Read the documentation.

JavaScript

async function init() {
    const { Map3DElement, Marker3DInteractiveElement, PopoverElement } =
        await google.maps.importLibrary('maps3d');

    const map = new Map3DElement({
        center: { lat: 37.8204, lng: -122.4783, altitude: 0.407 },
        range: 4000,
        tilt: 74,
        heading: 38,
        mode: 'HYBRID',
    });

    // Popovers can only be added to interactive Markers
    const interactiveMarker = new Marker3DInteractiveElement({
        altitudeMode: 'ABSOLUTE',
        position: { lat: 37.819852, lng: -122.478549, altitude: 100 },
    });

    const popover = new PopoverElement({
        open: false,
        positionAnchor: interactiveMarker,
    });

    popover.append('Golden Gate Bridge');

    interactiveMarker.addEventListener('gmp-click', () => {
        // toggle the marker to the other state (unlee you are clicking on the marker itself when it reopens it)
        popover.open = !popover.open;
    });

    map.append(interactiveMarker);
    map.append(popover);

    document.body.append(map);
}

void init();

CSS

/* 
 * Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div element
 * that contains the map. 
 */
html,
map {
    height: 100%;
}
body {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}

Clone Sample

Git and Node.js are required to run this sample locally. Follow these instructions to install Node.js and NPM. You will also need a Google Maps API key.

The following commands clone the repository, install dependencies, and copy the environment file.

  git clone https://github.com/googlemaps-samples/js-api-samples.git
  cd js-api-samples
  npm i
  cp .env.template .env

Once you copy the environment file, make sure to open the .env file and replace <Insert your own development API key here> with your actual API key before starting the sample.

  cd samples/3d-popover-marker
  npm start
