Create Google Maps from URLs

Question

Is there a way to build multiple addresses on one static map from the Google Maps API?

The following is an example of a single address:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=H9R1H3+57%20EASTVIEW%20AVENUE 

What would be an example URL of this type?

Google Maps API

Answer 3

The only way is to create a KML file that displays mulitple points.

It could even be a dynamic script.

eg,

http://server.com/kml?a=adress+one&b=address+two&c=address+three

may be a dynamic script that reads an address from a URL and outputs KML code.

You can pass this URL to Maps (maps accept the URL of the KML file in q = param-propelly, of course)

Answer 4

There is no need to use a KML file, we can directly access the Google Places API. The Google Places API response consists of all (actually a maximum of 20) places around your current location. sample url request as below.

 https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/search/json?location=-33.8670522,151.1957362&radius=500&types=food&name=harbour&sensor=false&key=AIzaSyAiFpFd85eMtfbvmVNEYuNds5TEF9FjIPI 

The response may be in Json or XML, depending on the response we are requesting.

I think you are looking for something like this?

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=Brooklyn+Bridge,New+York,NY&zoom=13& size = 600x300 & amp; MapType = Roadmap & Markers = Color: Blue% 7Clabel: S% 7C40.702147, -74.015794 & Markers = Color: Green% 7Clabel: G% 7C40.711614, -74.012318 & Markers = Color: Red% 7Ccolor : red% 7Clabel%: C 7C40.718217, -73,998284 & sensor = false

Look at the static api maps. For reference, static api maps are different from regular google api maps. So google maps api (current is v3) is another api from static api maps (current is v2).
