The Google Maps API (v2) lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages with JavaScript. Version 2 of the API has been officially deprecated as of May 19, 2010 and will be shut down on May 26, 2021.

The Google Maps API lets you embed Google Maps in your own web pages with JavaScript. The API provides a number of utilities for manipulating maps (just like on the http://maps.google.com web page) and adding content to the map through a variety of services, allowing you to create robust maps applications on your website.

Version 2 of the API has been officially deprecated as of May 19, 2010 and will be shut down on May 26, 2021. Version 2 has been withdrawn and stopped working in May 2013 (replaced with a wrapper for v3). Questions concerning legacy applications that still use version 2 should use this tag.

See Google's guide for how to transfer from using v2 to v3
