Cómo personalizar un mapa de Google Maps: leyendas personalizadas

Descripción general

En este instructivo, encontrarás información sobre cómo crear una leyenda en un mapa de Google Maps. Por lo general, las leyendas describen los símbolos y marcadores de un mapa. Puedes crearlas con la función de posicionamiento de los controles personalizados.

El siguiente mapa contiene una leyenda que brinda información sobre tres marcadores personalizados diferentes que aparecen en el mapa.

En la siguiente sección, se muestra el código completo que necesitas para crear el mapa y la leyenda que se explican en este instructivo.

Prueba la muestra

En las siguientes secciones, se explican los pasos principales que se deben seguir para crear una leyenda.

Cómo crear el contenedor de una leyenda

En la siguiente tabla, se explica el código que personaliza la leyenda.

Código y descripción 
<div id="legend"><h3>Legend</h3></div>

Crea un div para incluir el contenido.
Agrega un título de nivel tres (3) en el div.		 
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_BOTTOM].push
(document.getElementById('legend'));

Agrega una posición de control para posicionar el div en la parte inferior derecha del mapa.
Obtén información acerca de más opciones de posición de controles. 
<style>
  #legend {
    font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
    background: #fff;
    padding: 10px;
    margin: 10px;
    border: 3px solid #000;
  }
</style>

Define el diseño del control de leyenda con CSS.

Cómo agregar el contenido de la leyenda

Usa la definición de diseños de marcadores existentes para propagar la leyenda.

var legend = document.getElementById('legend');
for (var style in styles) {
  var name = style.name;
  var icon = style.icon;
  var div = document.createElement('div');
  div.innerHTML = '<img src="' + icon + '"> ' + name;
  legend.appendChild(div);
}
