I have some dynamic data. I want to call this data dynamically in google maps location positions. When user clicks the location, user should be able to see details and photo of particular location. User should be able to filter the data as per his requirement and view filtered location.
Kindly let me know what type of API i should go for. I have searched alot and i came across Google maps api, google geo, google places api, fusiontables, spreadsheets, xml, kml, javascript, webservice and much more techniques and services.
I am working on asp.net site and sql database, is there any way to work with the same platform. Else please give me proper and easy dynamic way to use the service.
I want the exact maps features used in following site : http://inspire.makemytrip.com/inspire/
Thank You
P.S. : Whoever doing Downvote for this post should first Note that Google maps API 3 official group has themselves mailed me to add Question here so if you dont wish to answer atleast dont downvote.
I would suggest using Google Maps API V3 with PHP/MySQL as there are numerable tutorials available.
If you insist on using ASP here is a start.

I am developing a website which uses Google Maps place API to get an area from the user and need to show nearest restaurants, hotels,etc. I also need to show the distance and route between those places from the user selected area.
Can anyone help me to give some suggestions, links, or a tutorial to do that?
Well, I coundn't provide you all codes, but i can help you to build code, Kindly follow the following guidance. It might be help you.
Basically you required two APIs for this solutions:
1) Google Directions API
2) Google Places API
3) Javascript - GEOLocation (auto detect user location, Works if website hosted with ssl cert - https )
Step 1:
Here first you need to detect user current location from browser (using HTML5 navigator.geolocation ):

Step 2:
Now you required to search nearby hotels,restaurants, etc using Google Places API. Please check following doc where you can see that places api required location coordinates as a input and will respond you accordingly,
Web Service API Doc OR JavaScript API Doc
Step 3:
Directions API will works on between two points, So here it's better to build dynamic route between two Points (user location and particular restaurant/hotel/etc location) using Direction API. You can build route using marker click event.

I hope that i have tried to explain better as i can, Kindly ignore formatting and spelling mistakes, Just focus on step i given, Ignore other stuff!!
I am looking for a solution that would tell me if a particular company has a website. The way I imagine using it is: I would send a phrase-based query to the API (for example "Salesforce Limited") and it would return a website if it has one in its database).
I checked Google Maps API and Google Places API but can's see if they provide website addresses for places.
I know Google displays a location on the right hand side if you type a name of the place and at times also has a website link referring to it:
example data I am after
Do you know if the website data can be accessed by any of the Google APIs and if not what could be an alternative way of obtaining such data?
Thanks

We are building a web application based on Google Drive API. We'd like to incorporate a facility of displaying who is viewing our "document" in real time like Google docs and spreadsheets are doing.
Implementing it from scratch would be quite challenging because of the necessity to track when a user leaves the page. So we'd first like to check if anything is already available for this purpose.
We have found out Google Analytics API may be helpful, but it can only give us a number, not user names.
Google Drive Realtime API looks promising and suitable for other needs of our development, however at the moment it's not clear whether it might help with displaying current viewers.
Any ideas on possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
This is possible in the realtime API. See https://developers.google.com/drive/realtime/handle-events#collaborator_events
There is an example of it in the Realtime Playground.
I want to use Google Maps API with Processing. Until now I was just able to get Google Places data, but I'm struggling with the map itself. I know about other map options, like unfold or modestMaps, but I need Google. In particular because of the directions API in further progress. I've searched this forum and the web, without any help. I thought it should be quite
easy.
How can I use Google Maps with Processing?
I'm not sure about getting a full featured, dynamic Google Maps within your Processing app, but you might be able to modify the Processing library for the Google Weather API to instead use the Directions or Static Maps APIs. http://www.onformative.com/lab/google-weather-library-for-processing/
If you download the source and check out GoogleWeather.java you can see the constructor is calling the WeatherAPI and getting back the XML result. I think you could do the same thing except use the Directions API in it's place.
Here's a post on a Java blog about showing Static Maps API results in Java, which might be translatable into Processing: http://weblogs.java.net/blog/cajo/archive/2010/10/16/adding-google-maps-your-java-application
For something more dynamic, you might be able to adapt JXMapViewer, check out this article: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2007/10/30/building-maps-into-swing-app-with-jxmapviewer.html
I am looking for a google-analytics-style map creating app or api based on visitor IP addresses, any suggestions?
thanks,

Did you take a look at the Google Visualization API? Specifically, the intensity map and the geomap.
I know there are a few of these services available. Try a google search for 'ip visitor geolocation' and similar combinations.
One that looks interesting is hostip.info as they have a community-maintained IP geolocation database that you can download in full if you wish to roll your own map.
They also provide a service where you can upload your logs to generate a little map image if you don't want to do the work yourself.
We recently added a feature for this to our EmbeddedAnalytics service. It is all based on your Google Analytics data and utilizes Google's Exp API for the data.
