Google Maps is a free web mapping service powered by Google that powers many map-based services including the Google Maps website, Google Ride Finder and Google embedded maps on third-party websites via the Google Maps API. It offers street maps, a route planner for bicycles, pedestrians and cars, and an urban business locator for numerous countries around the world. A related product is Google Earth, a stand-alone program for Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux which offers more globe-viewing features.

Google Maps provides high-resolution satellite images for most urban areas in Canada and the United States,New Zealand, Australia, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iran, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Ireland, Iraq, Japan, Jordan, South Korea, Taiwan, the Bahamas, Bermuda, Kuwait, Mexico, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and many other countries. Google Maps also includes many cities like Moscow, Istanbul, and most of Indian subcontinent.

Like many other Google web applications, Google Maps is using JavaScript. As the user drags the map, the grid squares are downloaded from the server and placed on the page. When a user searches for a business, the results are downloaded in the background for insertion into the side panel and map - the page is not reloaded. Locations are drawn dynamically by positioning a red pin on top of the map images. It also uses JSON for data transfer rather than XML, for performance reasons. These techniques both fall under the wide Ajax based solutions.

As the Google Maps code is more or less JavaScript and XML, some developers reverse-engineered the tool and shaped client-side scripts and server-side hooks which made possible a user or website to set up expanded or customized features into the Google Maps interface. Using the core engine and the map images hosted by Google, such tools can initiate custom location icons, location coordinates and metadata, and even custom map image sources into the Google Maps interface.
