Last week’s class was very helpful. I learned more about API. I also went to the review session on last friday.
For this assignment, I explored Google Maps API. I called the map and marked the exact location of Parsons.
Here is the link:

Below is my code:

var mapOptions = {

};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(“map-canvas”),
mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: map.getCenter(),
map: map,

});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, ‘load’, initialize);
