--- layout: example.html title: Google Maps shortdesc: Map with tiles from Google Maps docs: > This example demonstrates how to display tiles from Google's Map Tiles API in a map. To use the Google Map Tiles API, you need to set up a Google Cloud project and create an API key for your application. See the [Map Tiles API documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/tile/overview) for instructions. The `ol/source/Google` source can be used with a tile layer and is configured by passing properties to the constructor that are used in creating the [session token request](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/tile/session_tokens) for accessing the tiles. The `mapType` defaults to `'roadmap'` and can be changed to any of the supported map types. tags: "google" ---
