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.

var 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
  });
}

<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
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyCkUOdZ5y7hMm0yrcCQoCvLwzdM6M8s5qk&callback=initMap">
</script>
