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!

Our website is trying to integrate with both Google Maps and What3words. I need to build an UI display a map with.
A marker on the map, and a search box.
When dragging marker, can retrieve the corresponding 3 words based on its geo coordinate.
When typing into the searchbox, can retrieve the three word based on auto complete result from Google.
Actually it should look like below picture.
What I have archived so far is getting the source code from What3words-map-marker that support What3words API v1 already. But now all the API from What3words has migrated to API v2.
May I check If there are any release from What3words that support wrapper it with Google Maps and API v2?
I'm not sure I follow your question exactly but my company also has just recently implemented something might be the same with your requirement.
Please check this Github page for more detail. Image as below.
I'm working on a Wordpress website for a friend and want to put a calendar on a page that when the mouse scrolls over a country for the country to light up and display some information as well as give the user some options to download a pdf about that country.
See http://us.fulbrightonline.org/countries/selectedregion/23 to get an idea of what I mean.
Just need to get a sense of what technologies and tools are needed to make something like this work. I know I will need to utilize an API but the hovering and attaching a pdf to each country is new to me.
You could try to use the Google Geochart API for your problem. It allows to create interactive maps and to capture click events. It also allows to color countries individually and to display tooltips. You can find more information and examples here: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart
I created a plugin for WordPress that uses this API. It integrates all the needed scripts and allows to build a map from the admin panel. You can find more information here:

hi i have polygon Placemarks using fusion tables, when i try to configure styles i am uable to hide shadows, is is possible to do this using google map js api.
see example here
https://www.google.com/fusiontables/embedviz?viz=MAP&q=select+col0+from+13fHuXHIQB55s_C7tpQQFArYMHORjmmThqK9jarQ&h=false&lat=56.168558817410656&lng=2.1851482391250556&z=7&t=1&l=col0
Also do you think such bulky data can be shown in leafletjs using KML. so that i have more control over it.
Are you aware that you can use your fusion table as a layer on the standard Google Maps API rather than using /embedviz ?
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/layers#FusionTables
That should give you more control over how it's rendered. On a separate note, I'm not sure if this is relevant but I came across it:

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.

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

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.
