Build interactive, location-based web apps using the Google Maps JavaScript API. Learn by doing — display maps, search places, get directions, use GeoJSON, show real-time weather, and more!

What You’ll Learn:

Whether you're building a location-based product, a business finder, or a data-driven dashboard — this course will guide you step-by-step in integrating the Google Maps JavaScript API into your projects.

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
