The
vparameter within thehttp://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2URL refers to the version number of the Google Maps API to use. Most users of the API will want to use the stable "Version 2" API by passing thev=2parameter within that URL. You may instead obtain the latest release (including the latest features) by passingv=2.xinstead. However, be aware that the latest release may not be as stable as thev=2release. We update the Google Maps API about every two weeks, at which point features within thev=2.xrelease are migrated into the stablev=2release unless problems are discovered.Each version of the API is labelled as we update it (for example, "Version 2.76"). As we update the API, older code based on previous versions may occasionally not work as advertised. If you absolutely need to peg your application to a particular release of the API, you can do so by explicitly including that version within the
vparameter (e.g.v=2.75). However, this is not recommended. It is always best to base your products on the code as it gets updated. -
Adding a large number of markers to a Google map may both slow down rendering of the map and introduce too much visual clutter, especially at certain zoom levels. The marker manager utility provides a solution to both of these issues, allowing efficient display of hundreds of markers on the same map and the ability to specify at which zoom levels markers should appear.
The marker manager offloads management of markers registered with the utility, keeping track of which markers are visible at certain zoom levels within the current view, and passing only these markers to the map for drawing purposes. The manager monitors the map's current viewport and zoom level, dynamically adding or removing markers from the map as they become active. In addition, by allowing markers to specify the zoom levels at which they display themselves, developers can implement marker clustering. Such management can greatly speed up map rendering and reduce visual clutter

The Google Maps API now adds supports for Mapplets (Maps + Gadgets), which allow you to embed externally hosted applications within Google Maps. These mapplets are run within their own iFrames, allowing you to create "mashups of mashups" and mix code from one site with another for example. This opens up a whole new world of coding within Google Maps! Writing Mapplets is easy, though some things are done differently than in the standard Google Maps API. Check out the Google Maps Mapplets documentation and reference for more information.

The Google Maps API supports the KML and GeoRSS data formats for displaying geographic information. These data formats are added to a map using the
GGeoXmlobject, whose constructor takes the URL of a publically accessible XML file.GGeoXmlplacemarks are rendered as markers, whileGGeoXmlpolylines and polygons are rendered as Google Maps API polylines and polygons.<GroundOverlay%gt;elements within KML files are rendered asGGroundOverlayelements on the map.GGeoXmlobjects are added to a map using theaddOverlay()method. (You can remove them from the map usingremoveOverlay().) Both KML and GeoRSS XML files are supported.

Tony TrioloThis is the documentation for the google maps API. Looks pretty simple. I just wish they could overlay polygons with transparency.

Alan DeanThis documentation refers to Version 2 of the Maps API, launched on April 3, 2006. If your API uses Version 1 of the Maps API (i.e., you developed your site before April 3, 2006), you should attempt to upgrade your web site.

oogle Maps API Version 2 Documentation
The Google Maps JavaScript API lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages. To use the API, you need to sign up for an API key, and then follow the instructions below.
The API is new, so there may be bugs and slightly less than perfect documentation. Bear with us as we fill in the holes, and join the Maps API discussion group to give feedback and discuss the API.
