Mumbai's public trasportation information now on Google Maps...

         Can anybody imagine life in Mumbai without the red BEST bus or the crowded local trains? It is difficult to imagine "aamchi Mumbai" without these buses and locals.

         Knowing that life in Mumbai revolves around these trains and buses, Google India has made information on Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) Bus routes and Mumbai local train routes and schedule available on Google Maps. This information will now be available both on desktop and on mobile for millions of commuters in Mumbai, arguably the most used public transportation network in India.

         The easy access of this service will help commuters and tourists find their way seamlessly around the city using both trains and buses.

Simple Map using Google Maps API v3

Let us begin with our first example using Google Maps API v3. Even before a marker - the most basic element of a map, appears, the map should be seen on the screen. Let us have a look at the following javascript code first. We will then have a look at the elements in the code. Ta-da a map in action! This map is centred at the Sansad Bhavan, New Delhi, India. In the above code the head of the document contains a critical script element. Its src attribute points to the location of the API on Google's server. In API v3 there is no need to obtain a key for the API. The remaining is simple Javascript. Happy mapping!!!
