Does anyone know where I can find the google maps location marker resource (seen below) from the iphone native API? I'd like to use in my JS API-3 application..
I found this which looks extremely similiar. I suspect the actual blue icon is an Apple thing.

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 am developing a web page which uses the Google Earth plugin. I would like to display the map like in the first image with the "Earth" and "Satellite/Map" view options like you can in Google Maps, or at least be able to just show the map in "Satellite/Map" view:
Currently this is what the view looks like:
Is this possible?
Yes, you can use the Google Maps V3 to switch between Google Maps and the Google Earth Plug-in.
The google-maps-utility-library-v3 can be used to make this easier.
You can see a working example here.
Alternatively you can simulate a reasonable map view buy just turning of the terrain and photo imagery and turning on the borders and roads layers in the Earth Plug-in. If you then lock this view to 'plan' it works well.
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?
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:

Use of Google Maps imagery in printed materials and offline media is
subject to the Permission Guidelines published at:

you can request permission, but I don't think it's easy to obtain, unless you are a paying business customer.
I have a problem loading the google map custom markers in kmlLayer.
The custom markers become very tiny recently.
http://apdrc.soest.hawaii.edu/gg/rainSD2.php
It was working before. Does anyone know the problem on that?
Is that the google map API server problem?
Does google map API change the setting for custom markers size?
Thanks for helping.
Google announced a change to KML rendering that was scheduled to take place in mid-July. It wouldn't surprise me if this included support of the scale tag. Are your icons not standard sized? Should they be scaled?
Looking at your KML, you are scaling your icons:
<scale>0.25</scale>
If you apply that to your icons which are 32x32, they end up being 8x8, and the dot is already a pretty small chunk of the real estate.
If you change the scale to 1.0, I think it will display as you expect (once the cache on google's servers updates).
