Thanks for filing!  I've shared your request with the team.

Will the GoogleBar become available sometime soon for V3? :0)

I would like this feature added as well.

I'm really looking forward to resolving this.

Can someone comment on why this hasn't been completed yet?

Is there any news on this!?  It seems to me that it's not going to happen and that
I'm going to have to roll-back to V2 to get this functionality.

We were letting this request accrue stars to gauge its demand, which clearly exists.
 Thanks for your patience.

I'll update the status of this request soon.

I would love to have this option as well. Thinking about rolling back to V2 :(

+1 Would like to see this as well.

Any update on this.Would really like to have this function.I have followed an
example for doing local search using ajax api.But this has its limitation.Would
really appreciate if this function was available in api v3.

We're aware this is a highly desired feature request and will update this issue when
we have one to provide.  In the meantime, please continuing 'starring' the issue to
stay updated with its progress.

I upgraded my map to api ver 3 and lost the Google search bar and Adsense stuff ().
I am also waiting for this feature.
Thanks

I'm surprised that in spite of the amount of requests here that this has not yet been
done

I have just written my site with maps v3, and today realized that adds are not
supported, so I'll downgrade :(

The status was changed to "acknowledged" last Sep. Is there a timeline for this
implementation?

I'm not specifically interested in the googlebar per se as I found it a bit
troublesome. But I'm am certainly interested in an integrated search feature for
maps, very surprised there isn't one in the api.

I am in the same boat, I took on a google maps mash up project and one requirement
was adsense integration. I have worked with v2 and v3 in the past. I noticed v2 was
officially depreciated so I thought I would start from scratch and update my mootools
classes to draw and plot the marker dynamically AND place the adsense on the map. I
didn't realize however that it is not supported in v3. This surprised my greatly as
maps is so popular and your revenue comes from ads.

A realistic timetable would be greatly appreciated so we all know whether to rollback
or wait.

Thank you.

I'm also waiting for 'ads on maps' for api v3... hurry up Google, we're both losing money!

I guess I should clarify that I want to search 'places'. From addresses, streets, cities, localities, co-ordinates, etc.

It is to say that We can't add search Control into map with V3 api?
Anyone know how to get search result list with V3 api?
Thanks

@arlenxiao, really appreciate your contribution, thanks!

Hi guys, I'm having trouble putting that code in the right place with v3 in the G. Code Playground. Also, should this have "seach" or "search" throughout?
Anyway, if this does work, could someone please post the entire code, not just the search box-related part? Thanks a lot,
se

I also want to have google search bar in version 3.

Ads on v3 map please!  Would love to upgrade to v3, but instead we're building out new features using the v2 API because this feature is still missing.  Hope to see it soon!

This has to happen before walkscore.com can move to the v3 API.

I also really want to have google search bar in version 3.
Can't upgrade to v3...

Monetizing the eyeballs viewing our maps with the Maps Ad Unit of v2 worked well for us. Please bring this functionality to v3! :)

I need the ads on v3 API !!

Thanks Arlenxiao for contribution, anyway i hav not succeed in implementing the code properly, i get a syntax error on the line:
           
content: "<div><font size='2' face='Verdana' color='#000099'>"lat "

Also, darell5020, would you like to share an example with us if you succeeded with the box?

Keep up the good work, y'all!

@rootfood
To get you going, see if it's any help using the following code:

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content : "<B>Search Result</B><br/>"
+ results[0].formatted_address  });

Example here:
http://dmap.com.au/api/demo1/index.html

I'd also like the ad unit functionality restored in V3.

halfway upgrading my code to v3 because v2 was "officially deprecated" since last May, just now finding out about missing adsense unit :( rollback.
please add in v3 asap

the geocoding featured works but I'm not getting the same results retrieved by the google searh bar. I guess it's because geocoding just searches on maps data and excludes other places present in mapmaker or mymap api. Does anybody knows something about it?

