COLOURcode

Google Maps - GMaps.js Google Maps library

Summary of features

Google introduced the Google Maps API in 2005. This allowed developers to create custom applications with maps. Google subsequently launched APIs for Android and iOS application development. GMaps.js simplifies the original Google Maps JavaScript API and takes care of the extensive API code. It's cleaner, more concise and hence easier to use. See this excelent sitepoint tutorial.
