JavaScript - Google Maps Api, Getting Position Help!
Hey everyone!
I have been fiddling with this for a while now. I cant seem to make anything work. I have tried geocoding services, get position etc. I am sure it can be done so I was hoping someone here may have some experience with the newest API for google maps, V3. In my code below I just have a simple map with a marker.. not important. What I am trying to do is, when you drag the little man to switch the map into streetview, I need to display the current latitude and longitude in some input boxes. This needs to happen in streetview mode though which I have not been able to make happen. Anyone care to lend a few minutes? It must be possible!

When I drag the marker around, the coordinates and closest address don't update. This code works if I add the marker straight in the initialize() function but not when I add it within the addListenerOnce for map click event. I want to be able to add 1 marker to the map, and update its address and coordinates when dragging the marker around. If someone can help me sort this out... Thanks in advance!

I have one google map embedded on my page which works fine. But I wanted to add a second one. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to have a second page which is called later on with all the details on it for the second map. However although I think (this I presume is where I went wrong) I have replicated the instructions correctly the place holder for the second map just remains blank. This is the code for my called page with the instructions for the second map: PHP Code: <?php echo $_POST['Map'] . '<br />'; ?> <div id="placemap_canvas"></div> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <style type="text/css"> html {height:250px} body {height:250px} #placemap_canvas {width:100%; height:150px;} </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true" /> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng ( <?php include("dbconnect.php"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM regions WHERE RegionPId='{$_POST['Map']}'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo $row['maplink']; } mysql_close($con); ?> ); var myOptions = { zoom: 4, center: latlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("placemap_canvas"), myOptions); } </script> And this is the script of the main page, just in case I would be better off keeping them both in one place. Code: <head> <script type="text/javascript"> function loadSubPlace(File,ID,Msg,Eile,EID,Esg){ loadXMLDoc1(File,ID,Msg); var mimer = setTimeout(function(){loadXMLDoc1(Eile,EID,Esg)},5000); } </script> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <style type="text/css"> html {height:250px} body {height:250px} #map_canvas {width:30%; height:250px;} </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true" /> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng ( <?php include("dbconnect.php"); $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM countries WHERE Country='{$_SESSION['Country']}'"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo $row['Map']; } mysql_close($con); ?>); var myOptions = { zoom: 4, center: latlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions); } </script> </head> <body onload="initialize()"> <div class="countryright" id="map_canvas"> include("dbconnect.php"); $snowball=explode(';',$_POST['syringa']); $turnsol=$snowball[1]; $violet =$snowball[2]; $wakerobin=$snowball[3]; global $turnsol; global $violet; global $wakerobin; echo '<center><b><big>' . $wakerobin.

I'm new to javascript and am not sure why this works in firefox and not chrome. I am trying to create a script that keeps an object fixed horizontally while bing positioned absolute vertically. if I replace the toPP variable in document.getElementById('fire').style.top = toPP; with say '50px' it will move the element down 50 pxs, but how I have it currently it doesn't do anything in chrome Code: <script type="text/javascript" > window.onscroll = function() { if( window.XMLHttpRequest ) { var x = 0 -document.documentElement.scrollTop; var toP = String(x); var toPP = toP + "px"; document.getElementById('fire').style.position = 'fixed'; document.getElementById('fire').style.top = toPP; } } </script> Hey all I'm quite a newbie at javascript and I'm trying to have links to google maps markers. I have a page with my embeded google maps on it and some markers. What I'm basically looking to do is have a web page with a menu down the side and when you click the menu items, the google maps markers would pop up on the map. For example, city attractions down a side menu and when you click say restaurants, the markers would pop up the location restaurants in a certain place, then you could click pubs and the restaurant markers would dissapear and the pub markers would appear. Can anyboy help me with this or even direct me to some code that would help. Thanks all. I'm completely at a loss how to embed a map with the new google maps api setup. I found a snippet of code that I dropped in with some small database variables pulled in and was done. Then an error came that the API was no good. So I went in and set up an anaccount, got an api and now I just simply have no clue what their instructions are saying I need to do. Gah! Here's what I originally had: I now have a Client ID, client secret and stuff. But no clue how to set up this url, etc. Code: </script> <script src="//maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=AIzaSyD4iE2xVSpkLLOXoyqT-RuPwURN3ddScAI" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); map.setCenter(new GLatLng(<?php echo $c_row['location_longitude']; ?>,<?php echo $c_row['location_latitude']; ?>), 13); // Add the latitude/longitude marker to the map var point = new GLatLng(<?php echo $c_row['location_longitude']; ?>,<?php echo $c_row['location_latitude']; ?>); map.addOverlay(new GMarker(point)); map.setUIToDefault(); } } </script> <b>Map:<br><br><div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px; z-index:4000;border-width:medium;border-color:#030;"></div></b> Hey I'm quite new at javascript and am currently in the process of creating a site that embeds google maps using an xml document.

What I'm trying to do is add an event listener so that when you click on a marker it will call a function I made within the jMapping function. Does anyone have any clues? everything I've tried doesn't work.
I have some problems with intergrating google maps into my page I cant seem to get a marker to appear on my map. I have tried numerous methods but non seem to work. I have integrated the google maps on my main site, repositioned and re-sized. The code below is a test page i work on to get code to work. It's just a map on a page entire code: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <style type="text/css"> html { height: 100% } body { height: 100%; margin: 25px; padding: 25px } #map_canvas { height: 100% } </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDrxZnpYBNIwzBFVYaDY__BMONEjNEGZaI&sensor=false"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922); var myOptions = { zoom: 4, center: myLatlng, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP } var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);} var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: myLatlng, map: map, title:"Hello World!" }); </script> </head> <body onload="initialize()"> <div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div> </body> </html> can anybody tell my where i am going wrong and just the map appears with no marker? thanks Hi I have just started looking at the Google maps, and have atutorial that will get the co-ordinates.

