Bicycle Layer

This example creates a map that displays bike paths, suggested bike routes, and other overlays specific to bicycle use.

TypeScript

function initMap(): void {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement,
    {
      zoom: 14,
      center: { lat: 42.3726399, lng: -71.1096528 },
    }
  );

  const bikeLayer = new google.maps.BicyclingLayer();
  bikeLayer.setMap(map);
}index.ts

JavaScript

function initMap() {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    zoom: 14,
    center: { lat: 42.3726399, lng: -71.1096528 },
  });
  const bikeLayer = new google.maps.BicyclingLayer();
  bikeLayer.setMap(map);
}
index.js

CSS

/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
       * element that contains the map. */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}

/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */

body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
