Data Layer: Styling

This example uses the data layer to add some custom shapes to a map, and shows how to apply styles to those shapes

TypeScript

let map: google.maps.Map;

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

  // Load GeoJSON.
  map.data.loadGeoJson(
    "https://storage.googleapis.com/mapsdevsite/json/google.json"
  );

  // Set the stroke width, and fill color for each polygon
  map.data.setStyle({
    fillColor: "green",
    strokeWeight: 1,
  });
}index.ts

JavaScript

let map;

function initMap() {
  map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
    zoom: 4,
    center: { lat: -28, lng: 137 },
  });
  // Load GeoJSON.
  map.data.loadGeoJson(
    "https://storage.googleapis.com/mapsdevsite/json/google.json"
  );
  // Set the stroke width, and fill color for each polygon
  map.data.setStyle({
    fillColor: "green",
    strokeWeight: 1,
  });
}
index.js

CSS

/* 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;
}
