This example shows a live GPS track on a Google Map, plotting the user’s current position with a custom marker whose icon updates as location accuracy improves. It uses the Google Maps JavaScript API and the browser’s `navigator.geolocation.watchPosition` method to continuously update the map center and zoom level based on reported precision. The code also accumulates a data log of latitude, longitude, accuracy, and elapsed time, which can be exported by clicking the marker.

GPS

This example visualizes GPS route data on an interactive map, showing a path of timestamped waypoints overlaid on OpenStreetMap tiles. The map centers on the route’s starting location and renders the track as a red line connecting green waypoints. Built with D3.js v5 and Leaflet, the code uses `d3.geoPath` with a custom `d3.geoTransform` to project GeoJSON coordinates into Leaflet’s layer points, while SVG elements are appended to the map’s overlay pane for animation and styling.

simple implementation of a google map using the react-google-map library

This example shows a simple interactive map centered on a fixed coordinate, with a marker placed at that location. It demonstrates the core usage of the react-google-maps library by rendering a `GoogleMap` component inside a `GoogleMapLoader`, which attaches the map to a full-size container div. The map’s zoom is set to 15, and the `options` prop disables the street view and map type controls. Markers are rendered from an array passed via `this.props.markers`, in addition to a hardcoded marker at the given latitude and longitude, illustrating how to compose map elements with React props.

Gist 6cd6fea1125bc0e25597996d418bc20d

This example shows a React application that displays a Google Map centered on a specific location, with markers loaded from an external JSON file and rendered using the `react-google-maps` library. It also includes a separate "Places" component that fetches employee data from another JSON file via `axios` and lists their first names. The map uses the `GoogleMapLoader` and `GoogleMap` components, with custom marker icons, while the places list demonstrates asynchronous data fetching and state management. The visualization combines geographic positioning with a simple text-based list, illustrating how to integrate map and non-map data in a single React interface.

Events

This example shows a geographic map of volunteer events across U.S. cities, with clickable markers that open detailed infowindows containing event descriptions, dates, addresses, and volunteer counts. The map uses the Google Maps JavaScript API, with custom top-center controls to pan and zoom between city locations. Event data is fetched from a remote server via jQuery AJAX, and dates are formatted using Moment.js; the visualization also supports URL parameters to filter events by date range.

leafletjs location

This example demonstrates browser geolocation using the Leaflet.js mapping library, showing a map that automatically centers on the user’s detected position with a marker and popup. If location lookup fails, it falls back to a predefined point in China, displaying an alert and a marker labeled “Some where.” The map uses OpenStreetMap tile layers via `L.tileLayer`, and the geolocation logic relies on Leaflet’s `map.locate` method with `setView:true` and a max zoom of 10. Location success and error events are handled through `map.on("locationfound")` and `map.on("locationerror")`.

Position Helper

Built with Mapbox GL JS v1.5.0 and the Mapbox Geocoder plugin, this interactive map acts as a position helper for scrollytelling projects. A fixed crosshair target sits at the screen center, while a side panel continuously displays the map’s current center coordinates, zoom level, pitch, and bearing. The tool updates these parameters on every map move, and also adds a 3D building extrusion layer from the Mapbox composite source. This provides a practical way to copy camera settings for storytelling sequences, as demonstrated in the linked Mapbox blog example.

Google Maps + D3

This example overlays a custom D3 visualization on an interactive Google Map, plotting California weather station data as brown circles with labeled markers. The map displays terrain tiles from the Google Maps API, while the overlay is drawn using D3’s `d3.json` to load station coordinates and attributes. Each marker is rendered as a separate inline SVG element, positioned via the Google Maps projection’s `fromLatLngToDivPixel` method when the overlay is added. The code combines the Google Maps JavaScript API with D3’s selection and data-binding capabilities to synchronize the dynamic overlay with the map’s pan and zoom.

Google Map + D3 Generated Layers

This example demonstrates a Google Map with multiple D3-generated layers overlaid, including choropleth countries, GeoHash grid cells, a heat map, a graph, and a graticule. The GMapLayered widget composites these layers, with countries colored by weight using a palette and GeoHash data shown as colored tiles. The visualization also renders a heat map and a graph of weighted points, all anchored to geographic coordinates. The code uses the hpcc-systems Visualization library’s map components to manage layer rendering and interaction.
