Data Layer: Drag and Drop GeoJSON

To use this example, drag and drop a GeoJSON file or files from your computer on to the map above. You can also drag text or HTML GeoJSON content from another website or from the sample below.

View this example full screen or check out the reference documentation for google.maps.Data.
