How it works
In Google Maps, square pins are typically adverts.
Advertisers pay Google to promote these locations.
Without this feature, the project wouldn't exist.
They have 2 types of ads:
With Promo
Without Promo

| Parse location ads | python3 locadsparser.py example.json |
| Find ads for location | python3 locadsgetter.py 40.7127837 -74.00594130000002 |

Browser Support
We also ported LPAds to JavaScript! To include in your site, add in your html file:
<script src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Crawlerop/lpads/main/lpadsjs/mapads.js" crossorigin=""></script>
If you want the examples, please click here
We also have included the editor, please click the pencil button to start editing the ads. For advanced features, append &init=base64(script) and &event=base64(script). Where init script parameter is run on startup, and event script parameter is run on ad parsing. The typical script looks something like:
function (ad) { if (ad.adName.search("eggs") != -1) { ad.adName = "spam" } return ad }
It only override the ad if the resulting event function is NOT null.
Tracking
Locational ads depends on your interests. So ads may very on different account you are using.
You can opt out these ads by visiting adssettings.google.com.
