I need to remove all the places around my marker in Google Maps Javascript API. Is there any way to do it? I didn't find any useful information.
Here I show some places from Buenos Aires (screen shot from Google Maps, not from my JS implementation). All those brown markers must be gone.
I think I understand what you are asking and to me it seems like you might want to check out this previously resolved post.

This will help you remove the local listings from your google map.

I am trying to download lot of google earth areal and satellite view screenshots for each coordinates i got(more that 500). I am not sure how can I automate this. After some research i found some ways which include bing maps, Google api or javascript, But no one mentioned how to go ahead with that. Can someone suggest me a way to do this?
Thank you
Capturing and storing the imagery from Bing and Google Maps is against their respective terms of use and should not be done. This is likely why you are finding little information on how to do this.
We'd like to open a list of locations in a Google Map link. I've explored many possibilities, but I can't find how to do this.
The map I built using the JavaScript API doesn't show a link to Google Maps with markers on it. I hoped for a "View Larger Map" link like in the Embed API, but none of the variables seemed to add that. I tried the Embed API, but it doesn't take multiple markers.
We need to generate the list dynamically, so MyMaps doesn't work.
The Static Maps API isn't really a Google Map, in that you can't do anything with it.
I tried sending a KML file like this:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://example.com/j.kml
but it looks like Google has discontinued that.
The most promising thing has been the Directions API, but we don't want directions, just a bunch of markers. The URL structure that is showing multiple points is:
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Mi+Mero+Mole,+5026+Southeast+Division+Street,+Portland,+OR+97206/3+Doors+Down+Cafe,+Southeast+37th+Avenue,+Portland,+OR/Bunk+Downtown,+211+Southwest+6th+Avenue,+Portland,+OR+97204/#45.5135928,-122.661738,14z/
But I tried removing /dir/ to get rid of the directions and Google didn't like that. Has anyone had any luck with this?
My research on the same issue, shows that the directions URL -you have posted- is the most relevant solution at this point.
The only think I could possibly propose as an enhancement, is to leave the starting point blank so the user will be prompted to enter an address as a starting point or automatically enable geolocation by appending the Current+Location wording to the url next to /dir/:
Enable Geolocation
https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Current+Location/Mi+Mero+Mole,+5026+Southeast+Division+Street,+Portland,+OR+97206/3+Doors+Down+Cafe,+Southeast+37th+Avenue,+Portland,+OR/Bunk+Downtown,+211+Southwest+6th+Avenue,+Portland,+OR+97204/#45.5135928,-122.661738,14z/
Leave Starting Point Empty
https://www.google.com/maps/dir//Mi+Mero+Mole,+5026+Southeast+Division+Street,+Portland,+OR+97206/3+Doors+Down+Cafe,+Southeast+37th+Avenue,+Portland,+OR/Bunk+Downtown,+211+Southwest+6th+Avenue,+Portland,+OR+97204/#45.5135928,-122.661738,14z/
I want to create a Web application in which I need a map data of certain area and would like to show the details or location of my customers.
I have seen the Google maps api, but I was searching if I could get something privately for my web application.
Please reply. Thanks.in advance
You can add marker to your map. Markers are designed to be interactive with 'click' events. You can add an event listener to bring up an info window displaying custom information. These marker will only show what you specify. They will not show other marker ( shops,petrol bunks,aims etc)
You can always use the Places API from Google in order to show various places on the Google Maps and also the detailed description about that Places.
Here is the detailed description for the Places API.
Here is a tutorial that may help you in your implementation.
I am creating a web app. One of the page is designed to show google map of an address traced from database. So after I get langitude and latitude using gencode, I know how to draw the google map, but how do I show an address tag on that map? Any help is appreciated.
You are probably talking about a Marker concept.
Take a look at this article
A couple of other SO folks asked similar questions. These might be helpful:
Draggable markers
While this may be OT, if you ever decide to remove a marker, also look at this question
There is also detailed Marker docs available at the usual API docs site
I was wondering, with the free version... Can I plot the more default markers (from maps.google.com). The kind which when clicked, offer the option to enter driving directions and other tid-bits pulled from google's search of a business (eg: reviews).
Options like driving directions can be achieved by adding links to the infowindow that call the part of your code that does GDirections calls.
If you've got some reviews, then the Maps API provides you with the tools necessary to display them in the infowindow.
You need to code each of the other tid-bits you want individually. Almost all of them can be achieved with sufficient effort, but there's no shortcut. Be warned. Google are consstantly improving maps.google.com. If you get your site to work exactly like maps.google.com today, you may well find that when you look again a few months later, there are significant differences.
If you want something that does the whole lot exactly like Google, then you might consider using Google Maps itself, or an embedded Google Map, rather than using the API.
