Look at the InfoBox from the utility libraries. There is an example in the documentation.

There is already a feature request for this in the IssueTracker for Google Maps Platform. You can star this issue to get updates on it.

I am trying to embed an existing, public Google Map into a website. Specifically this one:
http://goo.gl/maps/cHf2
Of course I could use the iframe embed to achieve this, but I would like a little more control over the map … I imagined being able to pull all the markers from the map and display them as an index next to the map. Kind of like Google already does, but embedded in my page with my own styles and images.
I have been digging through Google, Stack Overflow and the API instructions and couldn’t find any relevant posts. In the GET string of the map on Google we can see this chunk:
&msid=212828439842926497866.0004bfae4da003d8ffd1f&mid=1341413217
I thought in there might be a maps ID and I could use it to query the content of the map through the API? The intention is using Google Maps as a CMS for less technical minded people and not dealing with geo data in our own CMS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe I am just missing the forest for the trees.
You can download the kml that specifies the markers in that page and display that on your API based map. This example defaults to displaying it using geoxml3, but you can hide that and display the KmlLayer version.
You should be able to just point KmlLayer to the link (I downloaded the kml and put it on my server so it would work with geoxml3).
Here is an example (taken directly from the documentation) that does that

I'm not sure where to start looking in the documentation, but I'm trying to load map images of cities with their boundaries outlined.
Like this...
Any help getting started would be greatly appreciated, I'm pretty new to the maps api.
Thanks
There is currently no way to request a map with boundaries automatically rendered on it. Your best bet is to pull the polygon information from another system and render using an encoded polyline if you're using the Static Map API or regular overlays in the JavaScript API.

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.

I want to have google map on my page and I hope it can be based of a zipcode.example 90001.
I also would like to have the general stuff like the ability to zoom out, zoom in etc.
Where can I get this?
