JavaScript - Multiple Co-ordinates On Google Maps
Hi coding world!
I am having some serious issues with getting multiple sets of coordinates to appear on google maps on my website. I have many items stored in a database, and each row has a field for latitude and a field for longitude. I get the data like this: PHP Code: $getdeals = "SELECT * FROM deals WHERE cityid='$cityid'"; $result = mysql_query($getdeals); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ $title = $row['title']; $lat = $row['lat']; $lng = $row['lng']; //THIS IS WHERE I THINK I WOULD TRY TO ADD THE POINT TO THE MAP } If anybody could steer me in the right direction that would be amazing!! Thanks! Similar TutorialsHi guys. I have posted about this before on here but I'm still having a lot of issues. MY GOAL - I have a database with a bunch of items and each has latitude, longitude and a category (all the items are within 1 city). I want to have a page that will show a google map, display a marker based on the lat/lng and the image of the marker should be customized based on the category of the row. For example, some rows have a 'food' category and some have a 'health' category - I have specific images I want displayed for each image. I need a script that will plot a marker for each item in my db. I have never used Google maps API before and I'm thinking V3 is what I need to use. Can someone help fill in the code below? PHP Code: $query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table"); while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)){ $lat=$row['lat']; $lng=$row['lng']; $category=$row['category']; //SET MARKER PICTURE TO $category //ADD MARKER TO MAP } Can anybody help out with the code? I don't know javascript that well and I have tried about 40 different things and get nothing but a blank page! THANK YOU SO MUCH Hello, I am trying to create multiple google maps with multiple directions that load on one page. I have tried duplicating the var and function names but I haven't been able to get it to work. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! -Topianno Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Google Maps JavaScript API Example: Advanced Directions</title> <script src=" http://maps.google.com/?file=api&v=2.x&key=ABQIAAAAzr2EBOXUKnm_jVnk0OJI7xSosDVG8KKPE1-m51RBrvYughuyMxQ-i1QfUnH94QxWIa6N4U6MouMmBA" type="text/javascript"></script> <style type="text/css"> body { font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans serif; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px; } table.directions th { background-color:#EEEEEE; } img { color: #000000; } </style> <script type="text/javascript"> var map; var map2; var gdir; var gdir2; var geocoder = null; var geocoder2 = null; var addressMarker; var addressMarker2; function initialize() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas")); gdir = new GDirections(map, document.getElementById("directions")); GEvent.addListener(gdir, "load", onGDirectionsLoad); GEvent.addListener(gdir, "error", handleErrors); setDirections("San Francisco", "Mountain View", "en_US"); setDirections2("San Francisco", "Mountain View", "en_US"); } } function setDirections(fromAddress, toAddress, locale) { gdir.load("from: " + fromAddress + " to: " + toAddress, { "locale": locale }); } function handleErrors(){ if (gdir.getStatus().code == G_GEO_UNKNOWN_ADDRESS) alert("No corresponding geographic location could be found for one of the specified addresses.

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 am using jMapping(http://vigetlabs.github.com/jmapping/) for using jQuery with google maps.

Does anyone have any clues? everything I've tried doesn't work.
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.

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 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 Hello, I am working on creating a map using the google maps API. 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'm trying to make a map that will show your current location, but also load an xml file to show certain attractions in your area. I have the code to work for getting your current location, but I can't figure out how to implement loading the xml file and placing markers based off of that xml file. Here is the code for getting my location: Code: function show_position(p) { document.getElementById('current').innerHTML="latitude="+p.coords.latitude.toFixed(2)+" longitude="+p.coords.longitude.toFixed(2); var pos=new google.maps.LatLng(p.coords.latitude,p.coords.longitude); map.setCenter(pos); map.setZoom(14); var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({ content: "<strong>yes</strong>" }); var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: pos, map: map, title:"You are here" }); google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() { infowindow.open(map,marker); }); } </script > Can anybody help me figure this out? Thank you in advance 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) 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 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!

