Page Summary
-
This code demonstrates the usage of the Google Maps JavaScript API's Place class to retrieve and display place details.
-
It fetches the place's display name, formatted address, and location using a place ID.
-
An advanced marker is added to the map at the place's location, displaying its name.
-
It utilizes asynchronous functions and the
google.maps.importLibrarymethod to load necessary libraries. -
The sample includes TypeScript and JavaScript code snippets along with HTML and CSS for displaying the map.
This example uses a place ID to create a new Place, calls Place.fetchFields
requesting the displayName and formattedAddress fields, adds a marker to the
map, and logs some data to the console.
