This example uses a tile overlay `MapType` to overlay the map's tile
coordinates on top of the default map tiles.

[documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/maptypes.md.txt#OverlayMapTypes).

### TypeScript

```typescript
/*
 * This demo illustrates the coordinate system used to display map tiles in the
 * API.
 *
 * Tiles in Google Maps are numbered from the same origin as that for
 * pixels. For Google's implementation of the Mercator projection, the origin
 * tile is always at the northwest corner of the map, with x values increasing
 * from west to east and y values increasing from north to south.
 *
 * Try panning and zooming the map to see how the coordinates change.

### CSS

```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. 
 */
html,
body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}
```
