Creating
Google maps in web page using Google API is as simple as drinking a cup of coffee.
Markers are the pinpoints that point the symbolic representation of the given
address. Info window is a type of popup that displays some data like address or
location when the Marker are clicked. In the below code you can view the
implementation of google maps for given locations.