I would like to update the markers and info windows using an XML database. I know how to parse the XML using PHP if I was just going to create a table on the page, but for the life of me I can't find a complete and simple description of how to do it with javascript. I've been reading tutorials and W3 schools reference for over a week trying to figure it out. I'm new to javascipt, so some of the stuff I don't really understand. I did find a similar question posted on this forum, although I can't get it working. Here is my code (note: this code doesn't work, I know that I'm missing some way to load the xml and parse it, but I don't see how its done): Code: <!!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" /> <style type="text/css"> html { height: 100% } body { height: 80%; width: 80%; margin: 0px; padding: 0px } #map_canvas { height: 80% } </style> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"> </script> <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var myOptions = { zoom: 4, center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.8068620, -96.6816790), mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions); } google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize); var bounds = new GLatLngBounds(); for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) { var company = markers[i].getAttribute('company'); var street = markers[i].getAttribute{'street'); var city = markers[i].getAttribute{'city'}' var state = markers[i].getAttribute{'state'); var zip = markers[i].getAttribute{'zip'); var point = new GLatLng(parseFloat{markers[i].getAttribute{'lat')), parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute('lng'))); var marker = createMarker(point, company, street, city, state, zip, map.addOverlay(marker); function createMarker(point, company, street, city, state, zip) { var marker = new GMarker(point); var html; GEvent.addlistener(marker, 'click', function() { marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); }); return marker; } </script> </head> <body> <div id="map_canvas"></div> </body> </html> The XML is set up like this: Code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <rp> <partner company="nameofcompany1" short="name1" street="123 fake street" city="New York" state="New York" zip="12345" lat="52.45545612" lng="-0.52664" /> <partner company="nameofcompany2" short=name2" street="231 notreal street" city="Chicago" state="IL" zip="23456" lat="55.45646" lng="-0.895423" /> </rp> I'm not really concerned with geocoding using the code, the number of entries shouldn't be more than a couple dozen, and I won't be adding a bunch at a single time. I was able to get the map working how I would like it, with multiple infowindows and markers, but I was having to put each into the code manually, with unique variables for each marker and info window. It seems like there is a much cleaner way to do this. If anyone can help me, it would be much appreciated.

I am okay at editing and adapting codes, but I don't know the sytax. Tried JSLINT but still confused. Probably quite simple. Thanks Hello! I'm developing a small application with Google Maps API for use in Wordpress and didn't want to place all the javascript into the Worpress page template file. But whenever I place the javascript that works fine in page tempalte into separate javascript file in Wordpress, all of the code using Google Maps API except the code that runs Maps itself stops working. So the Maps runs but for example Geocoder does not. I'm simulatenously using Google's jQuery API. I hope someone has experience with this and can help me. hello all, what i would like to implement is the following : http://mon.grnet.gr/network/maps/lite/?load&ip but, the problem is that, although the numerical data that show the traffic volume passing through a link are available to me, i do not have clue on how i can display them onto the map ... ? i would be thankful, if you could give me a piece of advice. We got a google maps with a bunch of pins. Each pin is setup to use our blue custom icon image. I'm trying to make it so that when you click on a pin, that particular pin changes to a green version of the icon, and all the reset stay blue. If the user clicks another pin, it turns green and the previous goes back to blue. Basicly only the clicked active pin should be green. Code: google.maps.event.addListener(markers[indx], 'click', function() { this.setIcon("/images/greenmarker.png"); }); Here is my code so far that will change the clicked pin into a green version. My problem is all attempts to change all pins back to blue prior to changing this clicked pin to green fails bad. Anyone know how to do this or point me in the right direction? Hey all, I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a problem I've been having. I'm attempting to find coordinates for several addresses at a time. I'm using a for-loop to loop through an array of addresses. I figured it would be best to have a separate function to evaluate the coordinate given an address, and just call it in every loop. Note that my code below is simplified (I removed the for loop because that's not where I'm having trouble). I know that the issue is probably because I'm trying to return a value from an anonymous function... I tried making the variable global, I tried having a return line from within the anonymous function, nothing has worked... any tips? Thanks -- Code follows Code: function initialize(){ var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); // creating a new geocode object var locCood = findcood('44106', geocoder); } function findcood(addr, geocoder) { var cood; if (geocoder) { geocoder.geocode({'address': addr}, function(results, status, cood){ if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) cood = results[0].geometry.location; else { cood = null; alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status); } }); } else { alert("No Geocode"); cood = null; } alert(cood); return cood; } Hi, I'm making a javascript with google maps API. The concept is that you have to fill in your desired location and that it shows you the route to that location. It has an unchangeable starting location. I also made it so that you have a description panel. Now when I try to make it so that the description panel is next to the map with the route on, my description panel just drops below my map. I believe this problem is either me f*cking up my div's or my CSS. Here's what i used for my CSS <style type="text/css"> html, body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0; } #map_canvas { height: 100%; width: 70% } #directionsPanel { float:right; width:30%; height 100% } @media print { html, body { height: auto; } #map_canvas { height: 650px; } } </style> And here's what i used for my div's <div id="main" style="width:100%;height:100%"> <div id="map_canvas" style="top:30px;width:70%;height:80%"></div> <div id="warnings_panel" style="width:100%;height:10%;text-align:center"></div> <div id="directionsPanel" style="float:right;width:30%;height 100%"></div> </div> Any help regarding this would be much appreciated. (And yes, I'm still new to scriptwriting/coding in general) |
