* Specify that we need a container in the example

* Actually, remove propTypes, will confuse ppl

* Add more instructions

* Add main title

* Quick corrections

### Heatmap Layer
For enabling heatmap layer, just add `heatmapLibrary={true}` and provide data for heatmap in `heatmap` as props.
#### Example
```javascript
<GoogleMapReact
bootstrapURLKeys={{ key: [YOUR_KEY] }}
zoom={zoom}
center={center}
heatmapLibrary={true}
heatmap={{
positions: [
{
lat: 60.714305,
lng: 47.051773,
},
...
],
options: {
radius: 20,
opacity: 0.7,
gradient: [
'rgba(0, 255, 255, 0)',
'rgba(0, 255, 255, 1)',
...
]
},
}}
>
{markers}
</GoogleMapReact>
```
#### Important Note
If you have multiple `GoogleMapReact` components in project and you want to use heatmap layer so provide `heatmapLibrary={true}` for all `GoogleMapReact` components so component will load heatmap library at the beginning with google map api.
### Localizing the Map
This is done by setting bootstrapURLKeys.[language](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/localization#Language) and bootstrapURLKeys.[region](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/localization#Region). Also notice that setting region to 'cn' is required when using the map from within China, see [google documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/localization#GoogleMapsChina) for more info. Setting 'cn' will result in use of the specific API URL for China.

# Google Map React &middot; [![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/google-map-react.svg)](http://badge.fury.io/js/google-map-react) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/istarkov/google-map-react.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/istarkov/google-map-react) [![PRs Welcome](https://img.shields.io/badge/PRs-welcome-brightgreen.svg)](github.com/istarkov/google-map-react/CONTRIBUTING.md)
`google-map-react` is a component written over a small set of the [Google Maps API](https://developers.google.com/maps/). It allows you to render any React component on the Google Map. It is fully isomorphic and can render on a server. Additionally, it can render map components in the browser even if the Google Maps API is not loaded. It uses an internal, tweakable hover algorithm - every object on the map can be hovered.
It allows you to create interfaces like this [example](http://istarkov.github.io/google-map-react/map/main) *(You can scroll the table, zoom/move the map, hover/click on markers, and click on table rows)*
## Getting started
In the simple case you just need to add `lat` and `lng` props to any child of `GoogleMapReact` component.
[See it in action at jsbin](https://jsbin.com/gaxapezowo/1/edit?js,output)
```javascript
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import GoogleMapReact from 'google-map-react';
const AnyReactComponent = ({ text }) => <div>{text}</div>;
class SimpleMap extends Component {
static defaultProps = {
center: {
lat: 59.95,
lng: 30.33
},
zoom: 11
};
render() {
return (
// Important! Always set the container height explicitly
<div style={{ height: '100vh', width: '100%' }}>
<GoogleMapReact
bootstrapURLKeys={{ key: /* YOUR KEY HERE */ }}
defaultCenter={this.props.center}
defaultZoom={this.props.zoom}
>
<AnyReactComponent
lat={59.955413}
lng={30.337844}
text={'Kreyser Avrora'}
/>
</GoogleMapReact>
</div>
);
}
}
export default SimpleMap;
```
### My map doesn't appear!
- Make sure the container element has width and height. The map will try to fill the parent container, but if the container has no size, the map will collapse to 0 width / height. This is not a requirement for google-map-react, [its a requirement for google-maps in general](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial).

There is no need to place a `<script src=` tag at top of page. The Google Maps API loads upon the first usage of the `GoogleMapReact` component.

### Internal Hover Algorithm
Now every object on the map can be hovered (however, you can still use css hover selectors if you want). If you try zooming out here [example](http://istarkov.github.io/google-map-react/map/main), you will still be able to hover on almost every map marker.

### bower
We no longer intend to support Bower. Please stop using Bower. NPM works very well for front-end development, and you should use it instead. ((c)Dan Abramov)

## Known Issues
* Older browsers (http://caniuse.com/#feat=promises) will need a ES6 Promise polyfill in order to work.
