Posted by Keith Golden, My Maps team When we launched the map editing tools in Google Maps, the reaction of developers was "This is cool, but how can I use it on my own site?" As someone who was originally drawn to Google in part because of the Maps API and the great developer community around it, I committed to making the My Maps tools useful for developers on their own sites. Today, I'm pleased
Posted by Mike Jones, Maps API Team Here at Google, we receive a lot of feature requests - and it feels great every time we fulfill one of them. The ability to utilize the power of Google Maps from Flash is one of those requests that has been popping up on blog posts and other forums since the beginning of time (or more accurately, the beginning of the Javascript Maps API). Over the past few hours
Posted by James McGill, Maps API Team For the past three months I have had the great pleasure of working as an intern with the Google Maps API team in Sydney. Unfortunately my time is now up and I must head back to the mundane life of a undergraduate scholar, but before I do I'm ecstatic to announce that my intern project is FINALLY complete: Street View is now in the Google Maps API! Many of you
Posted by Pamela Fox, Maps API Team In the talk I gave last fall about Maps Mashups Usability, I mentioned that one way to make your map more informative at first glance is to use the color and size of a marker to indicate categorical or density information. Previously, that would mean using an image editing program or server-side image generation script to create all the various marker icons need
Posted by Pamela Fox, Google Maps API Team Why re-invent the wheel when you can copy and paste our wheel instead? In the Google Maps API group and in my Inbox, developers often ask me questions such as "How do I draw a circle on the map?" or "How do I create groups of toggle-able markers?" Most of those questions are answered in the usage of little demo applications that I or one of our great exte
Posted by Tom Manshreck, Maps API Team If you're a regular reader of this blog, you probably already use the Google Maps API and love it as much as we do! But you may find it not useful for certain cases: the Google Maps API requires JavaScript, can take a while to load over slow connections, and requires some overhead to maintain a dynamic website. The Google Static Maps API provides a simpler wa
Posted by Tom Manshreck, Google Maps API 開発者のみなさん、こんにちは and 您好,开发者! (Hello Developers!) (This post has been translated into Japanese and Simplified Chinese.) Google operates worldwide, and nowhere is that more self-evident than in Google Maps, where you can actually see the world! We are happy to announce that the entire documentation set for the Google Maps API has undergone translation into Japa
Posted by Michael Weiss-Malik, Geo Team Google Moon and Google Mars are great examples of what can be done with the Google Maps API. But in the rush to get both products out the door, we never quite got around to going the extra step and providing support in the Maps API itself for the tiles that Google Moon and Google Mars use. Until now, that is! Fresh out of the oven, Maps API v2.95 includes ex
Posted by Gregor J. Rothfuss, Maps Team and Kevin Marks, Apps Team If you have spent any time in certain corners of the web, you will have heard of Microformats: Clever uses of HTML that add machine-readability to everyday web pages while preserving human-readability. Microformats allow tools to make more sense of your web pages, while not changing the visual appearance for visitors to your site o
Posted by Pamela Fox, Maps API Team In the latest v2.82 release of the API, we've added 2 additional functions to the GClientGeocoder: setViewport, and setBaseCountryCode. These two functions will help you instruct the geocoder to prefer results within a certain area or country (but not to restrict the results). In the example below, you can test out the influence of setBaseCountryCode. Enter a co
Posted by Pamela Fox, Maps API Team When traffic was released in Google Maps to the celebration of cranky drivers everywhere, API developers immediately asked if they could include this useful overlay in their maps as well. Well, we heard the call and quietly released GTrafficOverlay in the API v2.81 (along with driving directions). The following line of code will add the traffic overlay to your m
Posted by Pamela Fox, Maps API Team Do you ever have the experience where you're sitting there staring at a map, and you know exactly the area you want to zoom onto, but it takes you 3 double clicks, 5 pans, and some scroll wheel action to get there? At those times, I always wish I had something which would let me just drag a rectangle on the map to zoom in. Luckily, developer Andre Lewis realized
Posted by Yatin Chawathe, Software Engineer> This morning, we updated the Google Maps API to add support for driving directions. The simplest way to add driving directions to your page is to create a map, create a DIV for the directions panel, attach both of them to the new GDirections object, and fire off a query to it! var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map")); var panel = document.get
Posted by Pamela Fox, Maps API Team The latest version of the API exposes two features that have often been requested (or reverse engineered) by API developers: the ability to enable the mouse wheel zoom used on maps.google.com, and the ability to create GPolygons from encoded points. To get started using the new features, read through the examples and explanations below. 1) Scroll wheel zoom: The
Posted by Pamela Fox, Maps API Team In the past, only those privileged few developers with access to server-side scripting and a database like MySQL were able to create easily updated dynamic maps mashups. With the introduction of the Google Spreadsheets Data API, all of that has changed. Like the other GData APIs, the spreadsheets API has an optional JSON output. If you don't know about JSON, it'
Posted by Pamela Fox, Maps API Team The Google Maps API Team is excited to announce our new open source project, the GMaps Utility Library. This project will be hosted on code.google.com and will let the Google engineers for the Maps API work hand-in-hand with the many great developers in the Maps API community. Together, we can extend the core Maps API and ensure that every developer need is met.
