Description

Learn the Google Maps JavaScript API step-by-step and build interactive, real-world maps for your websites and apps.

In this hands-on developer-focused course, you’ll integrate the Google Maps API into web projects, create location-based apps, and add powerful features like markers, clustering, routing, geocoding, and the Places API.

By the end of this course, you’ll confidently use the Google Maps JavaScript API to bring maps and location data into your web applications.

What You’ll Learn:

In this practical, hands-on course, you'll learn how to:

Embed interactive Google Maps into your website

Add custom markers and overlays

Display real-time weather data on the map using external APIs

Load GeoJSON files to visualize regions, zones, or country borders

Use Marker Clustering for maps with many points

Add search functionality using the Places API

Display detailed information like name, photos, and ratings for places

Perform Nearby Searches (e.g., cafes, ATMs)

Show directions and routes with multiple stops and travel modes

Convert addresses to coordinates and vice versa using the Geocoding API

You’ll work with real-world features used in modern web apps, all with clean, easy-to-follow code.

Why take this course?

Whether you’re a beginner in APIs or a web developer wanting to add maps to dashboards, this course gives you real-world projects you can showcase. You’ll gain the skills to build interactive maps and location-based apps that go beyond basics.

Who This Course Is For

This course is designed for:

Web developers who want to integrate interactive maps into their apps

Frontend developers building dashboards, delivery maps, or store locators

Beginners exploring APIs and map-based features

Anyone who wants to learn location-based development hands-on

What You Should Know Before Taking This Course

You don’t need to be an expert — but you should know:

The basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

How to edit simple web pages using a code editor (like VS Code)

Optional: some familiarity with using APIs or JavaScript libraries

This is not a beginner coding course, but everything related to Google Maps is taught clearly, step-by-step.

What’s Included in This Course

The course includes 6 structured modules that cover Google Maps API essentials and real-world use cases:

Module 1: Core Map Concepts

Set up your API key and initialize maps

Understand map types, zoom, center, and controls

Work with coordinates and map styling

Module 2: Map Events & Overlays

Handle map events like click, drag, and zoom

Add custom markers, icons, and InfoWindows

Use overlays to show additional visual layers

Module 3: Dynamic Maps & External Data

Display real-time weather info from external APIs

Integrate GeoJSON to draw country borders or custom zones

Use Marker Clustering to manage large sets of markers efficiently

Show contextual data using overlays and InfoWindows

Module 4: Places API Integration

Add Autocomplete for place search

Fetch and display place details, ratings, photos

Use Nearby Search and filter by place type (e.g., cafes, hospitals)

Module 5: Directions & Routing

Calculate and show directions between points

Customize routes with travel modes and waypoints

Create interactive, draggable route maps for better UX

Module 6: Geocoding & Reverse Geocoding

Convert an address into latitude/longitude coordinates using the Geocoding API 

Interpret coordinates to get human-readable addresses (reverse geocoding) 

Handle geocoding results and errors gracefully in your app 

Batch geocode multiple locations for scalable data processing

Why Take This Course?

Real-world focus: No fluff — just practical coding with useful features

Project-ready code: Use what you learn directly in your apps

Learn by doing: Build real features step-by-step, not just theory

By the end of this course, you’ll be confident in using the Google Maps JavaScript API to create modern, map-based web applications with features like GeoJSON, weather overlays, place search, clustering, and convert clear addresses into map coordinates and retrieve location names programmatically using the Geocoding API—ideal for address-driven features and bulk geocoding.
