Introduction
This tutorial shows you how to add a simple Google map with a marker to a web page. It suits people with beginner or intermediate knowledge of HTML and CSS, and a little knowledge of JavaScript. For an advanced guide to creating maps, read the developer's guide.Below is the map you'll create using this tutorial.
The section below displays the entire code you need to create the map in this tutorial.
function initMap() { var uluru = {lat: -25.363, lng: 131.044}; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { zoom: 4, center: uluru }); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: uluru, map: map }); }
<h3>My Google Maps Demo</h3> <div id="map"></div>
#map { height: 400px; width: 100%; }
<!-- Replace the value of the key parameter with your own API key. --> <script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCkUOdZ5y7hMm0yrcCQoCvLwzdM6M8s5qk&callback=initMap"> </script>

Getting started
There are three steps to creating a Google map with a marker on your web page:You need a web browser. Choose a well-known one like Google Chrome (recommended), Firefox, Safari or Internet Explorer, based on your platform.
Step 1: Create an HTML page
Here's the code for a basic HTML web page:<h3>My Google Maps Demo</h3> <div id="map"></div>
#map { width: 100%; height: 400px; background-color: grey; }
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> #map { width: 100%; height: 400px; background-color: grey; } </style> </head> <body> <h3>My Google Maps Demo</h3> <div id="map"></div> </body> </html>Note that this is a very basic page with a heading level three (
h3
), a
single div
element, and a style
element which are all explained in the table
below. You can add any content you like to the web page.Try it yourself

|
Creates an HTML page consisting of a head and a body. |
|
Adds a heading level three above the map. |
|
Defines an area of the page for your Google map. At this stage of the tutorial, the div appears as just a grey
block, because you have not yet added a map. It's grey because of the CSS you've
applied. See below. |
|
The style element in the head sets the
div size for your map.
Set the div width and height to greater than 0px for the map to be
visible.
In this case, the div is set to a height of 500 pixels, and width
of 100% to display the across the width of your web page.
Apply background-color: grey to the div to view the
area for your map on the web page. |
Step 2: Add a map with a marker
This section shows you how to load the Google Maps JavaScript API into your web page, and how to write your own JavaScript that uses the API to add a map with a marker on it.function initMap() { var uluru = {lat: -25.363, lng: 131.044}; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { zoom: 4, center: uluru }); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: uluru, map: map }); }
<h3>My Google Maps Demo</h3> <div id="map"></div>
#map { height: 400px; width: 100%; }
<!-- Replace the value of the key parameter with your own API key. --> <script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCkUOdZ5y7hMm0yrcCQoCvLwzdM6M8s5qk&callback=initMap"> </script>
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> #map { height: 400px; width: 100%; } </style> </head> <body> <h3>My Google Maps Demo</h3> <div id="map"></div> <script> function initMap() { var uluru = {lat: -25.363, lng: 131.044}; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { zoom: 4, center: uluru }); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: uluru, map: map }); } </script> <script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap"> </script> </body> </html>
Try it yourself
At the top right corner of the sample code above are three buttons. Click the left-most button to open the sample in JSFiddle.Understanding the code
Notice that the above sample no longer contains the CSS that colors thediv
grey. This is because the div
now contains a map.This table explains each section of the above code.
Code and description | |
---|---|
|
The script loads the API from the specified URL.
The callback parameter executes the initMap function
after the API is completely loaded.
The async attribute allows the browser to continue rendering the
rest of your page while the API loads.
The key parameter contains your API key. You don't need your own
API key when experimenting with this tutorial in
JSFiddle. See Step 3: Get an API key
for instructions on getting your own API key later. |
|
The initMap function initializes and adds the map
when the web page loads. Use a script tag to include your own
JavaScript which contains the initMap function. |
|
Add this function to find the map div on the
web page. |
|
Add this new Google maps object to construct a map in the div element. |
|
Add properties to the map including the center and zoom level. See the documentation for other property options. The center property tells the API where to center the map.
The map coordinates are set in the order: latitude,
longitude.
The zoom property specifies the zoom level for the map.
Zoom: 0 is the lowest zoom, and displays the entire earth.
Set the zoom value higher to zoom in to the earth at higher resolutions. |
|
Add this code to put a marker on the map. The position
property sets the position of the marker.
|
Step 3: Get an API key
This section explains how to authenticate your app to the Google Maps JavaScript API using your own API key.Follow these steps to get an API key:
- Go to the Google API Console.
- Create or select a project.
- Click Continue to enable the API and any related services.
-
On the Credentials page, get an API key
(and set the API key restrictions).
Note: If you have an existing unrestricted API key, or a key with browser restrictions, you may use that key.
-
To prevent quota theft,
secure your API key following these best practices.
-
(Optional) Enable billing. See Usage Limits
for more information.
- Copy the entire code of this tutorial from this page, to your text editor. If you don't already have a text editor, here are some recommendations: You can use: Notepad++ (for Windows); TextEdit (for macOS); gedit, KWrite, among others (for Linux machines).
-
Replace the value of the
key
parameter in the URL with your own API key (that's the API key that you've just obtained).
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap" async defer> </script>
-
Save this file with a name that ends with .html,
like google-maps.html.
- Load the HTML file in a web browser by dragging it from your desktop onto your browser. Alternatively, double-clicking the file works on most operating systems.
Tips and trouble-shooting
- Use the JSFiddle interface to display HTML, CSS and JavaScript code in separate panes. You can run the code and display output in the Results pane.
- You can tweak options like style and properties to customize the map. For more information on customizing maps, read the guides to styling, and drawing on the map.
-
Use the Developer Tools Console in your web browser to test and run your
code, read error reports and solve problems with your code.
Keyboard shortcuts to open the console in Chrome: Command+Option+J (on Mac), or Control+Shift+J (on Windows).
