Example Google Maps JSON File

(This article series was updated in mid-2017 with current information and new examples.)

Google Maps, launched in 2005, is a leading online mapping service offering route planning, satellite imagery, real-time traffic, and more. Its popularity is undeniable, particularly in the mobile sector, ranking as the top smartphone app in 2013 (GlobalWebIndex). The service also provides a powerful API for developers to integrate maps into their websites.

This tutorial demonstrates how to add multiple markers to a Google Map using JSON data. This data, defining marker information, can be stored in a file or a database, accessed remotely or locally via an API.

Marker Data (JSON):

{
  "markers": [
    {
      "name": "Rixos The Palm Dubai",
      "position": [25.1212, 55.1535],
    },
    {
      "name": "Shangri-La Hotel",
      "location": [25.2084, 55.2719]
    },
    {
      "name": "Grand Hyatt",
      "location": [25.2285, 55.3273]
    }
  ]
}
