I want to place a link on my website that links to google maps,
however I can't find information on how to form the url.
I have lat and lng coordinates and I want a marker to show the exact point.
I have this for example
http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ll=55.236865,-1.616422&z=15
but it shows no marker
This can be done even easier now: https://google.com/maps/place/55.236861,-1.616417
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Via+Celadina,+4,+24125+Bergamo+Bergamo,+Lombardy,+Italy&sll=6.315299,14.414063&sspn=123.405342,329.0625&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=0,45.688764,9.709610&ll=45.689094,9.709618&spn=0.00676,0.020084&t=h&z=16&iwloc=addr

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 !
Is it possible to link to a Google map (hosted by google, link starting with maps.google.com) and include a marker/icon?
E.g. I have the following link:
https://www.google.ch/maps/#47.5677272,7.6109065,14z?hl=de
Can I do something like this:
https://www.google.ch/maps/#47.5677272,7.6109065,14z?hl=de&iconurl=url/on/my/server&iconpos=47.5677272,7.6109065
If I understand correctly you want a map that displays a marker at the specified coordinates. See if this link is what you need. just add place and two slash
map link
I need to redirect from a static google maps image via the Static Maps API to maps.google.com.
I have multiple markers on the map. Example: "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?size=235x227&maptype=roadmap&markers=37.970982,23.724559|37.971487,23.724953|37.973291,23.726862"
I need the proper url format that, when the image is clicked, will redirect to maps.google.com with all markers placed on the map. I cant find the documentation on how to do this.
There are no way to add markers into the google maps now.. so the answer is no.
However, you can build a custom page, which uses the google maps API and you can add markers that way.
I built a sample page here in github.
so for your map:
you can wrap it with an a element which link to your page with the same option like this sample:
http://kylelam.github.io/SO/customMarkers.html?size=235x227&maptype=roadmap&markers=37.970982,23.724559|37.971487,23.724953|37.973291,23.726862
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 know I can do it with the Google Maps API, but do you know if there is a way to change the marker in an embedded Google Map?
I want to replace the default "A" button for a "B" button or the marker with just a dot in the middle.
I haven't played around with embedding Google Maps before (I generally go straight to the API for stuff like this). I tried a couple of approaches:
I figured maybe the embed syntax would be the same as the static maps api. So I grabbed a static maps URL, copied the markers param from that and tried sticking it into the iFrame URL. This didn't work so much.
I created a Google MyPlaces and customized the marker to use the one your provided. This created a Test map which had the appropriate marker icon. I then grabbed the embed code and stuck it on a test page and voila!
Actually I had the same problem but didn't use any of the methods above and thought I share:
If you only want a marker as I did but don't want to use API then simply fool google into thinking you want a route planned using the GET tags "saddr" and "daddr"
"saddr" defines your start location (post code , street name+ number, whatever)
ONLY define saddr and leave out daddr and google maps will by default still show the marker for "A" (your start location) exactly where you want it , all in iframe without API.
