Google Maps Flyover Slideshow - maps

I'd like to create some sort of a slideshow on a website where you can jump to predefined points on the globe by clicking next and prev buttons. Something similar to this: http://developmentseed.org/ Is it possible to create this with an embed google map? Or does anybody know another solution for this?

Google Maps Free API for NGO project

I'm building a React app and I would like to use Maps. Google Maps and other Maps APIs have a charge and this project will be free for the community (just like an NGO) so no budget at all.
In this app there is a page to create an Event, so you can type many things and where the Event will happen, and that is where I would like to use Maps, to search and show the location.
I thought that if is there any possibility to use a search box connected to an API just to get the Longitude and Latitude based on the search would be great, but I have no idea how to make it and I was expecting that you could help me find a way. (the thing is: get the information for free)
Just as I create this event, I would like to show this information on the Event page, so where the event will happen. And that would be the second part that I would like to use Maps. Do you know if I just show the location in Maps if I would be charged? If so, then I can use redirection to Google Maps using the Latitude and Longitude that I got from the event creation.
Thanks in advance!

How do you automatically add text dynamically to an image an export it?

Recently, Spotify released their 2019 Spotify wrapped web application, which is essentially a way for both music artists and music listeners to rewind and review what they listened to/who listened to their music in the past year.
As part of their site, they dynamically created these images that people could either export or share to one of their social media networks.
Above is an example of one of those dynamically generated images (of course, the image, and the text/statistics below change).
How would I go about doing this in code?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place - just wasn't sure where I would post this. Thanks in advance!
The easiest way of doing this would be to use a SVG as your base template allowing you to add in the text values after the fact.
Add the SVG to a canvas which can then be converted to jpeg by using .toDataURL("image/jpeg")

How can i automate Google map image on web page?

I am not able to automate google map screen which is present on my application web page.
I have web page where google map is present in square in half of screen. I want to click on the road present in map or a restaurant logo which is present on the google map.
When i tried to find the locators for the map then in the DOM it is present as an image and no other html properties or locators are associated with it.
Also i tried an option using moveToElement() function of action class but this solution is not reliable as most of the time it is not working.
Please suggest me any solution for this automation issue if someone faced this issue of Google maps automation before ?
Sounds like HTML5 issue over a google maps issue. This is tricky for Selenium, see these articles:
https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/html-canvas-testing-selenium-opencv-maciej-kusz/
https://chariotsolutions.com/blog/post/automated-testing-of-html5-canvas/
which recommend using action chains to move to and click certain x,y coordinates.
Also, check out the canvas javascript api; you may be able to use javascript_executor to manipulate the canvas.
