I am building a social application on React native.
I need to add location sharing with google maps.
For example, I want to open google maps, select a location then press on Share and I want to see my app is included in the list which I can share that location with, like in Whatsapp.
I Know about the Share element in react native which allows sharing stuff between apps, but what I need is the other way around, from google to my app.
I hope I was able to clear my point.
I did some searching but all I find is how to implement google maps in react native which I am not looking for.
I hope someone could help me with this.
Thank you in advance.

I would like to display a list of multiple paths using the api, like the red box in the attached photo, but I do not seem to have a good guide to look for the api document.
I want to know how to implement it.
I would appreciate your help.
This is a pretty complicated endeavor to simply have someone walk you through without having built your own code. That said the I would recomend reading through the google resource manual. And here is a walkthrough once you understand some basics of google maps javascript control.
tutorial
There are free resources to figure it out. Though there are even better paid resources. Just check out Udemy for a 10$ course (you have to sign in and search a coupon, but you can get access to any great course for $10)
Give it a shot and get back to us when you have tried some stuff specifically.
I using google map in my web application. But the problem is that my client wants exactly like in photo
What is the name of that design. I have to customize by myself or that is the design offered by Google API ?
I normally use a service like this when I need to customise a Google map, http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/styledmaps/wizard/index.html?utm_medium=twitter
There are other websites with similar tools, e.g. https://snazzymaps.com/ but I'd definitely recommend using one of these over coding it by hand.
I am building a collaborative web app to share places and media related to this place .
I am new to Google Maps and still new to Ruby on Rails . I need to have a user to mark a location on a map (using Google Map) then share an event in this map. It's kind of a collaborative tool using a map ?
I can't find an operational code example on Github or blogpost/Tutorial that explain a similar scenario .
Does anyone have one to share? Thanks.
I did this app a while back: http://pinme.herokuapp.com try it out, if is usefull for you i can share you the source
You can create map pins give them a title and share them with a url, also they get saved on your pins section
here is the github: https://github.com/kazpsp/pinme
Please can someone point me in the right direction.
I have spent a few days watching videos and reading up on google maps and am more confused now than when I started.
I run a worpress site and want to add a google map to show venues. I have done this by copying the the html from a previous google map that I created. I decided to start afresh and try to style the map that it looks more attractive and also see if I could create a database with my site locations that I could update.
In the process I came across a pluging that asked me for my API key. I struggled to find my API key and then started reading that google maps has done away with its previous version and is now using something called Google Maps JavaScript API v3.
Please can someone guide me how to go about using this and what its all about. I've read up on Google Maps JavaScript API v3 but am still confused. ?
If someone has some useful videos, like idiots guide to getting started....
The basic documentation can be found at google's developers site. If you are struggling with the basic maps functionality and skinning, you may find it helpful to use a wrapper that simplifies a lot of the process, like this gmaps project on github.
If you have a more specific problem, maybe you could edit your post and list exactly what hurdles you are facing.
If you are using Wordpress, why not try a plugin directly? It would probably take care of all the specifics, and leave you with just having to deal with managing the site. This one has rather good ratings:

Regarding your API key, it's something Google gives you when you register your site in order to use Maps. Try re registering.

Is it possible to add google maps on a site designed specifically for the iPhone? I have never integrated maps in my websites before, so this question really goes more because of my inexperience.
Using basic html and javascript at the moment.
The Google Maps API V3 is specifically designed to work efficiently on mobile devices. There are some great tutorials here and here.
Any link to a Google Maps URL will automatically open in the Maps application, which may be more useful than simply embedding a map view in the website itself.
For example, a link to http://maps.google.com/maps?q=cupertino will automatically open the Maps application and run a search for "cupertino".
I think, if you only need a google map with some simple function. The simplest way is use the MapKit.Framework, it's a part of iphone OS. You can find the document here.
If you need to load your own web site, you need to use UIWebView. you can find the document here(http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/UIKit/Reference/UIWebView_Class/Reference/Reference.html).
I think these two ways can help you solve your problem.
And sorry about the link, because I'm not allowed to post more than one hyperlink.
