on this application, you type in your home address, and the map changes to a view with outlines for each house? Do any of you know how they did this? Or what route they took? Any helpful information related to this, or interactive maps would be very appreciated.

The URL you reference gives an image, not a map, so it might just be a mockup of something they would like to do.
It is also possible that this app is for a limited geographical region and they figured out the parcel information by hand (or got it from their city).
It's hard to tell with just an image.

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!

I am in the process of creating and publishing a map in Google My Maps, to show locations of various groups of businesses. The published map includes an option under the Share link to grab the embed code so as to publish the map elsewhere. I view the content of my map as having a value, and don't want others to be able to publish it. Can I disable the Embed option in the Share menu? Searching Google help has not helped.
I dont believe you can prevent users from downloading or sharing your google my maps. If you need to embed it, you will need to share it first. Once you share it, its accessible by anyone. Once its accessible, there is no way to prevent people from downloading, embedding or further sharing your data.
You can restrict whom you share it with but i guess you already know that and it is not what you want.
I am myself extremely interested in knowing if there is a solution/workaround to this
I'm trying to figure out how to attach a tracking code to a link and still keep the anchor functional. This will be used in an email newsletter.
ex:
www.example.com/welcome#Intro so that link would scroll down to the intro section right?
now if I were to do the same thing but like this www.example.com/welcome#Intro?TrackingCode the scroll no longer works.
I tried to google it but I couldn't find anything, any suggestions?
thanks for your time!
Don't think you can track scrolls. The images load top to bottom. We can't use anything like lazy load as JavaScripts don't work in emails unless it's viewed in the browser. If you want to use on browser then you can use jQuery to do that.
This link uses an indoor version of google street view.
If you move around, it displays information on various plants.
Has anyone had any experience in doing this? If you how is it done? I've been asked to do the same kind of thing.
i have done similar project. i may able to help you with your project, its kind of complicated, so i will just show a a demo

then click on "view all virtual tours" . then click 'edit' on one of the virtual tours.
We have a property/accommodation profile page that lists a property address including postcode. This information is stored in a SQL Server database table and the page has a recordset that allows us to feed profile information onto a page depending on the propertyID that is selected (either via link or using a form) by the user.
We created a field in the database table that would allow us to insert the Google Map embed code for a property and, subsequently, we'd then call that on the property profile page but this requires us to create the embed code in Google Maps first, have to paste that into our database field etc, before it would display a map on our page.
So...we would like to database drive the map based on the postcode. Is that possible?
We really don't want to have to get into longitude/latitude coordinates, we just want the map to identify the postcode and put a place marker on a map where that postcode appears.
How do we acheive this? We've tried looking through the documentation and help files, but we really don't know what we're asking for so finding answers is proving incredibly difficult or the answers that we've found seem extremely technical (Google API, Geocoding, etc) for what we're trying to acheive.
Could someone point us in the right direction?
We hoped that there would be some way of inserting the postcode, dynamically, into generic embed code from Google Maps and that Google Maps would do the rest.
Anyway, we would appreciate any help and advice that could be offered. Thank you.

Traditionally Postcode data in the UK costs lots of money.
You can now download the Ordnance Survey data and convert their data into Latitude and longitude which would let you plot coordinates on google maps. (http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/products/code-point-open/index.html)
