I was wondering if you could put a custom StreetView with a marker. I am making a map that has city parks. I want it so if someone clicks on a specific marker, the custom StreetView pops up and shows the panorama. For the custom StreetViews I used Google Views. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, this is possible. Something close to it can be done in two ways.
The easiest option is to load Google maps from the main URL and wait. It will let you build a map or view your custom maps just below the search bar. Google Maps itself lets you create a custom map with markers. This doesn't sound like your desired option, but it is quick to implement. You can even add your own style.
The second is to create your own custom Street View tour, this sounds like your focus. You want the actual panographs to use your markers. This is fairly easy to do, but requires some programming. It is possible on both Google Earth and Google Maps. Check out the Google APIs such as https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#StreetViewPanoramaOptions. Options include changing out panographs for your own images, defining arrows including labels, overlays, pop-up boxes, action boxes, and more.

I'm looking for a way to add images to the Google Map interface itself, not fixed on a point on the geographical map but on the Google Maps "window". Something to display Map Legends on the map itself.
I've been looking through the net but can't seem to find a way to do this. As you can tell I don't really know what this is called also, so that may be the reason why I ca
You have to open infowindow on map and put image in it.
Try with this answer : google maps api v3 - how to display image thumbnails inside bubble?
I have built a custom Google Map and When the page loads I would like a 'splash screen' to appear over the map inside the map container (this would be an image with some instructions), which could then either be toggled off or would disappear after a set time.
I know that I can do this using CSS/JQuery to create a layer over the map container, but is it possible to do this using the map API?
You could use overlays or a custom infowindow (infobox).
I would suggest overlays. Their existence is for displaying components
over the map. Infowindow would suffice too, but their role is for displaying something
in relation to a specific spot on the map.

I have a fully functioning map using the API v3 with markers placed as a result of database searches, and info windows that pop up correctly. So far, so good.
What I would like to do is to allow the user to place a marker on the map manually, i.e by dragging and dropping a placemark in exactly the same way as google "My Maps" uses to build a map or by clicking on the map.
There are several reasons for doing this, but one is that I would like the user to easily identify a centre point of interest so that I can filter searches within a radius of this point.
I would have thought that this option would be useful to others.
Maybe I am using the wrong search terms for this, and the terms "marker" and "placemark" seem to be interchangeable, which doesnt help, but I cannot formulate a search which has even shown that anyone else is trying to do this.
Have you seen this example of the drawing tools, it allows you to add Markers, Polylines and Polygons, you can customize it to just do Markers.
Here is the documentation for the Drawing Manager
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.

Using the Google Maps API v3, is it possible to customize the layout and content of the infoWindows that are attached to each route marker that's plotted through the DirectionService?
Thanks to geocodezip at the Google Maps API Groups for this example on how to achieve this:

There is no out of the box way to do it, you have to essentially place custom markers/infoWindows yourself, and attach dragging listeners to each one of them.
