gmaps.js is a JavaScript library that wraps the Google Maps API with a simpler, more concise interface for creating and manipulating maps. It provides easy methods for markers, polylines, polygons, routes, geocoding, layers, and context menus without verbose Google Maps boilerplate.

Use cases

  • embed a Google Map on a webpage with minimal code
  • add markers and info windows to a map
  • draw routes and directions on a map
  • geocode addresses to coordinates
  • draw polygons, circles, and rectangles on a map
  • create custom context menus on maps
  • load KML or Fusion Tables layers

When to choose

  • you want a simple wrapper around the Google Maps JavaScript API
  • you need quick map prototyping with markers, routes, and overlays
  • you prefer concise code over the verbose native Google Maps API

When to avoid

  • you need actively maintained software (last release 2020, migration to NPM incomplete)
  • you use Mapbox, Leaflet, or another mapping provider instead of Google Maps
  • you need advanced Google Maps features not covered by the wrapper
