Draw Rectangles & Squares on Google Maps — No Code Needed

Key Features

  • Rectangle Tool — Turn your mouse into a shape tool. Click and drag to draw a square or rectangle anywhere on the map.
  • Color Picker — Choose a fill color before drawing. Your shapes will have a soft transparent fill and solid border.‍
  • Pan Tool — Want to move around? Switch to the pan tool so you can explore without drawing.

How It Works

  1. Pick a Tool: Use the toolbar to toggle between pan mode and rectangle drawing.
  2. Choose a Color: Select a color for your next shape.
  3. Draw a Shape: Click and drag on the map to create your rectangle or square.
  4. Repeat: Add as many shapes as you need—each one can be a different color.

Everything is built using the Google Maps JavaScript API, so your drawings update in real-time and stay fully interactive. Works perfectly with the broader Google Maps Platform and Google Cloud tools.
