How to migrate to Google Maps SDK from an older API?

Migrating from an older mapping API to the Google Maps SDK can be a straightforward process if you understand the necessary steps. Below you will find guidance on how to transition your application while providing an example of how to implement basic mapping functionality with the Google Maps SDK.

// Example code to initialize the Google Maps API function initMap() { // Create a map centered in a specific location var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { zoom: 8, center: {lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644} // Set the latitude and longitude }); // Add a marker to the map var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: {lat: -34.397, lng: 150.644}, map: map, title: 'Hello World!' }); }

Make sure you include the Google Maps script in your HTML file with your API key:
