 * Google Map Generator  Generate and customize your google map for free. Google Map Generator enables you to simple create customized Google map. This map can be inserted to your site via iframe or can be accessed via hypertext link.
 * Google Maps Developer Documentation Google Maps has a wide array of APIs that let you embed the robust functionality and everyday usefulness of Google Maps into your own website and applications, and overlay your own data on top of them.
 * JavaScript API v3 Embed an interactive Google Map in your webpage using JavaScript.
 * Web Services Use URL requests to access geocoding, directions, elevation, place and time zone information.
 * Frames allow a visual HTML Browser window to be split into segments, each of which can show a different document. This can lower bandwidth use, as repeating parts of a layout can be used in one frame, while variable content is displayed in another. This may come at a certain usability cost, especially in non-visual user agents,[citation needed] due to separate and independent documents (or websites) being displayed adjacent to each other and being allowed to interact with the same parent window.
 * The Google Maps API provides these web services as an interface for requesting Maps API data from external services and using them within your Maps applications. These services are designed to be used in conjunction with a map, as per the Maps API Terms of Service License Restrictions.

These web services use HTTP requests to specific URLs, passing URL parameters as arguments to the services. Generally, these services return data in the HTTP request as either JSON or XML for parsing and/or processing by your application.

A typical Web Service request is generally of the following form:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/service/output?parameters

This dataset has been built by processing various open sources of map data and collecting GPS track data during ‘Mapping Parties’ to build up road networks for world cities. Data is ‘crowd-sourced’. Although this method has been used to build road networks and boundary files, there is currently no ‘open’ source of satellite imagery

map request
Styles define rendering properties for features that are associated with styles. For example, a text style determines how such a feature is labeled on a map, while a line style determines the rendition of a linear feature such as a road. A theme is a collection of features (entities with spatial and nonspatial attributes) that are associated with styles through the use of styling rules. A base map consists of one or more themes. Mapping metadata consists of a repository of styles, themes, and base maps stored in a database.
 * "in response to a map request " : common
 * This chapter explains concepts that you should be familiar with before using MapViewer. The fundamental concepts are style, theme, base map, mapping metadata, and map.
 * A map is one of the components that MapViewer creates in response to a map request. The map can be an image file, the object representation of an image file, or a URL referring to an image file.

Query string

 * "URL with a query parameter" : common
 * " query string in URL":40k
 * The query string is a part of the URL which is passed to the program.
 * Technically, the form content is only encoded as a query string when the form submission method is GET.
