Download Free Guide on Google Maps API

Google Maps provides a highly responsive, intuitive mapping interface with detailed street and aerial imagery data embedded. In addition, map controls can be embedded in the product to give users full control over map navigation and the display of street and imagery data. Additionally, users can also perform map panning through the user of the “arrow” keys on a keyboard as well as dragging the map via the mouse.

These capabilities combine to provide a compelling product, but the primary driver behind its rapid acceptance as a Internet mapping viewer is the ability to customize the map to fit application specific needs. For instance, a real estate agency might develop a web based application that allows end user searching for residential properties the results of which could be displayed on a Google Maps application. This ability to customize the map display through the addition of application specific data is the true driver of it‘s acceptance as a geospatial viewing tool.
