Book Description

This book gives you a hands-on, beginner-level introduction to developing mapping applications using the Google Maps JavaScript API. Learn the ins and outs of the API so that you can harness the power of Google Maps within your own websites and applications. Lewin will take you from requesting an API key, through adding overlays, to customizing the generation of directions in your app.

It is a really handy guide to creating custom Google Maps with programming, allowing you to use the software in ways that are impossible through the typical user interface at maps.google.com. Prior programming experience is required, but the exercises build in complexity throughout the book to give you a thorough understanding of controlling factors on a map such as color, highlighting an area, graphical overlays, inputting locations, and much more.
