40.07304,-74.724323,8z
Where the first two parameters are the LAT and LONG, the third is the zoom level. Are there other parameters to customize such as a marker location.
Could not find any official documentation from Google, but the Moz Blog has a description on the new Google Maps URL structure.
If you want to integrate with Google Maps (instead of just providing a link to a map), Google Maps has a couple of web APIs for maps:
Google Maps Javascript API
Google Maps Embed API
Google Maps Image APIs
Those pages do describe the location format (and the API Key to be used).
I have read your answer on this.
Maps API keys for geocoding not working anymore?
Currently I am trying this:
https://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=n&sensor=true&key=apikeygoeshere
Giving me error:
This API project is not authorized to use this API.
Please suggest how can I complete my app. I am searching locations for my App.I can buy business plan later but for now I need to test for development.
I have following services on:
Google Maps Coordinate API, Google Maps Engine API, Google Maps Geolocation API, Google Maps JavaScript API v3, Google Maps SDK for iOS, Places API.
What you are referring to is not the Geolocation API. It is the Geocoding API. You need to enable the Geocoding API in your console. Please see the documentation.
Visit the APIs console at https://code.google.com/apis/console and log in with your Google Account.
Click the Services link from the left-hand menu in the APIs Console, then activate the Geocoding API service.
Hope this helps.
Try this URL,
You Don't have to enter API Key in URL
Just pass lat,lng in URL through a variable
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=-34.78,138.519&sensor=false
When you put your location (Capital Area Soccer League) in google map search, google plots the location in the map if it finds a correct geocodes but if it does not finds proper geocodes for the searched location then it shows suggestions of corrects locations in the dropdown. When you choose any of the locations from the dropdown - it has the correct lat long (geocodes) so it plots that in the map correctly.
So you should not use geocodes in the search rather open up a suggestions dropdown and when click on any of the suggested location then you have correct geocodes to plot in the map.
