JavaScript
functioninitMap(){ constmap=newgoogle.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"),{ zoom:11, center:{lat:41.876,lng:-87.624}, }); constctaLayer=newgoogle.maps.KmlLayer({ url:"https://googlearchive.github.io/js-v2-samples/ggeoxml/cta.kml", map:map, }); } window.initMap=initMap;
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; }
