Map ID with Styling

  • This webpage provides code samples demonstrating how to style a Google Map using a Map ID.

  • The samples include TypeScript, JavaScript, CSS, and HTML code snippets to implement the functionality.

  • Users can try the sample on JSFiddle or Google Cloud Shell, or clone the sample locally using Git and Node.js.

  • To run the sample locally, users need to clone the repository, install dependencies, and start the application using npm commands.

  • Users can explore other samples by switching to different branches in the repository.

Read thedocumentation on map styling.

TypeScript

functioninitMap():void{newgoogle.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map")asHTMLElement,{mapId:"8e0a97af9386fef",center:{lat:48.85,lng:2.35},zoom:12,}asgoogle.maps.MapOptions);}declareglobal{interfaceWindow{initMap:()=>void;}}window.initMap=initMap;
Note: Read theguide on using TypeScript and Google Maps.

JavaScript

functioninitMap(){newgoogle.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),{mapId:"8e0a97af9386fef",center:{lat:48.85,lng:2.35},zoom:12,});}window.initMap=initMap;
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. */#map{height:100%;}/* * Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */html,body{height:100%;margin:0;padding:0;}

HTML

<html>  <head>    <title>Using a Map Id</title>    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./style.css" />    <script type="module" src="./index.js"></script>  </head>  <body>    <div></div>    <!--       The `defer` attribute causes the script to execute after the full HTML      document has been parsed. For non-blocking uses, avoiding race conditions,      and consistent behavior across browsers, consider loading using Promises. See      https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/load-maps-js-api      for more information.      -->    <script      src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyB41DRUbKWJHPxaFjMAwdrzWzbVKartNGg&callback=initMap&v=weekly"      defer    ></script>  </body></html>
