Creating with Google Maps

Course Overview

This course, Creating with Google Maps, provides an overview of the tools available in Google Cloud to manipulate data and create a Google Map. Participants will learn how to map location details to find subway stations or a business, use geocoding and Apps Script to send an email of a map, visualize data on a customized map, and build a server-side proxy to create a map on a mobile device. By the end of the course, participants will have a better understanding of how to use Google Maps to create and manipulate data.

[Applications]
The application of this course can be seen in a variety of ways. For example, businesses can use the skills learned in this course to create custom maps to help customers find their locations. Additionally, developers can use the skills learned to create a server-side proxy to create a map on a mobile device. Furthermore, the geocoding and Apps Script skills can be used to send an email of a map to customers. Finally, data can be visualized on a customized map to help businesses better understand their customers.
