Data Layer: Polygon

This example uses the Data layer to create a polygon with two internal holes. If you don't use the data layer to create an inner hole, you must define a path wound in the opposite direction to the outer path as shown in this alternative.

Read the documentation.

TypeScript

// This example uses the Google Maps JavaScript API's Data layer
// to create a rectangular polygon with 2 holes in it.

function initMap(): void {
  const map = new google.maps.Map(
    document.getElementById("map") as HTMLElement,
    {
      zoom: 6,
      center: { lat: -33.872, lng: 151.252 },
    }
  );

  // Define the LatLng coordinates for the outer path.
  const outerCoords = [
    { lat: -32.364, lng: 153.207 }, // north west
    { lat: -35.364, lng: 153.207 }, // south west
    { lat: -35.364, lng: 158.207 }, // south east
    { lat: -32.364, lng: 158.207 }, // north east
  ];

  // Define the LatLng coordinates for an inner path.
  const innerCoords1 = [
    { lat: -33.364, lng: 154.207 },
    { lat: -34.364, lng: 154.207 },
    { lat: -34.364, lng: 155.207 },
    { lat: -33.364, lng: 155.207 },
  ];

  // Define the LatLng coordinates for another inner path.
  const innerCoords2 = [
    { lat: -33.364, lng: 156.207 },
    { lat: -34.364, lng: 156.207 },
    { lat: -34.364, lng: 157.207 },
    { lat: -33.364, lng: 157.207 },

  map.data.add({
    geometry: new google.maps.Data.Polygon([
      outerCoords,
      innerCoords1,
      innerCoords2,
