Started to work with Google Maps JavaScript API v3, but in all my maps this info window is missing. Researching "Infowindow" just offers information about tag windows that open if you click on the map badge I can set.
Anybody knows how to activate this "context window" which is activated in the Google Maps iframe example? See the picture below…
The Answer to your questions is NO, there is no way to activate a context window in the API other than the info windows.
May I suggest to use a div element and with simple CSS you can position your div in front of your map or anywhere you want, and with the Google Maps API you fill this div with any info you want.
I did not find any info about that context window in the docs neither, but inspecting Google Maps I see that all of that is pure HTML.
Happy coding :)

Can anybody help me to find a solution how to make this code work on my Wix-Site:
Click here to opt-out of Google Analytics
I have this code from Google itself (At the bottom of the page see "example"):
https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/
Here is a Screenshot of this code from the google website:
Google Analytics Opt Out Code
I tried this:
$w("#text1").html = "<a href='javascript:gaOptout()'>Click here to opt-out of Google Analytics</a>";
But I was told that in Wix it is not possible to add events to a-tag elements in text element. Here you will find the little discussion that I had on Wix Forum:
https://www.wix.com/code/home/forum/questions-answers/how-to-link-text-to-a-url-using-w-link
I also asked on Reddit, Facebook and WixSupport. But nobody could help me with that issue.
You might want to take a look at the new wix feature called "tracking and analytics". It lets you embed custom scripts in your html's body, header, or footer.
https://support.wix.com/en/article/about-tracking-tools-analytics
You cannot access the HTML directly via Wix Code. Wix Code exposes a dedicated API for you to manipulate their controllers and elements on screen but not further under the hood.
You can use wix-fetch to call external API calls to google analytics (if they have an API to opt-out, not familiar enough to say here is the post)
anyway, your code in Wix should be something like this:
(as example API taken from their docs)
import {fetch} from 'wix-data'
fetch('https://analyticsreporting.googleapis.com/v4/...', options) // returns a Promise
I'm using Google Earth API for Google Maps v3 to display kml files in a window which can then be switched between Maps and Earth browsers. This is a different plugin to that officially provided by Google, and I've run into a problem dynamically switching kml in the Earth window. I use checkboxes to switch them in the Maps API V3, window, but when the browser is switched to Earth it no longer listens to the checkbox actions. Essentially what I'm trying to do is a replication of the interactive checkbox example on the google code playground, but I think I should be using the Maps V3 scripts?
I've included a link to the example script here:

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You have errors in your code. For example, the line
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'tilesloaded', addOverlays);
references the non-existent function addOverlays
Also, I'm not sure what you mean...
"This is a different plugin to that officially provided by Google"
...as it is the exact same plugin.
You also state that...
"...it no longer listens to the checkbox actions."
It is the browser listens for the actions, not the Earth plug-in. The checkboxs event are still firing, the reason the code doesn't work is that the "Google Earth Api" (the api for controlling the plugin) uses totally different objects and methods to the Google Maps Api (the api for controlling the map). Things like google.maps.KmlLayer just don't exist in the Earth Api at all. So when the checkbox event fires it causes and error because you are calling methods on objects that don't exist.
From looking at your code, after initialising the Earth plugin via
googleEarth = new GoogleEarth(map);
You don't do anything else with it...You mention in your question the interactive checkbox example on the Google code playground, but as far as I can see you haven't actually implemented any of the code from that example.
Take another look at the function loadKml method in that example - it clearly shows how to load and display data in the Earth plugin.
I am wondering if it is possible to customize the default InfoWindow that pops up when the user clicks on various businesses that Google displays on its default map (see screenie). I would like to add functionality to let people "pin" these locations if they have stumbled on them while just browsing the map.
It is not currently possible to listen to any click event on the POI icons so overriding/modifying the info window is not possible.
File a feature request asking for it.
i don't know customizing the functionality of infowindow, but by using google infobox we can customize the look, from that you can try the functionality. because infobox uses pure html code.

How to make standart balloons like new restiled google maps ballons?
See pictures:
New styled balloons:
old styled balloons (i have):
Where i can get css?
Google Maps often put new functionality in their own maps before making them public in their API.
I believe this is a custom info window and there are images involved.
So you can't just put some CSS to style the old balloon into the one you're seeing on Google Maps.
What you have to do is if you want the new styled balloon, you have to create one yourself with the Maps API.
This is called a Custom Info Window
This is pretty intensive if you never did some Maps API development.
If the "new style" balloon becomes popular, they will push the update through a new version of the API so it can be available to everyone. They did this with the zoom control, etc.
I'm a certified Maps API developer so I'm pretty sure of my answer!
Thank you

Easy way here does all the work for you.
Embedding a map into a website or blog
You can embed a simple map, a set of
driving directions, a local search, or
maps created by other users. Here's
how:
Ensure that the map you'd like to embed appears in the current map
display.
Click Link to this page in the top-right corner of the map.
In the box that pops up, copy the HTML under 'Paste HTML to embed in
website,' and paste it into the source
code of your website or blog.
If you'd like to adjust the size of the map before you embed it, just click
Customize and preview embedded map, select your preferred size, and take a
look at the preview map. Once you're happy with what you see, copy the HTML
that appears in the box at the bottom of the window.
Keep in mind that you won't be able to embed Traffic maps, Mapplets, and some
other Maps features.
Google Map API is just javascript. Which can be used in any web technology
follow this link you will get what you are looking for
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/
If your beginning, maybe you should try to learn web development first. Javascript, post/get mechanics, HTML/CSS validation. Tackling Google Maps integration right at the beginning of your learning process might slow down your project evolution. It's my opinion.
