I am someone who hasn’t touched the Google Maps API, but as a Web Developer, I am starting to think of reasons to use it. I wanted to mess around with it by adding a multiplayer FPS game map (say a map from Battlefield 3) and then putting markers and things on it.

That way I could share it with friends to show them hiding spots and they could add their own etc…

Obviously this is probably tons of work and I don’t expect to be told exactly how to do it, but I am having trouble starting given that I would be working on a custom map and not the normal maps.

Thanks!

    Google Maps API is not the API you want to be using to create your own custom maps. Rather people use Google Maps for their websites to give a visual display of locations and data relative to those locations for viewers to further understand the maker’s purpose.

    With that said, if your video uses a map that actually exists in the real world, you may be able to create a similar display using the Google Maps API. There are certain things you cannot do however, like remove the Google watermark, or create your own, so in that sense, the API may not suit your needs.
