实施谷歌地图的最佳方式

Question

I found two way to implement google maps.

The First One

<script src = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>

The Second One

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/jsapi?key=....key"></script>

my questions:-

1- What is difference between them?

2- Can I download (save) a part of google maps (my country map or city) to my localhost?

Answer 1

For your second question

By Broswer Google maps can only be executed using internet. Eventually local copy are actually not allowed and above all does not work. Google Maps can used only as a service and not as a local library. For Mobile you can access (and also edit) your maps locally eg see this

Answer 2

In HTML5, you no longer need to define the type attribute for JS includes, so this format works:

<script src = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>

Additionally, you are referencing the v3 of the Google Maps API with the above URL - see here in their documentation .

Answer 3

First question: This was answered by @staypuftman.

Second question: You may save a local copy of a part of google maps using Google Static Maps which will return a value as an image file.
