Create the map plotter:

apikey = '' # (your API key here) gmap = gmplot.GoogleMapPlotter(37.766956, -122.448481, 14, apikey=apikey)

Mark a hidden gem:

gmap.marker(37.770776, -122.461689, color='cornflowerblue')

Highlight some attractions:

attractions_lats, attractions_lngs = zip(*[ (37.769901, -122.498331), (37.768645, -122.475328), (37.771478, -122.468677), (37.769867, -122.466102), (37.767187, -122.467496), (37.770104, -122.470436) ]) gmap.scatter(attractions_lats, attractions_lngs, color='#3B0B39', size=40, marker=False)

Outline the Golden Gate Park:

golden_gate_park = zip(*[ (37.771269, -122.511015), (37.773495, -122.464830), (37.774797, -122.454538), (37.771988, -122.454018), (37.773646, -122.440979), (37.772742, -122.440797), (37.771096, -122.453889), (37.768669, -122.453518), (37.766227, -122.460213), (37.764028, -122.510347) ]) gmap.polygon(*golden_gate_park, color='cornflowerblue', edge_width=10)

Draw the map to an HTML file:
