List of Google Maps Domains

  • Google Maps Platform utilizes a variety of domains, including maps.googleapis.com for core services and khm.google.com for satellite imagery.

  • When configuring firewalls, ensure access to domains like maps.gstatic.com for static assets and clients4.google.com for mobile SDKs.

  • Individual Google Maps Platform web services like the Geocoding API and Directions API primarily use maps.googleapis.com, while others use their specific service name followed by .googleapis.com.

  • This domain list is subject to change, and it is recommended to review it every 2 months for updates to maintain proper functionality.

This is a list of all domains that are used by Google Maps Platform when Maps components are loaded. Use this list to help set up your firewall configuration, if your Internet access is filtered by a per-domain policy.
