Data Layer: Simple

This example uses a data layer to set the stroke width and fill color for the polygons provided from a GeoJSON file.

var map;
function initMap() {
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    zoom: 4,
    center: {lat: -28, lng: 137}
  });

  // NOTE: This uses cross-domain XHR, and may not work on older browsers.
  map.data.loadGeoJson(
      'https://storage.googleapis.com/mapsdevsite/json/google.json');
}

<div id="map"></div>

/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
 * element that contains the map. */
#map {
  height: 100%;
}
/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
html, body {
  height: 100%;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

<!-- Replace the value of the key parameter with your own API key. -->
<script async defer
