Make places clickable

The following example demonstrates how to show a popover containing placeinformation when a place is clicked.

JavaScript

letmap3DElement=null;asyncfunctioninit(){const{Map3DElement}=awaitgoogle.maps.importLibrary('maps3d');{}map3DElement=newMap3DElement({center:{lat:51.532,lng:-0.124,altitude:30},range:1400,tilt:64,heading:-5,mode:'HYBRID',gestureHandling:'COOPERATIVE',});document.body.append(map3DElement);map3DElement.addEventListener('gmp-click',async(event)=>{event.preventDefault();if(event.placeId){constplace=awaitevent.fetchPlace();awaitplace.fetchFields({fields:['*']});// Display place details.document.getElementById('placeName').innerHTML='<b>Name :</b><br>&nbsp;'+place.displayName;document.getElementById('placeId').innerHTML='<b>Id :</b><br>&nbsp;'+place.id;document.getElementById('placeType').innerHTML='<b>Types :<b/>';for(consttypeofplace.types){document.getElementById('placeType').innerHTML+='<br>&nbsp;'+type;}document.getElementById('details').style.display='block';}});}init();
Note: The JavaScript is compiled from the TypeScript snippet.

CSS

/* * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element * that contains the map. */html,body{height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;font-family:'Centra No2',-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,'Segoe UI',Roboto,'Helvetica Neue',Arial,sans-serif;font-size:0.9em;}.textContainer{background-color:#4d90fe;margin:10px;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;left:50%;top:10px;border:1pxsolidwhite;border-radius:10px;padding:5px;z-index:1000;color:white;}.detailsContainer{background-color:#00000078;margin:10px;overflow:hidden;position:absolute;top:100px;left:10px;padding:10px;z-index:1000;display:none;color:white;border-radius:15px;}
