Asynchronous methods throughout Google Maps JavaScript API return Promises.

Support Note: Starting in 2020, new APIs only support Promises. Usage

See this guide on using Promises or the examples below for making asynchronous method calls with Google Maps JavaScript API.

Async and await

The await operator is used to wait for a Promise. It can only be used inside an async function.

const app = async () => {
  const elevationService = google.maps.ElevationService();
  const locations = [{lat: 27.986065, lng:86.922623}];

  const response = await elevationService.getElevationForLocation({locations});
  console.log(response.results);
};

app();
Then, catch, and finally

The Promise object has then, catch, and finally methods that take callback functions.

const elevationService = google.maps.ElevationService();
const locations = [{lat: 27.986065, lng:86.922623}];

const promise = elevationService.getElevationForLocation({locations});

promise
    .then((response) => {
      console.log(response.results);
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.log(error);
    });
    .finally(() => {
      console.log('done');
    });
Async callback pattern

The callback pattern is still valid and supported.

const elevationService = google.maps.ElevationService();
const locations = [{lat: 27.986065, lng:86.922623}];

const callback = (results, status) => {
  if (status === 'OK') {
    console.log(results);
  } else {
    // handle this case
  }
};

elevationService.getElevationForLocation({locations}, callback);
