I m actually developping an application using Google Maps v3 and http://angular-ui.github.io/angular-google-maps.
Actually, I have to display some polygons (and it works well) but I want to display information inside this, like how many beer bars are present here, or how many restaurant ect...
In fact, I only need to display something, but I dont know how. I know how to make it with marker, but not with polygones and polylines...
Can you help me ?
Thanks for advance

I am using Google javascript api Currently. I would like to add new places like add small villages in the map, these small village does not appear in google map even when I am highest zoom. I know villages Lat/Lang and would like to add them when someone zoom in map (placed in my website). I can use Marker to accomplish similar, But it is not same as having places by default appear on map.
I tried searching stackoverflow and elsehere on net, But could not find any references. If someone can please sugggest on it
You need to request it from google: google.com/mapmaker
You need to drew a polygon of the city borders.
every request must to be approved by google.
Hope its help.
I used MarkWithLabel to accompalish http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/markerwithlabel/1.1.8/docs/examples.html
I'm trying to create a map that shows county/district areas using Google Maps that will allow users to click on the area to retrieve relevant pop up information.
I have two datasets that I think would help, one being a list of UK Postcodes which would in turn allow me to determine different postal areas and the other is a dataset from Ordance Survey that contains province borders (county/district borders).
I've looked into KML Files and ImageMap but I'm not sure how to create these areas using the data I have?
I'm looking to achieve the sort of map that is used here:

Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
The way to work with Google maps is by using their api closely. You cannot go with simple image mapping.
Try those two links for starters:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/polygon-simple
and
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#Polygon.
In short - you may need to draw a polygon for every area, bind a click event to it, then show Info Window with the relevant information for the user.
In case you're new to google maps, you may need to take more time inspecting their Api and the examples they give.
Best regards.
I would change look and feel of Google map , is this possible .I would like to show only country co-ordinates.I want to show only countries with boundaries highlighted.If yes can you please let me know how this could be done.
This is possible, google maps has a full API that gives you loads of control over how your map looks.

If you want to make life a little easier for yourself you can use this plugin.

I have a problem with google map now. That is I dont know how to capture a picture from google map. I developed my app which used google map api ver3 and it can show multiple markers, lines, my app's icons, circles and many things like that. So, it's hard to use Google static map API url such as
maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Boston,MA
&visible=77+Massachusetts+Ave,Cambridge,MA%7CHarvard+Square,Cambridge,MA&size=512x512&sensor=true_or_false
Hope everyone there suggest any solution for me! Thank you !
P/S: I used google map v3, asp.net.
Im trying to highlight specific building within a map using the google maps v3 api. I was wondering if anyone had any idea how to do this. I've been looking through google api documentation and come across nothing at the moment.
For example: http://goo.gl/maps/GyrDB - This is a map of a section manhattan, as you can see the 3d building. Im trying to highlight specific ones on hover.
Thanks :D
If you have information about where the building is, then you can use a Polygon to highlight it. If you don't have information about where the building is, then you are probably out of luck. The Google Maps API doesn't have any way of interacting with the map at that level.
Now, I suppose that one thing you could do is:
download the Google Maps tile,
find the point in the image that the user clicked on,
do a flood fill of that point with some awful colour,
set to clear all the pixels which are not the colour,
overlay that image on top of your map
You would also need to be clever about buildings which lie in more than one tile.
HOWEVER, this might run you afoul of the Terms of Use. I know that they disallow modifying the artwork; I am not sure if this would count as modifying the artwork; you'd need to look carefully at the TOU and maybe ask a lawyer. Or ask Google. (Don't ask me, I am not a lawyer.)
In many countries, every building is a cadastral parcel and there Web Map Service (WMS) layers showing them, provided for free by state bodies.
Using these layers, you can get building polygon coordinates. For ex: https://snag.gy/WtU7ZT.jpg
