Styled maps allow you to customize or change the style of the standard Google base maps, changing the user interface of such elements as roads, parks, and built-up areas etc.
For api key sign up here:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial#api_key
After you sign up, use the following script tag:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_GOOGLE_API_KEY&sensor=false”></script>
because in live website you will need to include an API key.
For map options see: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MapOptions

$xmlarr = new SimpleXMLElement($xmlstr);
$lat = $xmlarr->result->geometry->location->lat;
