Steps to integrate Google Maps in Oracle APEX

• Create a Static Content region and assign a Static ID (e.g. map)

• Write a JS function to draw the map in that region (e.g. initMap)
• new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'))
• Write function to draw required layer on map
• new google.maps.Polygon(map, coordinates)
• new google.maps.Circle(map, centerPoint, radius)
• new google.maps.Marker(map, position)
• new MarkerClusterer(map, markers, image)
• Call the function (initMap) on page load
• Include Google Maps API Key for the map in page HTML Header
<script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=GOOGLE_API_KEY&callback=initMap"></script>
