On a website I see they use Google Map, but the map looks special and is different from other Google Maps I saw. Is that special-looking map provided by Google Maps or made by the website themselves?
I checked "My Maps" on Google Maps and didn't find related options.
A website with special-looking Google Map tiles
It's called Styled Maps. See the documentation and examples here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/styling?hl=en

I need to create link on google maps with marker + infowindow
I found this link:
url http://www.google.com/maps?q=41.0082,28.9784(INFO_WINDOW)
used to work before. But now it doesn't work anymore.
That is the "old"/"classic" Google Maps, it no longer works.
Some options:
Look at the embed API
Create a Google Maps Javascript API v3 map of your own that supports that functionality (example)
Classic My Maps on maps.google.com will no longer be available.
Now we must use new maps. I would like to embed them to the website, without iframe that google suggests.
Before this change I used simple kml layer:
var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer('https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&t=m&authuser=0&msa=0&output=kml&msid=212840568890456843825.0004c1fba0c8371a81c2b');";
kmlLayer.setMap(gMap);
But during the automatic update of my maps it was broken, if I use the same link - I got empty icons. Here is the new map (converted by google), can I load it using API V3 as I did before?
https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zhJ_pzBRPGN8.kCI6hT4Kq0Ao
In other words:
I want to create maps here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/
And to embed them using API v3, but where can I get a link to the layer? Central coordinate, zoom level?
Change the KML Layer link to:
https://mapsengine.google.com/map/kml?mid=zhJ_pzBRPGN8.kCI6hT4Kq0Ao&lid=zhJ_pzBRPGN8.kZ0hfyeW-GtI
I grabbed this link from the "Share", "Download KML" URL on the Map that you linked to.
I am using a javascript Google Maps V3 to show the location of places I have on my site, I can only offer a small view on my site so anyone who wants to see the larger map on google should either click on the Google icone on the bottom left, or in some cases I saw a link/button on the map stating "click to show on Google Maps".
So my question is how to show the link/button on my map that can open the same location on google maps site.
Google map provides an option to customize the link by adding some parameters for viewing map.
You can get the list of parameters here:
http://alvarestech.com/temp/routeconverter/RouteConverter/navigation-formats/src/main/doc/googlemaps/Google_Map_Parameters.htm
You'll need to pass the parameters to the link.
Example: https://www.google.com.au/maps/preview/#,,

I am using google map in my application. I have an application regarding to property sales and purchase for that I have used google map.
But now I have to add Bird's Eye view in it. Since there is no such a concept in google map api, I have decided to use Bing map.
But when I implemented a bing map in it, It affected the functionality of google map.
Means it conflicted the google map.
Can't I use bing map with google map?
Have any Idea?
When you want to use both Google map and Bing map in your application, then you can use different iframe for each.
It will prevent conflicting between each other...
Thanks to brian.behling for their post on Google help forum.
Here is the link for that :

I have answered this question just because anyone else can refer to that easily...

I am using the google maps api v2 to build attraction guide mashup. Currently it shows some landmarks on the tiles it returns. I notice some of the geocoding of certain attractions is off.
Is there a way I can tell google to send back map tiles with no land marks? I cant seem to find any info on the api docs about it.
As of Google Maps API v3, you can use the Google Maps API Styled Map Wizard to do exactly this.
There is no way to request custom tiles from Google. Your only option is to choose from the available map types, or to generate your own tiles.
The Terrain map (G_PHYSICAL_MAP) might be more acceptable for you.
