Is there any way to capture the image from a complicated Google Maps with some customize overlays like heat gradient. See figures:
Google static map API can only generate static maps(images) with simple polylines or markers, in my situation this is apparently not enough, I want user to capture this kind of images and share it in there twitter fb of g+
see Google Maps image?, it is a similar question. But not so useful in my situation
It's not allowed. See here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#tos_screenshots
Use of Google Maps imagery in printed materials and offline media is
subject to the Permission Guidelines published at:
http://www.google.com/permissions/geoguidelines.html
you can request permission, but I don't think it's easy to obtain, unless you are a paying business customer.

I know it's possible to use Google API vision to find similar images on the web.
My goal is to find similar images based on my database of images.
I don't want similar images on the web.
Is it possible?
If yes, can you guide me with some links or some advices?
Thanks!
The Google Vision API web detection feature can be used only to return the contents of the image as they relate to the Google Knowledge Graph, as well as the image's relation to other pages and images on the web.
Based on this, it is not currently possible to use it by specifying your own database of images; However, I suggest you to use the Send Feedback button located at the lower left and upper right corners of the Detecting other features public documentation in order to notify to Google about this desired functionality.
You can upload your images to google cloud and do the job.
You have 2 choices: Google product search or AutoML. With product search you can compare an image with a set of images of products. You will find product form image.
You can also use AutoMl, upload some images and train them. You can predict images with AutoMl API in this case.
I understood that, in order to visualize an attraction or a commercial venue in Google Maps you use Maps JavaScript API. However this would be for maps that would be displayed on websites or mobile devices only?
How would it be possible to map and localize a feature in Google Maps, as these are accessed from Google website? I mean, is it possible to map and visualize something that would be accessible and visible to anyone opening Google Maps? A special request should be made to Google?
Thanks a lot
I saw the deprecation message and the blog post by Google and I'm completely stumped on what will continue to work and what not.
I don't upload images to my account. I understand that this service will no longer be available.
What I do use, is this api: http://www.panoramio.com/map/get_panoramas.php, for showing images near locations on my website.
Will I be able to keep using it?
If so, until when? And shouldn't that be clearly stated?
If not, is there a parallel Google Maps api to get such images? I'm aware of Google Locations api, but I'm more interested in nearby outdoors images, and not places of business and named land marks.
Thank you.
UPDATE: as stated in the comment, the service is indeed down. The image urls we already have are still operational for another year, but we can't search for other existing images anymore. So we made the transition to Flickr. It was very easy and it works great.
It is stated in the link that you provide that after November 4, 2016, you’ll continue to have access to your photos in Panoramio for a year, but take note that you will no longer be able to add new photos, likes, or comments.
I suggest you to check this Google Static Maps API, it lets you embed a Google Maps image on your web page without requiring JavaScript or any dynamic page loading. The Google Static Maps API service creates your map based on URL parameters sent through a standard HTTP request and returns the map as an image you can display on your web page.
I am building a web-page using Google maps js api. I need the map type which shows all 3D buildings view provided by Google earth, just like the Google's map application where you can see all 3D buildings in the earth view.
I don't want to use the Google earth API because it's deprecated.
Any way to achieve that?
Google seems to be silent about 3D features in Javascript API. Closest I can get to this are Styled Maps but nowhere does it specifically indicate 3D. Only Android implementations are available as of now.
At this moment, the javascript API generates 3d buildings in map-view, with no option to turn this off.
The google maps website shows 2d buildings, which includes housenumbers. This information seems more accurate than the 3d-buildings map-view. But the options to toggle between various map layers is a long standing omission in the javascript API.
I'm currently creating an interactive web map using Google Maps Javascript API version 3. I'm not sure if this is possible but I would like to create a series of map layers consisting of different kml files that could be toggled from the side bar. I would also like to be able to access the individual points within the kmls so that when the user clicks on a particular point, photos, text etc. can be loaded outside the map window...
Any ideas on how to accomplish this? I've been searching for a while and only found ways of configuring the infowindow which I personally find unattractive...
There is a way to load KML into a google maps application natively, there is actually a pretty good example of how this is done here:
http://gmaps-samples-v3.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/layers/layers.html
One trick I will mention is that since the KML is downloaded to Google's servers in order to be rendered on the map, it must exist on a public facing web server somewhere, Google won't be able to access it from your local machine.
I found this tutorial which seems like it'll do the trick!
