in Google Documents on some spreadsheets you have that world map widget/plugin that you can give country codes and frequencies and it'll generate a heatmap of the world with that data?
Can anyone suggest something similar to use in Grails? Obviously googling "Google Map" gives a million and one things about the actual Google Maps API, etc.
Thanks!
Found it from a friend- it's referred to as a 'Geochart',

I am no longer trying "to embed Google Maps so when I click on it opens Google Maps with 100 meters radius." I understand "Google Maps is not a part of the core services.
I am now trying to use a Work Around without Google Maps and am now asking for help with the "Work Around"....
I want to be able to use the method from this YouTube video to create the Search option another Google support team rep(Vienna) referred me to. In the video he did a search for shoes, shirts and dresses to find his customers. I want to do a search by zip and/or city and state to find mine...."Google Sheets - Search, QUERY function"===https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSGKO5gx974
I need help with this part as well with the Google Sheets function list. Which Google Sheet function or a combination of functions will allow me to do the 150-200 meters radius search within the "Google Sheets"? I am not tech savvy and need help to determine which ones can be used. Here are some of the functions that appear to be able to be used from what I think FLATTEN, FREQUENCY, LINEST, MAP, MMULT MDETERM , SUMX2PY2, DAVERAGE, DCOUNTA, DSTDEV, DVAR, DELTA, FILTER, SORT, SORTN, UNIQUE, QUERY, ISFORMULA, CELL, ect.... ===https://support.google.com/docs/table/25273?hl=en#query=
The Viennes also sent a link. https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/routes_preferred/support#:~:text=Before%20you%20call%2C%20make%20sure,1%2D877%2D355%2D5787
As I was looking over the page, I came across the link to theMarketplace.
I was wondering which one of those databases could be used in the function to accomadate what I am trying to accomplish. Is it the Zip Code Tabulation Area, Geolocation API, CARTO, Roads, API, Routes API. Maps JavaScriprt API, ect....
With those three things listed above, I am sure something can come close to doing a radius/range search in Google Sheets.
If any, at least by the City and/or State search.
I am in need of a Developer, can you suggest one?
This might not looks like a real question, but I have a use-case for which I am not able to find the solutions. I have to show few point of interests like 'walmart','truck wash', 'rest-area' etc. My problem is Google Places map API doesn't give the filter option on the nearby searches and mapkit MKLocalSearch returns data beyound the bound region. My requirement is same like the Dat-trucker app. I am wondering, how they are showing "POI" on their maps. Seems like they are using MapKit, cause there is no attribution for google.Is there any alternative for Google Places API which can return the nearby places with filter functionality. I am attaching screenshot of the reference app.
You can give the Yep Fusion API a try. They provide nearby businesses which is what the Google Places API does.
Is it possible to have specific markers based on a user's search with Google Maps API? For example, I'd like to be able to create unique markers for different food cuisine types: american, asian, european, and indian. If the user types in american for example, can I add a special marker for this and if so, how can I achieve this?
Google has a great API that details how to do what you need pretty well. The Google Places API has some examples of how to search for places. The Maps API has an example on how to add custom marker symbols. Once you get the data back from the query posted, you can parse it to get details on the restaurant and associate an icon with that restaurants position
I think you are looking for the iOS SDK (I just looked at your tags):

I'm looking for a way to merge Google Fusion Table Data with Google Places. In essence, if I want to find out points of interest around a particular location (which comes from a Google Fusion Table), is there a way of doing it?
I think it has something to do with the Radius of the two API's (Google Fusion API and Google Places API), but I am not sure if this is possible.
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks a ton in advance!
When a user clicks on one of the Fusion Tables markers, you can capture the lat/lon coordinate of the marker by adding a click listener to the layer:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#FusionTablesMouseEvent
You can then use the lat/lon object to issue a Places API search:

Has anyone got any suggestions on where to start with building a google map into a rails app? I would like users to be able to add a marker by clicking the map, and have spent a few days looking for a suitable tutorial or plugin (beyond ym4r), to little avail...any help would be much appreciated as I am finding the Google Maps API rather difficult to get into! I've also come across the railskit for google maps - does anyone have any experience in using it?
Just fyi, I made https://rubygems.org/gems/gmaps4rails which is a useful wrapper with several options.
I probably wouldn't use YM4R. We tried it and found that it doesn't add much value because it just wraps the API. I would recommend working with Google Maps directly from JavaScript. Google Maps API documentation is pretty good, and there are quite a few examples on the web.
There is an example of a click handler on the map here, and adding a marker is just a matter of doing
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(latlng));
