  1. Google Maps Tutorials Android Studio

  2. About Google map Google Maps is a web mapping service developed by Google. Google Maps began as a C++ desktop program designed by Lars and Jens Eilstrup Rasmussen at Where 2 Technologies. In October 2004, the company was acquired by Google, which converted it into a web application. Google Maps' satellite view is a "top-down" or "birds eye" view; most of the high-resolution imagery of cities is aerial photography taken from aircraft flying at 800 to 1,500 feet (240 to 460 m), while most other imagery is from satellites.

  3. Directions • Google Maps provides a route planner, allowing users to find available directions through driving, public transportation, walking, or biking. • A journey planner, trip planner, or route planner is a specialised search engine used to find an optimal means of travelling between two or more given locations, sometimes using more than one transport mode. • Searches may be optimised on different criteria, for example fastest, shortest, least changes, cheapest.

  4. Implementation • Like many other Google web applications, Google Maps uses JavaScript extensively. • Locations are drawn dynamically by positioning a red pin on top of the map images. • A hidden IFrame with form submission is used because it preserves browser history. • The site also uses JSON for data transfer rather than XML, for performance reasons.

  5. Google Maps API After the success of reverse-engineered mashups such as chicagocrime.org and housingmaps.com, Google launched the Google Maps API in June 2005 to allow developers to integrate Google Maps into their websites. By using the Google Maps API, it is possible to embed Google Maps site into an external website, on to which site specific data can be overlaid. The Google Maps API is free for commercial use, provided that the site on which it is being used is publicly accessible and does not charge for access, and is not generating more than 25,000 map accesses a day.

  6. Google maps for Android and iOS devices Google Maps is available as a mobile app for the Android and iOS mobile operating systems. The Android app was first released in September 2008, though the GPS-localization feature had been in testing on cell phones since 2007. Google Maps was Apple's solution for its mapping service on iOS until the release of iOS 6 in September 2012, at which point it was replaced by Apple Maps, with Google releasing its own Google Maps standalone app on the iOS platform the following December.

  7. Google Maps and Street View parameters In Google Maps, URL parameters are sometimes data-driven in their limits and the user interface presented by the web may or may not reflect those limits. As of October 2010, the Google map viewer updates its zoom bar to allow the user to zoom all the way when centered over areas that support higher zoom levels. In the 2013 redesigned version, a much smaller overview window becomes interactive upon hovering it and enables a user to change the location and rotate the Street View and save a parameterized view, as well.

  8. History • The application was first announced on the Google Blog on February 8, 2005, and was located at Google. It originally only supported users of Internet Explorer and Mozilla web browsers. • Coverage of the area around Turin was added in time for the 2006 Winter Olympics. • On January 29, 2007, Local Universal results were upgraded and more data included in the main Google results page. • On November 15, 2017, Google announced a significant update to the Google Maps formatting.
