How to make a Google Maps URL to get both marker and terrain?

Question

In the https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/urls/get-started examples

• We can have a marker, https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=47.5951518%2C-122.3316393
• Or we can choose a basemap, e.g., terrain, https://www.google.com/maps/@?api=1&map_action=map&center=-33.712206%2C150.311941&zoom=12&basemap=terrain

But how can we have both a marker and terrain? I can't hack together a URL that will do it.

Answer 1

You can't do this with the offical api. This is not really documented by google maps, so it could change from time to time:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/47.5951518,-122.3316393/@47.5951518,-122.3316393,10z/data=!5m1!1e4

Scheme:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/{lat},{lng}/@{lat},{lng},{zoom}z/data={style}

Style:

• Terrain: /data=!5m1!1e4
• Earth: /data=!3m1!1e3

Zoom:

1-19z

This works in the desktop version / browser. Not in a mobile app.
