I'm using google maps to geolocate users on my website. After that I would need to find different services near them (I would like to have ability for webpage to input search term in google maps with geolocaion) Is this possible? and if it is how could I do it?
You can use following example for searching places.
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/nearbysearch/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&type=restaurant&name=cruise&key=YOUR-API-KEY-GOES-HERE
You have to create project in google console using below link
https://console.developers.google.com
Then create browser key and that key is which you have to use in above url which mention.
Last thing you need to enable Google Places API Web Service from https://console.developers.google.com
See below link for more detailed document.
https://developers.google.com/places/web-service/search#PlaceSearchRequests
Let me know if any issue you faced.

You need to get a license for google maps api as , Google has implemented a new Pricing module in july for google maps.
Google's new billing and pricing model requires you to add a credit card to use even the free API's. If you are using the Javascript API for Static Maps, it is no longer free. The documentation/tutorial page which shows code examples, will provide a key, however it will not work until you add your billing info.

I have always worked very effortlessly with Google Maps and their iFrame which displays the business on the webpage with their information, like this.
How is this possible with the javascript API? I have succesfully made a dark map with that, but I want to display the business also. Do I have to use another API for that?
I dont believe this is possible using only the google maps api. You could use the Google Places api https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/places#place_details.
Then you would need to create your own display for the information. I dont think there is any way to get this kind of functionality right out of the gate.
I have to use google map. I use below google API script
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MY_API_KEY"></script>
And i got below Error
Google Maps API error: DeletedApiProjectMapError https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/error-messages#deleted-api-project-map-error
I created a New Project & New API key. But still this error came. Kindly help to solve this error.
Yo should go to https://console.developers.google.com and after create your API KEY, go to "Google Maps JavaScript API" and just ENABLE (by default is DISABLE)
You need to enable Maps JavaScript API for your website.
API link: https://console.developers.google.com/apis/library/maps-backend.googleapis.com?q=map
Based from this documentation, the DeletedApiProjectMapError means that your API project may have been deleted from the Google API Console. Please check the project for which you generated the API key that's included in JavaScript API loader.
Since you have already created a new API project and get a new key on the Google API Console, one workaround I found on this forum is to try deactivating all plugins to see if one of them is causing a conflict.
Check this related link. It states that:
I created new API keys in the first project for those maps again and deleted second project. The maps work partially now - without markers. It looks a little like manual blocking by someone on the Google maps side. Maybe someone is blocking access to Marker Manager .js file somewhere between my computer and a server where it is stored to ban my website.
Hope this helps!
I activate/enable more API Google Maps on https://console.developers.google.com and disappear this error.
You have deleted the project in google cloud platform of which you created an API.Regenrate Api by creating a new Project in google cloud platform.
There some answers saying the JavaScript API needs to be enabled as it is disabled by default. That seems to have changed. It was enabled by default in my account. It did not work anyway. I had to disable and reenable the API, then it worked.
Also it is to be noted that Google says it may take a couple of minutes upon creation until the API key works, that may also have been the thing.
I'm building an admin panel here at work and recording some ip data from users who are downloading our itunes mp3's. We have the ip and location of the user, but I'd like some way of displaying that visually. Is there any jquery plugin or addon that would allow me to display the stats I collected visually on a map similar to the way Google Analytics does it?
Have you tried the Google Chart Tools api (https://developers.google.com/chart/) ?
There is a geo chart which I think is exactly what you are talking about.

https://code.google.com/apis/ajax/playground/?type=visualization#geo_chart
jVectorMap could also be suitable here.
I want to use google maps in JSP page, I tried to create it, but it gave me an error of Give API Key.
Google Maps is a Javascript API. Your issue is not JSP related.
Take a look at the tutorial and let us know if you get stuck. However, it sounds as though you need to apply for an API key, and use that correctly.
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial.html
Google Maps can be used without API Key.A limited amount of data is provided in such a way(might be for testing).However if you want to use it properly then an API key is required for sure.
The Key is generated through Google Api...
