Going where you are: Google Maps API Utility Libraries moving to Github
Wednesday, October 22, 2014
For years, we’ve hosted the open source utility libraries for the Google Maps JavaScript API on
Google Code
. These libraries provide additional functionality that developers can add to their maps applications. They also show best practices for techniques like
marker clustering
:
Putting
labels
on a map:
And
much
more
.
Over the last few years the developer community has increasingly used
GitHub
for hosting code. In order to make these libraries more useful to developers, we will be moving the utility libraries maintained by Google to our
Google Maps GitHub repository
, where they will join the
Android utility library
, the
iOS utility library
, our new
Java Client for Google Maps Services
and various code samples we’ve published. There they will be easy to fork and use in your own projects, as well as make pull requests to add new features and fix problems.
We have frozen the existing project on
code.google.com
. Future updates will be made only in the GitHub repositories. We encourage developers to get their code from the GitHub repositories instead.
