Would it be possible to project (transform) Google Maps to achieve something similar to this image ? A horizonless projection into a concave curved plane.
Or, even better, to achieve the same with Here Maps 3D view (canvas) .

I need to create a shape on the google map. If the user wants to create a shape(Polygon, Circle, Rectangle, Square) with the help of Drawer he will be able to draw shapes.
Is there any related feature of Google Maps which I can use to achieve this feature?
Thanks in advance
There is, you may try reading Drawing Manager from Google Maps Api Drawing Layer (Library)
Here is a working example of what you can achive

I would like to use a layer on top of a google map and map the streets on this layer.
Specifically - I have autocad design and would like to implement it somehow into a map, using tiles (maybe MBTiles) and provide info on the design.
I'm familiar with google maps but not on how I can add this layer and information. I don't want to create polygons and polylines in code - I want to use to vector design, place it on the map and add data like street names and such.
How would I approach this?
I'm thinking you'll need to use AutoCAD Map 3D or AutoCAD Civil 3D to extract the layer as a shape file which you can then use with Google Maps.
I want to make Custom Map based on Google maps APIs I am using this code to get the Bitmap image
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=18&maptype=hybrid&size=560x480&markers=loc:26.177001,32.736675&sensor=false
Now I want to scroll the map, How can I do that. in other words I want algorithm to link between coordinates and gotten image size and map zoom
Thanks a lot
You are using Static google maps api. That's mean you will get just a print of the map as an image. This is really useful when you want to show just a place in the map without download the javascript lib.
If you want use the map zoom, scrool and other things you have to use the javascript google maps api
Is there any way to auto create marker with shape like building borders by knowing only coordinates, which in this building?
Image example - http://d.pr/eqUT
Yes there is. If you know coordinates of all corners of that building, you could draw a ploygon, check this out: http://www.birdtheme.org/useful/googletool.html
also google maps API v3 - how to draw dynamic polygons/polylines?
I'm looking looking for a tool that will allow me to make a map exactly like this:
http://datasearch.uts.edu.au/about/mapsdirections/map.cfm
Basically I need to put shapes around buildings in the satellite view and then slap a marker and information window on them so that I can specify the building name and contents.
So the main issue is that I need the ability to draw shapes directly onto the maps as I don't fancy taking down the lat lng of each corner of the polygon.
Ideally what I'd like to do is have an online application that exports those points to KML, and then I would display google maps on my site and import that kml to display it.
Other suggestions welcome!

Found a polygon creator
http://www.the-di-lab.com/polygon/
It's simple to use and allows you to copy and paste straight into your code. Would be nice if it had a button that said sent to kml though..
