GoogleMapsOverlay

This class implements the OverlayView interface and can be used as any other Google Maps overlay.

Usage

  import {GoogleMapsOverlay as DeckOverlay} from '@deck.gl/google-maps';
  import {GeoJsonLayer} from '@deck.gl/layers';

  // Create map
  const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
    center: { lat: 40, lng: -100 },
    zoom: 5
  });

  // Create overlay instance
  const overlay = new DeckOverlay({
    layers: [
      new GeoJsonLayer({
        ...
      })
    ]
  });
  // Add overlay to map
  overlay.setMap(map);

Constructor

const overlay = new GoogleMapsOverlay(props)

props are forwarded to a Deck instance. The following Deck props are supported:

• layers
• effects
• parameters
• pickingRadius
• useDevicePixels
• onWebGLInitialized
• onBeforeRender
• onAfterRender
• onLoad

Methods

setMap

overlay.setMap(map);

Add/remove the overlay from a map. An overlay can be temporarily hidden from a map by calling setMap(null). Removing an overlay does not destroy the WebGL context; use finalize() if the overlay should be permanently removed.

setProps

overlay.setProps(props);

Update (partial) props.

pickObject

Equivalent of deck.pickObject.

pickObjects

Equivalent of deck.pickObjects.

pickMultipleObjects

Equivalent of deck.pickMultipleObjects.

finalize

overlay.finalize();

Remove the overlay and release all underlying resources.