Posted by Nigel Tao, Software Engineer, Google Maps Team One of the things I love most about Google Maps and Google Earth is that it's easy for anyone to create and display new geographically referenced content. Whether it's pictures from your vacation, favorite places on the globe, or the hiking trails you like to visit, all you have to do is create a KML file (using Google Earth or any other too
Posted by Pamela Fox, Google Maps API Team API v2.75 (2.x) now introduces the setImage method for GMarker, as noted in the forums. In the past, changing the image of a marker usually required creating multiple arrays of markers for each image change and some tricky switching between the arrays. Now changing the image just requires one method call. To show one way you could exploit GMarker.setImage
Posted by Pamela Fox, Support Engineer, Maps API Team Hi all, my name's Pamela Fox. I've just joined the Maps API team and will be working part-time on various projects until I finish my Masters in C.S. at USC and join full-time. I'm looking forward to making GMaps easier to work with for developers and first-timers. To start off my time here, I've made a simple example showing off what you can do
Posted by Brandon Badger, Product Manager, Google Maps API Your Google Maps API powered site has lots of great content. Including KML files in a sitemap.xml file (see http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html ) is a great way for you to help us index and drive traffic to your site. After publishing your data in KML, we'll crawl the KML files that you specify in your sitemap.xml file. We'll send users
Posted by 徳生健太郎 (Ken Tokusei), Product Manager, Google Maps Japan Maps API 開発コミュニティーの皆様へ Google Maps APIでも、日本の住所や駅名によるジオコーディングがご利用いただけるようになりました。Maps APIを利用したサイトでは、Google マップと同様、ユーザーが入力した住所の緯度経度を割り出し、表示される地図の場所させることができようになりました。実装例はこちらをどうぞ。 尚、日本語での利用が主なサイトでは、JavaScript のソースURL のホスト名をmaps.google.co.jp にすることをお勧めします(.co.jp のドメインを使用することで、地図・写真切り替えモードのボタンも日本語で表示されるようになります)。 それでは、Web of the Year 2006 地図部門
Posted by Nigel Tao, Software Engineer Strictly speaking, it's not part of the Maps API (yet...), but we have previously announced the ability to show simple KML/KMZ files (as made in Google Earth) in Google Maps, so you can show your own stuff on top of Maps without having to learn any Javascript. For example, you can show crop circle locations as markers, and the Tour de France route as polyline
Doug Ricket & Bo Majewski, Software Engineers, Google Maps With 2.67, we're releasing the new GMarkerManager class. The marker manager is our contribution toward helping users display many points on a map, and while it may not fit every scenario, we hope it will be useful as an "out-of-the-box" ready-made solution. It manages the task of displaying markers relevant to the user's viewport and zoom
Posted by 徳生健太郎 (Ken Tokusei), Product Manager, Google Maps Japan Maps API 開発者のみなさまへ 本日、Google マップのタイルを更新しました。フォントの変更や、より日本の地理特徴を生かした描画になっています。これに伴い、今まで日本ではサポートされていなかった「地図+写真」モードもサポートされるようになりました。新宿副都心の様子は、次のようになります 最新版の地図画像を利用するにはMaps API バーション2が必要です。また、日本ではズームレベルが18、19 と増えますが、Maps API での利用はあと数週間で可能になる予定です。 ではここで記念に、スタッフから、短歌を一首: 地図更新 きれいになったし 地図+写真 ビルももみじも くっきり見える Google マップ開発チーム一同 Translation: D
Posted by Bo Majewski, Software Engineer A friendly reminder to all -- please upgrade your site to use API v2, if you haven't already. We plan to shut down API v1 in a month. Revision 2.64 of the Maps API v2 introduces more performance enhancements that let you add and remove markers from the map faster than ever. According to our internal tests, addOverlay() is now 2.3 times faster in Firefox and
Posted by Joel Headley, Google Maps API Evangelist Recent changes to the Maps API v2 include several bug fixes, improvements in API performance, and updated high-resolution satellite imagery for places around the world. New satellite imagery. We've updated a significant portion of our imagery database. We now have high-resolution imagery for 17 additional US cities (Albuquerque, Augusta, Baltimore
Posted by Rob Schonberger, Software Engineer Revision 2.61 introduces 2 cool new features -- draggable markers and GTileLayerOverlays. Draggable markers We added draggable markers as a hidden feature in revision 2.46, but today they are making their official debut as part of the Maps API. To make a marker draggable, set the marker option draggable to true when you declare it: var marker = new GMar
Posted by Bo Majewski, Software Engineer On Sunday night we silently updated the Google Maps API to include geocoding, our #1 most requested feature by developers. It took just 4 hr 32 min 19 sec for curious developers (Mike Williams in this case) to discover it in our new JavaScript files. The Maps API provides two ways to access the geocoder. You can talk to our geocode servers directly via HTTP
Posted by Bret Taylor, Product Manager Maps API Version 2 is officially launching! We're starting the beta-test of the new version that many of you have already been playing with these past few weeks. Version 2 Features Version 2 cleans up much of the API and improves performance and stability in fundamental ways based on the feedback of many API sites. It also includes a number of frequently-requ
