Get help
Feeling a little stuck? There are several ways to get some help with your app.
- Ask a question on Stack Overflow.
- Report a bug or feature request on the issue tracker.
Community support on Stack Overflow
We use the popular programming Q&A website Stack Overflow to field technical questions about the Maps URLs. Stack Overflow is a collaboratively-edited question and answer site for programmers. The site is not run by Google, but you can sign in using your Google account. It's a great place to ask technical questions about developing and maintaining your app.
Members of the Google Maps Platform team monitor several Google Maps related tags
on Stack Overflow. You can look for Google Maps Platform APIs topics by adding
google-maps
to your search query. You can look for Maps URLs-specific topics by adding
google-maps-urls. You may wish to add additional tags to your question
to attract the attention of experts in related technologies.
Before posting a question on Stack Overflow:
Before posting, please search the group to see if someone has already
answered your question.
When posting a new question, please consider the following:
- Be very clear about your question in the subject — it helps those trying to answer your question as well as those who may be looking for information in the future.
- Give plenty of details in your post to help others understand your problem. Consider including code snippets, logs, or links to screenshots.
- Please include a code snippet that demonstrates the problem. Most people will not debug errors in your code without a simple sample that easily reproduces the problem. If you find it difficult to host your code online, use a service like JSFiddle.
- Read the Stack Overflow Tour. The site and its community have guidelines and tips that you should follow to help ensure your question is answered.
