Announcement: New basemap styling is coming soon to Google Maps Platform. This update to map styling includes a new default color palette, modernized pins, and improvements to map experiences and usability. All map styles will be automatically updated in March 2025. For more information on availability and how to opt in earlier, see New map style for Google Maps Platform.
You can localize your Maps JavaScript API application by
changing the default language settings and by specifying a region code, which
alters the map's behavior based on a given country or territory.
The Maps JavaScript API team regularly updates the API with new
features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. You can indicate which
version of the API to load within your application by specifying it in the
v parameter of the Maps JavaScript API bootstrap
request.
