Map Demo Gallery
See examples of how you can make our next-generation maps your own.
3D data visualization
Visualize and analyze massive datasets.
Explore a 3D heatmap of water availability in the Nile Delta region using data in Google Cloud BigQuery, exported from Google Earth Engine.
Key products
Deck.gl
Bring your data to the real world with Deck.gl.
Deck.gl is an open-source data visualization framework for the web that makes it easy to create 2D and 3D visualizations of large geospatial datasets. It allows you to composite multiple layers to analyze complex data in its real-world context and gain valuable insights.
Key products
Travel app demo
Travel the world in this interactive WebGL-powered demo.
Explore a new generation of mapping experiences with WebGL-powered Maps, and see how different the world can be when you control and render on the map in three dimensions.
Key products
Maps customization
Take our new cloud-based maps customization for a test drive.
You can now create custom map styles right on the web. Our new cloud-based map styling makes it easy to tailor experiences for specific industries or customer needs. Try it out, and see how quickly you can create custom maps that publish simultaneous updates across all devices and platforms.
Key products
WebGL-powered features
See the updates to WebGL-powered Maps and the Dynamic Maps API.
New features include:
- Tilt & Rotation: You can now control the map in three dimensions. Objects can be resized, and occluded behind other objects.
- Integrated Camera Control: Instantly update all parameters at once, and implement your own camera animations.
- WebGL Overlay View: This allows you to render 2D and 3D objects directly on the basemap.

iNaturalist
Join over 4 million people sharing their observations about the natural world.
iNaturalist, a joint initiative of the California Academy of Sciences and the National Geographic Society, allows you to track encounters with organisms around the world. With over 75,000,000 recorded observations so far, the crowdsourced data lives in the cloud and helps scientists understand when and where organisms are found.
Key products
Smart Cities
See how digital twins can be implemented using Google Maps API WebGL with 3D features.
Ubilabs created a demo, “Moving Hamburg,” to show how digital twins can be used to perform digital analyses and scenarios before being put to the test in the real world.
Key products
3D Driving Simulator
Drive anywhere on Google Maps in 3D.
Race through the streets of Paris, take a Sunday drive around the neighborhood, or rally in the desert – all in three dimensions on Google Maps. You can use your computer, tablet, or phone to drive anywhere in the world.
Key products
WebGL and CARTO
Explore a sample data visualization story that showcases the possibilities of custom maps.
Google Maps Platform and CARTO have collaborated to bring rich data visualization to web maps. This example uses multiple methods of visualization to tell the story of the potential electrification of truck fleets.
Capabilities
Data-driven styling
Style boundaries with or without your business data.
Check out a variety of use cases enabled by data-driven styling. It allows you to easily display, and style Google’s polygons for administrative boundaries, or add your business data to create choropleth maps.
Key products
Interactive city tour
Explore two unique cities and learn how to build your own custom maps.
Take a grand tour through Barcelona and retro Tokyo to explore historical landmarks and unearth hidden mementos. See how Google Maps Platform products can help you build unique, interactive geospatial experiences.
Capabilities
