I want to show timezones on the map I created using google maps api v3.
I want to show something like this --> http://24timezones.com/
If you don't mind using a deprecated API, you can use API v2 in combination with sample code that is easily found with a Google search.
Otherwise, I think you will need to find a data source that will give you the timezones in some format (perhaps KML?), and draw them on to the map perhaps using Polyline objects.

I want business description using google API or wikidata API.
As shown in above image I want to access description (which is highlighted in red circle.) and store it into application database.
What I tried till now, I used google place API to get the place information, using that I am able to get information like review,rating,opening hours. But I am not able to get that information which I have mention in above image. But I do not know how to get that information using Wikidata api or Google Knowledge Graph api.
Can any one suggest me that how can I use that API to get that information.
Any help would be highly appreciated !
Thanks,
I'd also be keen to know if this is possible. For example, with a bounding box. 4 coordinates, might it be possible for Google Knowledge or another API to give me a summing up of the place.
For example: bbox=4.721375,52.290843,5.070190,52.399905
Might return information and history on the city of Amsterdam. Like when you type into Google Search "Amsterdam".
Just a thought. I have previously accomplished this with a very manual combination of Overpass API (related to OSM) and Freebase.
I just found this: Find a place description in Freebase using latitude and longitude?
So, it can be done. And it is already documented.
I have the longitude and latitude of vehicles and other things that are going to be constantly updating and would like to use Google Maps API v3 to keep track of them.
I don't believe my current method of importing these locations (importing into a Fusion Table which then geocodes it) is efficient or allow for Google Maps to grab data.
I have basic experience in php and Javascript, so my idea is to use phpMyAdmin to keep the database and have Google Maps pull data from there, but I have no idea where to start or how to have phpMyAdmin with a consistent dataflow. Could someone give me a starting point or perhaps offer a better solution?
This example shows a end result which is a still image. I'm not sure if this will get the results I want.

I'm using the ThoroughfareName property of google maps api v2 which is very handy to get only the address part.
I didn't see any equivalent to this in api v3. Is there some best practices / recognized algorithm to build it back using address_components ?
So far what I have done is use the route type of address_components + the street_number. This is probably not the correct algorithm but it suits my needs.
I have an account for Nokia Maps API but am wondering what URL I should use to request tiles through the API correctly? I am using the Leaflet maps API and my URL string looks like this:
http://3.maptile.lbs.ovi.com/maptiler/v2/maptile/newest/normal.day/{z}/{x}/{y}/256/png8?app_id=XXX&token=XXX
It works, but I don't believe I am using the API correctly - I just stole the first part of the URL (http://3.maptile.lbs.ovi.com/maptiler/v2/maptile/newest/normal.day) from the Network tab of dev tools when I checked out Nokia maps in my browser.
In the documentation it tells me I can request based on lat, long and zoom, but not based on X and Y.
Is anybody familiar with Nokia Maps API?
Regarding the original question I'm guessing you have acquired credentials for the Map Image API: http://developer.here.net/docs/map_image/index.html There are a series of interactive examples available, which explain how to get back a static map image using latitude and longitude such as this one here: http://developer.here.net/apiexplorer/examples/api-for-rest/getting-started/basic-map-wh.html All the urls for the Map image API start with http://m.nok.it
Using URLs for the map tiles from the http://here.com website isn't the same service, it isn't an official API (hence the reason it is undocumented) and the URLs could be changed without notice.
Updated
HERE now offers three web-based Maps APIs, and since last year a TMS (Tile Map Service) a.k.a. Map Tile API, which is what I think you are after is now publicly available.
As noted by Luciano Issoe, the correct URLs for the Map Tile API are now publically documented see: https://developer.here.com/rest-apis/documentation/enterprise-map-tile
Alternatively, if you want to use an interactive map service with Nokia's mapping data, your best bet would be to use the Maps API for Javascript described here:
http://developer.here.net/docs/maps_js/index.html
It seems that it´s a documented service now: https://developer.here.com/rest-apis/documentation/enterprise-map-tile
To retrieve a map covering a specific area using the Map Image API, add two points of interest to the map for the top right and bottom left corner and then use the nomrk to make the POIs invisible:
http://m.nok.it/?w=512&poi=52.6764,13.7636,52.351,13.0185&nomrk
Below link is very helpful. I want to do extra but I can't. I want to draw route between 2 or more places like google does, in that source code it has only 2 places (Under 'Direction' Section).
Please help me and thanks in advance

Google Maps JavaScript API V3 allow map objects to store state and update their presentation automatically by implementing MVC objects.
Two of these may interest you in your project.
DirectionsService and DirectionsWaypoint.
Specifically you can use Waypoints to provide locations on the route. These waypoints can be made movable.