GoogleBar: http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-v3-googlebar/wiki/Documentation

Just to be clear, the gmaps-api-v3-googlebar linked by samnissim does NOT support AdSense at this time. It may in the future, but not at this time. So if you're looking for simple search functionality for your map, by all means, check it out. But if you're primarily after the ads revenue, you could add it to that project's issue tracker and see if/when it is implemented.

I've come to the conclusion that Google isn't all that interested in supporting this feature. This work item has been open for a year now with no updates from Google.

Secondly, I can find no option in the Google AdWords Center that allows an advertiser to use this functionality (although it's quite possible I've missed that function).

Lastly, user reports are that the ad block gets in the way of using the map itself. This implies to me that the ad block may be better off the map. However, for an app that is mostly map I don't see what AdSense can use to target ads.

The GoogleBar pulled ads related to whatever query the user entered into the search box. So if you searched for "hotel" near San Fran, CA, for example, it would find ads for hotels in the San Fran area.

Also, in the interest of full disclosure, I am responsible for the gmaps-api-v3-googlebar project. Meant to mention that in my previous comment.

I want the map search like googleMap in v3 api, too!

Look at comment 37. It works.

I really have difficulty understanding how the Google "mind" works. How can you deprecate one API before having made the same, or equivalent, functionality available in the new API?

I started migrating my v2 apps to v3 today. At first everything looked cool, but it wasn't long before I started running into walls of missing functionality. I started searching around and I kept finding "you need to star this or star that." How stupid! If the functionality was available in v2, how can anyone expect a developer to migrate an app to a new API if all the functionality isn't available?

Oh! I've just deprecated car API v2. If you'd like wheels in car API v3, please vote for them, and we'll consider your request. Until then, please use car API v3 without wheels!

Also looking for GAdManager to be added to V3. We are currently forced to use a third-party map ad provider that hasn't been performing very well and that is why are migration to a full Google Maps JS V3 site halted until this is done.

Like to have it in v3 too.

It is becoming apparent that Google is not going to support this feature. For this reason, our family of mapping sites will not upgrade to V3 until it is clear that Google is on our side on this feature.

It is a really a shame, as we have been waiting nearly a year to upgrade our maps, and have had absolutely no support from Google.

Ive started my app directly in V3, but after see that the GAdsManager is in V2, I will downgrade.

Did anybody notice that it seems to be available in pay version http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/premier/ ?

I'm waiting for adsense integration into Google Maps API v3

waiting as well.

soooo... NO movement on this in almost a year and a half.. I guess we can assume that Google is NOT going to make this happen..  Boooooooooooo!

I think someone should confirm from google that this feature is exists on Premier API only, and they don't want to implement in standard API.

I would love to know if this is a Premier only feature.  Thanks!

Maybe one of the new 6000 employees could add it this year ;)

I am also disappointed at Google's slow response to this.  I built my site using V3 and didn't expect this show stopper.

Google, an update would be nice.

I've ditched it now, but one half-baked solution that I came up with was to place a V2 map underneath my V3 map and place the GAdsManager widget on top.

Adsense on v3 maps is finally here!

I realise that this Issue covered by GoogleBar and Maps Ad Unit. However it's important for us to understand the remaining demand for GoogleBar now that we have launched Ad Unit. I'm therefore closing this issue, and request that a Issues be opened for GoogleBar related features and only those developers interested in those features Star them.

Rather than have a blanket "Bring back the GoogleBar" issue It would also be helpful to understand and differentiate between the ways in which the GoogleBar was valuable in v2 and understand the demand for each. These included a simple on map search field for navigation (ie. take me to San Francisco), search over local business listings, and a source of AdSense for Search revenue.

Our site is definitely in the "simple on map search field for navigation" camp. Added issue 3039 for it.

I would like the GoogleBar as a source for AdSense for Search revenue.

an update would be apprciated google, thanks

I would like the ability for users to search my map for places or companies

@comment 62

The AdSense part of the GoogleBar has been integrated into API V3, but not the navigation part of it which is what you're asking for.

Go <a href="http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=3039">to the open issue for on-map navigation</a> and click the Star to let Google know you want it!
