I try to make the tutorial work that geoserver has in its documentation:
http://docs.geoserver.org/stable/en/user/tutorials/georss/georss.html
Since Google maps v2 is deprecated and its keys with it I obtained a v3 API-key via the Google web console and put it in that like this:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=3.x&key=[my key for v3 here]" type="text/javascript"></script>
It shows the map as expected but after a few seconds I get:
Google has disabled use of the Maps API for this application.
and the map is gone.
Could it be, that this tutorial is just severely outdated? So do I need to find a tutorial on using geoserver with Google Maps v3 ?
The way to display RSS layers in the Google Maps API v3 is to use KmlLayer
Example from the referenced documentation:

var mapOptions = {

}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var georssLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer({

I have a KML file I'm using google sites to host. The link is working in my code, because I can see the map as an overlay. But when I put any style in the KML, the page seem to ignore it. I tried to change it to yellow, but I only get the default blue. The KML has polygons with inner and outer boundaries. The code is being views in my editor (Coda 2). The map shows, and it's in the right place, but it's not the right color. Is there a way for me to change the color? see code below:

Any ideas?
I changed the name of the file. I read about that somewhere as well for the change. That's rather annoying on google's parts. Such a powerful tool and they can't update the file because they have to cache it for performance sake. Thanks everyone for the help.
I'd like to display a perspective view of a satellite map.
I used sample code
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>45° imagery</title>
<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 = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(36.964645, -122.01523),
zoom: 18,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
map.setTilt(45);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
If I change the coordinates of the map for this one: 47.566188, -0.610760, I get several 404 not found which may mean that the perspective view is not avalaible, while it's avalaible in the maps application.
Could you have a explanation of my problem, and eventually a way to solve it?
I have no idea why 45° imagery would be available on Google Maps and not in the API. I have tried with the v3 of the API (not v3.exp) and the same happens for these coords.
But if you want to avoid trying to load unavailable tiles and the 404 errors, you can do a very simple check:
if (map.getTilt()) {
map.setTilt(45);
}
JSFiddle demo
I am traveling globally and need to insert a Google map on my web page that shows my current position (not the position of the reader) so that others can see where I am.
Does anyone have a straightforward solution to do this. I know how to use My Places to create maps and insert in my pages, but have avoided having to get involved in using the Maps API so far. I have some knowledge of HTML and Javascript, but it is minimal so would rather avoid this if I can.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Further to my answer over at your other question you may find bits of this example useful: - hypoCampus
The little blue man/person/icon follows your location. If you scroll the maps away you can then press the static blue map-control man to re-center on your location. When you're moving (throttled location update is changing) the icon is walking otherwise it is standing.
(There's a bug with Manifest - "display" : "standalone" at the mo Chrome bug)
Hopefully Firebase have committed to bypassing the speed-humps of W3C/IETF and will give us ServiceWorker Background Geolocation tracking very soon.
you must tell to map your current location. for that you must get your location Latitude and Longitude for show that by maps.
get that by :
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=+" + MapAddress + "&sensor=false
try this html code in your page. str_lat and str_lng are your location :
<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' src=https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&sensor=false>
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(str_lat,str_lng);
var mapOptions = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title:'Location!'
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>

I just wrote a tutorial about using the Google Maps API with Windows 8, http://www.creepyed.com/2012/11/how-to-use-the-google-maps-api-on-windows-8/. It has to do with how the script for Google Maps is called in the project and making sure you can get external content.
I was getting similar errors to you. I hope this helps!
Have a great day,
ed
I'm a bit of a newbie myself but I think you need:
<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
instead of :
<body
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
Lea.
close your <body> tag!
#LeasMaps,
initialize() calls on callback=? by the google api but he must remove the ()!
script.src = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=initialize';
I want to make a web application that will get 2 location and their postalcode and show the result on google map. For example, I select 2 cities or a country and show the road map with a colored line according to my points.
Best place to look is the Google Maps API V3 Documentation - I recommend V3 as they don't support V2 anymore
Main documentation: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/
Samples: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/index.html
Simple directions sample: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/directions-simple.html
Basically you need to have the two co-ordinates, although you can use street addresses, and pass that to the API and it goes off to google gets the results and then plots it. Easy as pie!
