Can I customize Google Map to like this? - javascript

My client wanted me to update his Google map to a 'new' one, which looks like this: http://snag.gy/McZSd.jpg. Is there any setting used?

I think what you want to look at is Google Map's map types

Assuming your client's Google map is a JS map, the first step is to turn on visual refresh to get the new colors and fonts: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/map-simple-refresh
As to building new style UI controls over a full bleed map, that is going to require you to spend some time in HTML and CSS land. =)

You can use Google Maps API and code it by hand if you are good at coding :)

Customize Google map V3 infowindow of defaults

When you fully setup your Custom infowindow, you can set whatever content you wanted.
However, I am talking about the businesses that google map v3 initially added. How do I go about adjust the default infowindows of varies businesses? Like add pictures, stars OR HIDE them all?
Any examples would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT:
First Example showing that it can be adjusted
Booking.com:
Second Example to hide all of them:
Redfin.com
How to adjust for google map defaults?
Please help me out! How do I do both? Hide & add pictures, stars etc to Default infowindow of google map v3?
A good way to compare would be to test the same places on those 3 map instances.
1st example: This is the default look. It can't be modified.
2nd example: You can use the styles to remove all or certain POI types on the map. See the documentation here. Also check the Styled Maps Wizard to help you build your styles.
3rd example: This is also the default look. If you need something else, then you will have to hide these POI (see above), create your own markers for the places you are interested in and create a custom InfoWindow.
Hope this helps.

Decarta - how to refresh map

I am using the Decarta JS API. I am displaying a map with layers. I want to refresh the map and redraw new layers, but I see no way to do this in the documentation.
Is there a way to refresh the map using the API?
If you just want to refresh a single overlay and not the entire map, you can do this:
myOverlay.render(myMap.tileGrid);
Assuming of course myMap is a deCarta.Core.Map and myOverlay is a deCarta.Core.MapOverlay.
If the size of map container changed, you need to do the following so that the required tiles are loaded after the resize:
myMap.resize();
Using JQuery, I am able to accomplish my desired results by simply removing all children from the designated container the map is added to:
$('#mapContainer').empty();
I feel this is a crude way to handle this functionality and am hoping someone knows a more elegant way.

How can you make a leaflet map re-sizable?

I have a leaflet map embedded in my page, but I want to add a control to allow the div with the leaflet map to be resized by the user. I've tried plugins like jquery.ba-resize, twinhelix and one other, but I can't seem to get something working that will allow me to have a button near the div with the leaflet map in it and to resize it on the fly.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Looks like I found an easy answer, I just took the id of my map ('map', creative), and did
$('#map).resizable();
with a jquery-ui plugin on the page.
Good enough for what I wanted!

How do I change the style of the infobox for a KML layer on google maps?

I'd like to bring in some data using a KML layers in google maps and it looks like google take the hard work out of clicking on each data point and showing the 'title, description, etc' for me, because of this though there is no options to define the style of an info box like normal.
Does anyone know how you can define the style of an info box that comes as part of introducing a KML layer?
Try this, this might help you.
