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.
Google Static Map API
Here it is

Given a set of points of interests, how can I allow the user of a Flutter app to draw a polygon on Google maps and retrieve all the POIs inside the defined area?
Is there any Google maps API functionality that can help me to achieve this?
I need to implement a functionality similar to the following but on Flutter: https://kb.ihomefinder.com/s/article/draw-on-map-consumer-polygon-search
I would use the map_view package for that.
Here is a great tutorial for polygons and markers.
Good day !
I'm developing custom service, that will grab params form Google Maps url, like https://www.google.nl/maps/search/fietsenmaker/#52.1285737,5.0837216,13z/data=!3m1!4b1?hl=en. From this example it's possible to take search param, longitude, latitude and zoom level. All this params will pass to Google Places API and markers will be drawn on Google map. The main problem, i can't get this markers look same as on embed Google Maps. Here is attachment:
In simple words:
Need to dynamically embed map with listing of places, that was originally in search param and place map center according lat/long with original markers as on embed map.
Any ideas ?
Thanks !
Google Embed API will allow you to embed maps with starting params, like map center, object name. You can find it here https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/embed/guide
Good luck everybody !
i am placing some locations on google map. i need to set text next to marker on the map. is there a way to do it ? because i can not see any tools or option provided by google maps to do.
its not an application i am developing or coding. i am just saving locations on google map site.
Thanks
Look at the InfoBox from the utility libraries. There is an example in the documentation.
I am currently working with the Google Maps API and returning static maps (images) from the API.
I need to place markers on the map. The documentation says how to place markers on the map by defining long/lat values: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/staticmaps/#Markers
My problem is that i don´t know where to place the markers. I want a google maps search phrase to determine the placement of the markers. Is that possible?
To sum up:
I want to submit a search phrase to the API and have a static map (image) returned with markers matching my search phrase.
You can place markers based on an address:
http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=55.665149742004,12.5627200816055&zoom=12&size=640x640&sensor=false&maptype=hybrid&markers=color:blue|label:S|smallegade%201,%20frederiksberg
Yes, it's possible. Try this:
http://code.google.com/intl/pl/apis/maps/documentation/geocoding/
This particular link regards to Maps API Web Services, but there are others api, for javascript for instance.
Generaly you need Geocoging that tranlate address to latitude and longitude
I believe you can not search a term in Maps Static version. It is not in the accepted parameters: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/maps-static/dev-guide#Usage
Try using Embed or JavaScript versions instead.
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.
