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

I'm working on a project similar to uber and I want the user to be able to see both his and the driver's location on the same map using leaflet. Is it possible? If so how can I use it and where can I find tutorials about it?
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 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.
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.

I am in a need of a solution for mobile devices, which will allow to display offline map with some 400 POIS of a given city. I have digged a bit and am stacked with the idea. I will develop my application with rhomobile, so I would have browser, ruby .
Could you maybe give some hint which library and tools should I use? It seems openstreetmap is what I need , but I don't understand or don't know which tool can do following
1) Expprt the whole city into offline file which then could be loaded by some javascript library from local folder and show
I have found out that with mapnik I can generate map tiles and offline in mobile app use them. Openlayers will serve as map showing framework.
Thanks for them who tried to help.
