We’ll be getting down and dirty with the Maps API. In this lab we will take you from the basics of creating a map, to presenting useful information to your users. Come prepared with your JavaScript skills and the text editor of your choice — we recommend vim, of course.
The lab is split into exercises — so you can work ahead if you’d like, but we’ll also be walking through code for those that are less familiar with the Maps API.
