Google Maps API Tutorial This tutorial is intended to help you create your own interactive maps using the Google API. Do take a look at the Google documentation .
Exploring The Google Earth API - DevelopRIA
Back in June, Google released the Google Earth API , which is a javascript-enabled browser plugin version of Google Earth . I finally got a chance to explore the Google Earth API, and here's the result. (Sorry non-Windows users, the Google Earth API only supports Windows) In my opinion, one of the most interesting things that can be visualized on a map is weather information and radar. The Google Earth api is the perfect medium to render this kind of data, so I figured that was a good place to start. The Google Earth API supports kml rendering, and image overlays.GeoCommons is the public community of GeoIQ users who are building an open repository of data and maps for the world. The GeoIQ platform includes a large number of features that empower you to easily access, visualize and analyze your data. We've highlighted just a few of these features below. You can watch any of our videos to learn more, or just sign up for free to get started building your own maps.

Audience This documentation is designed for people familiar with JavaScript programming and object-oriented programming concepts. You should also be familiar with Google Maps from a user's point of view. There are many JavaScript tutorials available on the Web. This conceptual documentation is designed to let you quickly start exploring and developing applications with the Google Maps API. We also publish the Google Maps API Reference .

Overlays - Google Maps JavaScript API V3 - Google Code
Overlays Overview Overlays are objects on the map that are tied to latitude/longitude coordinates, so they move when you drag or zoom the map. Overlays reflect objects that you "add" to the map to designate points, lines, areas, or collections of objects. The Maps API has several types of overlays: Single locations on the map are displayed using markers .
GPS Visualizer map input form: Plot quantitative data
This is a special version of the GPS Visualizer map form that's designed for plotting quantifiable data on a map. You can colorize and/or resize the points according to a generic frequency field named "N", or you can use a more typical field, such as altitude, population, or category. If you have track data, or if you don't need to automatically colorize/resize your data points by a particular parameter, you'll probably be better served by the normal Google Maps form , the Google Earth KML form , or the JPEG/PNG/SVG form .
How this page works Google and Yahoo each provide a geocoding "API" -- a way for other programs to quickly and easily access their services. But they only allow a certain number of queries per day, based on your IP address. This form uses JavaScript-On-Demand (JSON) code that causes your Web browser to be the one making the request (rather than gpsvisualizer.com), which means your queries don't count against my server's limit.

FAQ
Good question. It seems that printing maps created using the Google Maps API is unreliable at best. Every browser seems to behave a little bit differently, so any "tricks" I include to make it work in, say, Firefox, might cause everything to blow up in Internet Explorer. The safest bet is to simply take a screen shot and print that.Mapping (USPTO) Patent Data using Overlays of Google Maps Journal of the American Society for Information Science and Technology 63(7) ( 2012) 1442-1458 . available at http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1110/1110.5712.pdf Figure 1 : Map of 2,946 USPTO-patents recalled using the search string “ttl/nano$ and (isd/2008$$ or isd/2009$$ or isd/2010$$)”; with 78 inventors participating in the top-quartile for “Seoul (KR);” above expectation at the level p < 0.05.
