I need to enter an address and have the street view panorama always facing down the street. I thought I could do this with computeHeading by using my target location and a neighboring location, but if I use that it does not always face the down the street. I noticed when in panorama view the arrows always face the correct direction. Is there a way to cue off of the arrows and point my panorama in the same direction? I did see some sample code in V2 where there are driving apps that drive down the street in the correct direction, but those examples do not apply to V3. If anyone can help, thanks!

Actually have two questions.
1) can I use tiled map for showing the direction? If ans is yes! Then 2nd question is
2) Am on a project where my client is looking for a GPS navigation like facility in his word press website! Where I already archive the tracking facility over tiled map without start and end route direction. Map & its associated code came from leaflet eg. So now I want the route direction on that Same map instead of a separate map!
How do I do or how do I achive that?
I will be glad if some one help in this regards. Thanks in advance!
I have implemented a map using google map api v3, where users can add a marker dynamically and give their feedback through a form in infowindow which pop-up while adding the marker.
I want to prevent users from adding the marker on ocean/river area.
I have searched solution for this requirement and I got this answer, unfortunately the html5 canvas method explained there was for static map but I need this for dynamic one.
Please help!
For oceans and seas
You can use elevation api as in this example:
Example
For ocenas and sees it will return negative number but:
It's not 100% accurate. For some terrains near water it returns negative numbers
It doesn't work for lakes and rivers
I was given a list of links to predefined Google Map polygons like this one:
https://www.google.com/search?es_sm=91&espv=210&q=laarbeek&bav=on.2,or.r_qf.&bvm=pv.xjs.s.en_US.ClVHbHStgs4.O
If you click the image on the right you will be redirected to the full map view with the shape.
Now I need to create my own map with all these shapes. Is there a way where I could get their coordinates? I've been looking for them on the page but had no luck. I'd rather not do it manually because of course, Google is more accurate.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I noticed a specific effect when I search Google for a road without the street number, where the static map thumbnail is centered on the street, and the street is highlighted with a red border. Here is my query; you'll see the map before the search results.
Wilson Rd 08012
Does anyone know if there is a way to achieve this effect via the Google Static Maps API? Ideally where I could just pass in the street and zip to reproduce that search image. I know there are other questions on here asking how to use street data to plot a line over the map, but I'm curious if anyone knows how to get Google to do what it's already doing, but programmatically.
Thank you!
The Static Map API is documented: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps/ and currently road styles don't include this.
However, features are often added to Google Maps first and do find their way from there into their APIs. But they never announce timescales or what's coming up until it's done. Personally I hope this is optional.
I'm looking for some component (preferably freeware) what will provide me the ability to take an image of the USA and have a user click a state. The image of the state will then display, giving the ability to click either a region, or a county, and drill down further. A user would then be able to select one or more counties. I'm also trying to stay away from any google mapping features.
I don't mind having to create this feature from scratch, but I'm having trouble finding tutorials or similar articles on such a technique to get me started on the right path.
Any suggestions would be helpful! :-)
I have see maps on 2 components

And FusionCharts.

Here is a Drill Down demo

I do not know if its what you looking, but its a start.
