In your MapOptions object that you use to create the map, use `MapTypeId.HYBRID`, like this:

    var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
    var myOptions = {
      zoom: 8,
      center: myLatlng,
      mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID
    };
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(&quot;map_canvas&quot;),
        myOptions);

I don&#39;t know about an option to explicitly show the labels in the SATELLITE view.
The &quot;styles&quot; property was supposed to do this, but I had no lucky when tried this with the code below:

	styles:[
		{
			featureType: &quot;all&quot;,
			elementType: &quot;labels&quot;,
			stylers: [
				{ visibility: &quot;on&quot; }
			]
		}
	]

I ended up using the HYBRID map type, instead of using the SATELLITE one, and hiding the default user interface to turn off the visibility of the change map type menu, and hided the &quot;road&quot; element:

    mapOptions: {
        disableDefaultUI: true,
        mapTypeId: &#39;hybrid&#39;,
	styles: [
		    {
			featureType: &quot;road&quot;,
			stylers: [
				     {visibility: &quot;off&quot;}
				 ]
		    }
		]

To create an empty sequence one uses the following

    var empty = Enumerable.Empty&lt;string&gt; ();

Is there an equivalent for creating an empty dictionary as easily as this?

I&#39;m writing a simple Chrome extension that displays a JavaScript alert saying &quot;Hello World&quot;. In this example I have specified that the extension will only run for google.com (by putting this in the permissions property within manifest.json). 

Even after everything in the target page has loaded, the alert doesn&#39;t appear. Here is my script so far:

**File: manifest.json**

    {
      &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Hello&quot;,
      &quot;version&quot;: &quot;1.0&quot;,
      &quot;description&quot;: &quot;Says hello to Google&quot;,
      &quot;permissions&quot;: [&quot;http://*.google.com/&quot;]
      &quot;browser_action&quot;: {
        &quot;popup&quot;: &quot;Hello.html&quot;
      }
    }


**File: Hello.html**

    &lt;script language=&quot;Javascript&quot;&gt;
       alert(&quot;Hello World&quot;);
    &lt;/script&gt;

I&#39;m using Google Maps API. And I&#39;m using the code below to get the coordinates of the marker.

	

    var lat = homeMarker.getPosition().$a;
    var lng = homeMarker.getPosition().ab;

Everything is working fine with the app that I built using Google Maps.
But I tested it today and I got problems getting the correct coordinates. Only to discover that the code above is getting undefined. After I console.log(homeMarker.getPosition()) I discovered that this is now the variables that they used for the coordinates.

    var lat = homeMarker.getPosition().ab;
    var lng = homeMarker.getPosition().cb;

I won&#39;t ask why Google Maps acts this way but you can also include it in your answer. My question is that how do I properly get the coordinates without changing my code everytime google maps changes the variables that they&#39;re using.

Google Maps API Multiple Markers with Infowindows

Is there a way I can add some custom information to my markers for later use. There are ways to have an info-window and a title, but what If I want to associate the marker with other information.

I have other stuff being displayed on the page that depends on the markers so when a marker is click the content on the page has to change depending upon which marker was clicked.I would like store and retrieve the custom data  once a marker is lets say clicked etc.

Thanks

Google Map API V3: How to add Custom data to markers

Here is the code I have written to add a marker to the google map by providing latitude and longitude. The problem is that I get a very highly zoomed google map. I have tried setting the zoom level to 1 but this has no effect to the very highly zoomed map.

How to set zoom level in google map

I recently developed an html5 mobile application. The application was a single page where navigation hash change events replaced the entire DOM. One section of the application was a Google Map using API v3. Before the map div is removed from the DOM, I want to remove any event handlers/listeners and free up as much memory as possible as the user may not return to that section again.

What is the best way to destroy a map instance?

What is the Proper Way to Destroy a Map Instance?

I have a Google map with a semi transparent panel covering a portion of the area. I would like to adjust the center point of the map to take into account the portion of the map that is partially obscured. See the image below. Ideally, where the crosshairs and pin are placed would be the center point of the map.

I hope that makes sense.

The reason is simple: When you zoom it needs to center the map over the crosshair rather than at 50% 50%. Also, I will be plotting markers on the map and moving through them in sequence. When the map centers on them, they also need to be at the offset position.

Thanks in advance!

How to offset the center point in Google maps api V3

I have a Google Maps Autocomplete input field inside a Twitter Bootstrap modal dialog and the autocomplete result is not displayed. However, if I press the down arrow key, it selects the next autocomplete result, so it seems that the autocomplete code works correctly, only that the result is not displayed correctly. Maybe it&#39;s hidden behind the modal dialog?

Here&#39;s the screenshots :

![Typing something in the autocomplete field gives nothing][1]
Typing something in the autocomplete field gives nothing

![Pressing the arrow down key gives the first result][2]
Pressing the arrow down key gives the first result

And the code :

    &lt;div class=&quot;modal hide fade&quot; id=&quot;map_modal&quot;&gt;
	&lt;div class=&quot;modal-body&quot;&gt;
		&lt;button type=&quot;button&quot; class=&quot;close&quot; data-dismiss=&quot;modal&quot;&gt;&#215;&lt;/button&gt;
		&lt;div class=&quot;control-group&quot;&gt;
			&lt;label class=&quot;control-label&quot; for=&quot;keyword&quot;&gt;Cari alamat :&lt;/label&gt;
			&lt;div class=&quot;controls&quot;&gt;
				&lt;input type=&quot;text&quot; class=&quot;span6&quot; name=&quot;keyword&quot; id=&quot;keyword&quot;&gt;
			&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;/div&gt;
		&lt;div id=&quot;map_canvas&quot; style=&quot;width:530px; height:300px&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;
	&lt;div class=&quot;modal-footer&quot;&gt;
		&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;btn&quot; data-dismiss=&quot;modal&quot;&gt;Close&lt;/a&gt;
		&lt;a href=&quot;#&quot; class=&quot;btn btn-primary&quot;&gt;Save changes&lt;/a&gt;
	&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

    &lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;
	$(&quot;#map_modal&quot;).modal({
		show: false
	}).on(&quot;shown&quot;, function()
	{
		var map_options = {
			center: new google.maps.LatLng(-6.21, 106.84),
			zoom: 11,
			mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
		};

		var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(&quot;map_canvas&quot;), map_options);

		var defaultBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(
			new google.maps.LatLng(-6, 106.6),
			new google.maps.LatLng(-6.3, 107)
		);

		var input = document.getElementById(&quot;keyword&quot;);
		var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
		autocomplete.bindTo(&quot;bounds&quot;, map);

		var marker = new google.maps.Marker({map: map});

		google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, &quot;place_changed&quot;, function()
		{
			var place = autocomplete.getPlace();

			if (place.geometry.viewport) {
				map.fitBounds(place.geometry.viewport);
			} else {
				map.setCenter(place.geometry.location);
				map.setZoom(15);
			}

			marker.setPosition(place.geometry.location);
		});

		google.maps.event.addListener(map, &quot;click&quot;, function(event)
		{
			marker.setPosition(event.latLng);
		});
	});
    &lt;/script&gt;

I&#39;ve tried my best to solve this on my own, but since I don&#39;t know the html&amp;css for the autocomplete result (inspect element gives nothing), I&#39;m in a lost now. Any helps?

Thanks before!