WORKING CODE: Code: //<![CDATA[ var iconPink = new GIcon(); iconPink.image = 'http://www.golfinggreys.com/img/ggmap_icon_attraction.png'; iconPink.shadow = ''; iconPink.iconSize = new GSize(24, 31); iconPink.shadowSize = new GSize(0, 0); iconPink.iconAnchor = new GPoint(11, 30); iconPink.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1); var iconOrange = new GIcon(); iconOrange.image = 'http://www.golfinggreys.com/img/ggmap_icon_accomm.png'; iconOrange.shadow = ''; iconOrange.iconSize = new GSize(24, 31); iconOrange.shadowSize = new GSize(0, 0); iconOrange.iconAnchor = new GPoint(11, 30); iconOrange.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1); var iconPurple = new GIcon(); iconPurple.image = 'http://www.golfinggreys.com/img/ggmap_icon_dining.png'; iconPurple.shadow = ''; iconPurple.iconSize = new GSize(24, 31); iconPurple.shadowSize = new GSize(0, 0); iconPurple.iconAnchor = new GPoint(11, 30); iconPurple.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1); var iconGreen = new GIcon(); iconGreen.image = 'http://www.golfinggreys.com/img/ggmap_icon_golf.png'; iconGreen.shadow = ''; iconGreen.iconSize = new GSize(24, 31); iconGreen.shadowSize = new GSize(0, 0); iconGreen.iconAnchor = new GPoint(11, 30); iconGreen.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1); var iconRed = new GIcon(); iconRed.image = 'http://www.golfinggreys.com/img/ggmap_icon_golfr.png'; iconRed.shadow = ''; iconRed.iconSize = new GSize(24, 31); iconRed.shadowSize = new GSize(0, 0); iconRed.iconAnchor = new GPoint(11, 30); iconRed.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1); var iconGrey = new GIcon(); iconGrey.image = 'http://www.golfinggreys.com/img/ggmap_icon_services.png'; iconGrey.shadow = ''; iconGrey.iconSize = new GSize(24, 31); iconGrey.shadowSize = new GSize(0, 0); iconGrey.iconAnchor = new GPoint(11, 30); iconGrey.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1); var iconBlue = new GIcon(); iconBlue.image = 'http://www.golfinggreys.com/img/ggmap_icon_shopping.png'; iconBlue.shadow = ''; iconBlue.iconSize = new GSize(24, 31); iconBlue.shadowSize = new GSize(0, 0); iconBlue.iconAnchor = new GPoint(11, 30); iconBlue.infoWindowAnchor = new GPoint(5, 1); var customIcons = []; customIcons["attraction"] = iconPink; customIcons["accomm"] = iconOrange; customIcons["dining"] = iconPurple; customIcons["golf"] = iconGreen; customIcons["golfr"] = iconRed; customIcons["services"] = iconGrey; customIcons["shopping"] = iconBlue; var markerGroups = { "attraction": [], "accomm": [], "dining": [], "golf": [], "golfr": [], "services": [], "shopping": []}; function load() { if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var i = 0; // Create the map // Make sure this element has the same ID as your div map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("googlemap")); // Add controls for moving and zooming the map.

I am okay at editing and adapting codes, but I don't know the sytax. Tried JSLINT but still confused. Probably quite simple. Thanks 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; } I have a google static map which I spent ages trying to work out what to put in it and now it will not work, or be valid, so I am doing something wrong? Can anyone help Have I set it out the right way, I know it is static but it is still JS I believe. Code: <p><img alt="google_static_map" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=51.454863,0.011673&zoom=13&markers=United+Reformed+Church,+111+Burnt+Ash+Road,++Lee,+London+SE12+8RG,+UK&size=250x250&sensor=TRUE /></a></p> DO I need to put in it a div? I cant do iframes. My editor does not like it at all and it is not showing on the website. I am using XHTML Hi, Not sure how difficult this will be but im working on a javascript/HTML5 game, and thought it would be interesting to allow for people to add their score to a google map at their location. I can get the google map and allow people to add their own markers but i dont no how i would store them, and then reload them when someone plays the game. any ideas? Thanks, Luke |
