# SYNOPSIS

     use HTML::GoogleMaps::V3

     $map = HTML::GoogleMaps::V3->new;
     $map->center("1810 Melrose St, Madison, WI");
     $map->add_marker(point => "1210 W Dayton St, Madison, WI");
     $map->add_marker(point => [ 51, 0 ] );   # Greenwich
    
     my ($head, $map_div) = $map->onload_render;

# NOTE

This module is forked from [HTML::GoogleMaps](https://metacpan.org/pod/HTML::GoogleMaps), it is an almost drop in
replacement requiring minimal changes to your code other than adding the ::V3
namespace. If you are using the deprecated ->render method you should change
this to ->onload\_render as this version of the module removes ->render

Note that V3 of the API does not require an API key so any key passed to this
module will be ignored

# DESCRIPTION

HTML::GoogleMaps::V3 provides a simple wrapper around the Google Maps
API. It allows you to easily create maps with markers, polylines and
information windows. Thanks to Geo::Coder::Google you can now look
up locations around the world without having to install a local database.

# CONSTRUCTOR

- $map = HTML::GoogleMaps::V3->new;

    Creates a new HTML::GoogleMaps::V3 object. Takes a hash of options.
    Valid options are:

    - height => height (in pixels or using your own unit)
    - width => width (in pixels or using your own unit)

# METHODS

- $map->center($point)

    Center the map at a given point.

- $map->v2\_zoom($level)

    Set the new zoom level (0 is corsest)

- $map->controls($control1, $control2)

    Enable the given controls. Valid controls are: **large\_map\_control**,
    **small\_map\_control**, **small\_zoom\_control** and **map\_type\_control**.

- $map->dragging($enable)

    Enable or disable dragging.

- $map->info\_window($enable)

    Enable or disable info windows.

- $map->map\_type($type)

    Set the map type. Either **normal**, **satellite** or **hybrid**. The
    v1 API **map\_type** or **satellite\_type** still work, but may be dropped
    in a future version.

- $map->map\_id($id)

    Set the id of the map div

- $map->add\_icon(name => $icon\_name,
                     image => $image\_url,
                     shadow => $shadow\_url,
                     icon\_size => \[ $width, $height \],
                     shadow\_size => \[ $width, $height \],
                     icon\_anchor => \[ $x, $y \],
                     info\_window\_anchor => \[ $x, $y \]);

    Adds a new icon, which can later be used by add\_marker. All args
    are required except for info\_window\_anchor.

- $map->add\_marker(point => $point, html => $info\_window\_html)

    Add a marker to the map at the given point. A point can be a unique
    place name, like an address, or a pair of coordinates passed in as
    an arrayref: \[ longituded, latitude \].

    If **html** is specified,
    add a popup info window as well. **icon** can be used to switch to
    either a user defined icon (via the name) or a standard google letter
    icon (A-J).

    Any data given for **html** is placed inside a 350px by 200px div to
    make it fit nicely into the Google popup. To turn this behavior off 
    just pass **noformat** => 1 as well.

- $map->add\_polyline(points => \[ $point1, $point2 \])

    Add a polyline that connects the list of points. Other options
    include **color** (any valid HTML color), **weight** (line width in
    pixels) and **opacity** (between 0 and 1).

- $map->onload\_render

    Renders the map and returns a two element list. The first element
    needs to be placed in the head section of your HTML document. The
    second in the body where you want the map to appear. You will also 
    need to add a call to html\_googlemaps\_initialize() in your page's 
    onload handler. The easiest way to do this is adding it to the body
    tag:

        <body onload="html_googlemaps_initialize()">
