The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

mapfu

Submitted by geetarista on April 13, 2010 - 1:55pm

jQuery mapfu is a simple plugin to allow easy Google Map creation using version 3 of the JavaScript API. This means that an API key is not needed, but it also means that only features supported in V3 of the API are available to the plugin. Google is continually updating and adding new features to the API. I will continue to add more until the plugin supports all features in the V3 API and hopefully keep up with Google as they make changes.

bMap

Submitted by darren.dignam on April 2, 2010 - 2:54pm

This plugin allows you to quickly and easily add mapping to your website. It has been designed from the beginning to handle lots of markers, lots of layers, and custom marker icons.

The plugin can manage a sidebar for you, one with a list of markers, one with a list of layers. The sidebars can be styled with CSS.

The internal Google object is exposed, so you can continue to use all of the power of the Google Maps API. You can also access the internals of the bMap object.

Sample Usage:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#map1").bMap({
      mapZoom: 13,
      mapCenter:[51.501690392607, -0.1263427734375]
   });
});

Google Street View

Submitted by charlesmarshall on March 25, 2010 - 5:25pm

** Browser compatibility is an on going issue, this is only guaranteed to work in Firefox 3.2 at the moment, working on rest! **

Unsurprisingly enough getting street view on your google map isn’t any easy task. It has got a lot better recently, with more functions making life easier but nothing to match to complexity or the features of the main google maps site.

What’s Missing

In order to replicate the googles own maps there are certain key features that don’t exist by default, so I’ve had to copy it as close as possible.

The Little Man

The big one, that little man just above the zoom. There simply isn’t an API feature for that. This is why you don’t see any demos that have that man, it’s a Google only interface item.

At a guess, this is a heavily customised GControl with a GMarker mixed in to provide the draggable ability. Not something that can be replicated quickly.

jQuery UI widget for creating themable google maps direction service utility.

Use this widget for computing directions between two places by specifying location of origin, destination, preferred unit system and a type of routing.

This widget is the first one of a serie intended to be lightweight widgets to use among google maps API reference.

The widget definition includes some english literals. These literals have been defined in the same file so that you can use/change them easily.

Google Map List

Submitted by ngmaloney on February 19, 2010 - 4:37pm

This plugin creates a google map with markers defined from a simple HTML List. It was developed primarily to be used in a CMS so users could create their own maps. There are no external dependencies, aside from Google Maps.

The plugin performs (throttled) GEOCode lookups of each location in the list so entering Latitude and Longitude is not needed. Each lookup will cause a delay so the optimal number of points to map is 10 or less, although any number can be added.

fuGMAP jQuery Google Maps Plugin

Submitted by ChrisMcKee on February 7, 2010 - 6:18pm

fuGMAP is a lightweight jQuery plugin create neat Google Maps on your site or in apps. Its about 3.5kb (no whitespace) or even smaller if your using GZIP.

What have I crammed in that isn’t in the other;
* GEO-Coding (add an address and let google do the location)
* Marker XML Files; Load in a marker xml file to your maps by just adding the url.
* Add info window with text or with IFRAME (by URL) to any Long/Lat Marker or GeoCoded Marker
* Feature Request; Anything you think would be useful, let me know on the Google Code page and If a few people think its useful (or I do) I’ll code it.

Already being coded;
* KML File Interpretation
