The Places UI Kit component library lets you bring the familiar Google Maps user experience
for Places to your apps and web pages, using the same data that powers the Places API. It
includes a set of individual UI components that can be used independently, together, or in
conjunction with other Google Maps Platform APIs to deliver a Places-rich experience with
minimal cost and code.
The Places UI Kit includes the following HTML elements for rendering Places data:
Place Details Elements
(Place Details and Place Details Compact) render details such as opening hours, website,
and reviews for a selected place.
Place Search Elements
(Place Nearby Search and Place Text Search) render a list of places in response to either a
nearby search or text search query.
Basic Place Autocomplete Element renders a text input field, supplies place
predictions in a UI pick list, and returns a place ID for the selected place.
Elevation
(experimental) renders elevation data as a numerical value for a single point, or as a
visual plot for a path.
Key features and capabilities
Incorporate Google's trusted experience starting with minimal code.
Bring Google Maps UI for Places to your apps at a lower cost than the Places API.
Choose the data and display options that best suit your needs.
