Draw polygon using mouse on google maps

Here is some code (for the Google Maps JavaScript API version 3) that achieves what you want. It supports:

  • clicking to append vertices.
  • clicking on the first vertex again to close the path.
  • dragging vertices.

It’s undocumented, but hopefully you can see what it’s doing easily enough.

$(document).ready(function () {
    var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), { center: new google.maps.LatLng(21.17, -86.66), zoom: 9, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID, scaleControl: true });
    var isClosed = false;
    var poly = new google.maps.Polyline({ map: map, path: [], strokeColor: "#FF0000", strokeOpacity: 1.0, strokeWeight: 2 });
    google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (clickEvent) {
        if (isClosed)
            return;
        var markerIndex = poly.getPath().length;
        var isFirstMarker = markerIndex === 0;
        var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ map: map, position: clickEvent.latLng, draggable: true });
        if (isFirstMarker) {
            google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
                if (isClosed)
                    return;
                var path = poly.getPath();
                poly.setMap(null);
                poly = new google.maps.Polygon({ map: map, path: path, strokeColor: "#FF0000", strokeOpacity: 0.8, strokeWeight: 2, fillColor: "#FF0000", fillOpacity: 0.35 });
                isClosed = true;
            });
        }
        google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'drag', function (dragEvent) {
            poly.getPath().setAt(markerIndex, dragEvent.latLng);
        });
        poly.getPath().push(clickEvent.latLng);
    });
});
