I'm using the jQuery Plugin GMAP3 to display a map with a number of markers on my website.
I know that the Google Maps API V3 allows custom styling of Maps, I just can't figure out how to use this feature with GMAP3. Can anyone help?
In gmap3 api docs, there is an example about how to use styled map, you can check it out
here.
Check out the setOptions function for the map object.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#
If this still wont work you may try making the styled map outside of gmap3 first.

I'm using Here Maps to create interactive maps.
using the JS api, is there a demo out there to create a way point between two other existing waypoints in a similar fashion as Here WeGo does?
add waypoint:
https://github.com/heremaps/maps-api-for-javascript-examples <-------- Refer this! it got waypoint's marking from point to point and other examples needed! hope this helps
No, there is no demo like this. You could achieve this by combining these examples:
Simple routing
Reverse Geocoding
Context menu
Draggable Marker
Custom Marker Icon
Recently I created simple routing example which adds/removes waypoints on contextmenu (right click) event callback. No draggable markers, unfortunately, but maybe it helps.
Here is the jsfiddle link.
I was wondering if you could put a custom StreetView with a marker. I am making a map that has city parks. I want it so if someone clicks on a specific marker, the custom StreetView pops up and shows the panorama. For the custom StreetViews I used Google Views. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, this is possible. Something close to it can be done in two ways.
The easiest option is to load Google maps from the main URL and wait. It will let you build a map or view your custom maps just below the search bar. Google Maps itself lets you create a custom map with markers. This doesn't sound like your desired option, but it is quick to implement. You can even add your own style.
The second is to create your own custom Street View tour, this sounds like your focus. You want the actual panographs to use your markers. This is fairly easy to do, but requires some programming. It is possible on both Google Earth and Google Maps. Check out the Google APIs such as https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#StreetViewPanoramaOptions. Options include changing out panographs for your own images, defining arrows including labels, overlays, pop-up boxes, action boxes, and more. Check out some options here: http://hpneo.github.io/gmaps/examples.html
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:

I am wondering if it is possible to customize the default InfoWindow that pops up when the user clicks on various businesses that Google displays on its default map (see screenie). I would like to add functionality to let people "pin" these locations if they have stumbled on them while just browsing the map.
It is not currently possible to listen to any click event on the POI icons so overriding/modifying the info window is not possible.
File a feature request asking for it.
i don't know customizing the functionality of infowindow, but by using google infobox we can customize the look, from that you can try the functionality. because infobox uses pure html code.

google map api v3: can I use a div instead of an image to create the custom icon?
i want to be able to hover the marker and change the icon, ven betetr if i could use a fade fx...so how can i set a div instead of an image like it is by default?
Yes, You can use Custom Overlays in place of markers:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#CustomOverlays
First, I give the demo-purpose website.
For this question, I have found there are several similar questions which I have already answered such as:
(following one is about theory)
HTML/CSS Markers using Google Maps Javascript API v3
(following one is about implementations)
How to create custom marker for google map
At first answer, I have given my detailed understanding why customized icons and markers should be implemented by extending overlayView class.
At second answer, I have posted out how to write HTML/CSS to specify how one customized icon/marker looks. Of course you can also write event handlers to add JS logic to your icon/marker.
At stack overflow, I found several interesting points. When I found similar questions, I cannot answer the question using my previous answer.
One content manager even deletes my answer although what I am answering here is exactly the question is asking.
At last, if you need to see how to extend overlayView class to realize one marker, please see this source code (starting below comment //====custom-marker management starts)
Thank you.
