Place Details

This example uses a place ID to create a new Place, calls Place.fetchFields requesting the displayName and formattedAddress fields, adds a marker to the map, and logs some data to the console.

Use the Place Overview component

The Place Overview component displays detailed information about millions of businesses, including opening hours, star reviews, and photos, plus directions and other actions in a premade UI in 5 sizes and formats. It is part of the Extended Component Library, from Google Maps Platform, a set of web components that helps developers build better maps and location features faster.

Use the Place Overview configurator to create embeddable code for a custom Place Overview component, then export it to be used with popular frameworks like React and Angular or no framework at all.
