By Ken Hoetmer, Product Manager, Google Maps JavaScript APIsWe’re constantly working to build the most comprehensive, accurate and usable maps in the world for our users--no matter where or how they access Google Maps. While millions of people come directly to
maps.google.com to search for a nearby business or get directions, many people around the globe experience Google Maps on their favorite website or application thanks to the
Google Maps API (and some very talented developers). In fact, today 800,000 active websites and apps are using the Google Maps API to create interesting and useful experiences for you.
MoreThanAMap.comTo demonstrate the capabilities and features of the Google Maps API, today we’re launching a new website called
morethanamap.com. This site showcases the unique features of the Google Maps API and how developers are using it.
Through
morethanamap.com you’ll learn how developers can embed popular Google Maps features like Street View, public transit directions, location data, and advanced data visualization capabilities into their website or app. The interactive demos on
morethanamap.com show how these features are ready to be added to any website or app.
Developers can use the Google Maps API to embed Street View imagery into their sites Even if you’re not a developer, the animated
London Heathrow flight map or
global population heat map are a fun way to visualize data and explore the power of Google Maps.
Google Maps Developers Stories from Around the WorldMorethanamap.com also features stories from our community of developers who are using the Google Maps API to
start businesses,
help improve their communities or
save the environment. Starting next week we’ll showcase these stories weekly on the
Geo Developers Blog. And follow us on
Google+ to learn more.
