I'm using osm maps with css files in my app (in iOS, but it does not matter) for customizing their appearance. I'd like to make them looks like google maps. Where I can find css or something like that for google maps? I need to know only colors of main highways and zones, so if you know them tell me)) thanks in advance!
Pretty sure you would have to dive into the Google Maps API to extract the kind of information you are looking for, I could be mistaken but Google does not offer a CSS way to manipulate its maps look and feel.
OR
Bring up a Google Map, take a screen shot and then use the eye dropper in your favourite graphics program to extract the HEX values.

I want to use http://{s}.google.com/vt?lyrs=m&x={x}&y={y}&z={z}', {subdomains:['mt0','mt1','mt2','mt3']} - google maps tile template. This is possible? I can't find how to do it in here maps, but I know that it is possible in different map libraries. And, if it is possible, I can use this with vector.normal.truck layers, to see what route is allowed for some trucks?
Is there any way to use popup like google uses for Map Data?
Did they provided any api for that?
I can't find anything about that...
Have you take a look to InfoBubble ? It is probably what you're seeking for.
For information, you can go to google-maps-utility-library-v3 and look if a library fits your needs.
We are creating a website for motorbike tours and would like our visitors to be able to enter a start and end location and have this update an embedded Google map on our own website, basically highlighting the best route. We'd like it to work exactly as the "Directions" feature on Google Maps works.
Is this possible? If so, how best to acheive this?
Also, we'd like to restrict the businesses and places of interest that appear on the map as some of them simply won't be relevant to our motorcycle audience. Is it possible to filter out businesses and places of interest and only display what we would like to display?
Really appreciate any advice that could be offered. Thank you.

Nath.
Yes you can there is already a post with a HTML example. There are limitations on how many requests can be performed in 1 day for free usage. Check the licensing information on the google site.
google maps plot route between two points
Surely you can.
Take a look here and here (the first is for javascript functionality, the second for server-side functionality through web services).
With these API you can show map, show pinned point on that and, using the direction API, you can also calculate the best route among other things.
About the businesses and places you want to show, you can use the places API. though I never used this one, so I can only suggest to have a look at the documetation.
I've imported a city feed for construction on a Google Map API v3. Unfortunately, the default color is a blue that doesn't convey the "caution" needed for construction. Is there an easy way to change the colour of the GeoRSS overlay? Thanks!
No, there isn't an easy way to change the color/styling of a GeoRSS overlay you are pulling in from another service. KML/GeoRSS features are rendered on the map to look like Polylines, Polgyons, and Markers, but they're not full-fledged objects in that sense. If you look at the KmlLayer documentation you'll see that your options are really limited to showing it on a map and making it clickable.
What you need to do is process the GeoRSS / KML somewhere else and add styling information to it that colors the line appropriately. I would probably implement this in a server-side language of your choice, but you could also try to use JavaScript to parse the GeoRSS and create first-class Polyline objects yourself which you'd have full control over.
I've stumbled upon this flash map
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/nation/unemployment-by-county/
it looks like they used this map to construct the website.

I am curious as to what people have done or any blogs that describe what can be done with flex and simple maps like this (not google maps style maps) but simple all-in-memory maps like this one. It would be cool to see what/ and how flex can do in terms of maps.
thanks!
You would need to draw the entire map. Its more of like a custom component. The below class would is how to start with.
