JavaScript - Coordinates In Latlng In Google Maps Api
Hi everyone
In this snippet the addresses stored in address[] is geocoded using google maps API. The problem comes when i try to pass these values on to the array flightPlanCoordinates to create a polyline. Nothing happens. Can anyone tell me why? PS. Im quite new to JS Code: var flightPlanCoordinates = [];
for ( var i=0, len=address.length; i<len; ++i ){
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address[i]}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
flightPlanCoordinates.push(
new google.maps.LatLng(
parseFloat(results[0].geometry.location.lat()),
parseFloat(results[0].geometry.location.lng())
)
);
}
});
}
var flightPath = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: flightPlanCoordinates,
strokeColor: "#000000",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 3
});
flightPath.setMap(map);
Similar TutorialsI search through the forums and google but didn't find anything on this, but I was wondering if anyone was having or has had issues with google maps changing their lat/long coordinates, even when a frozen version is declared? Code: <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.2&sensor=false"></script> In the geocoding portion: Code: geocoder.geocode({'address': query}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var coordinates = results[0].geometry.location;
point.latitude = coordinates['oa'];
point.longitude = coordinates['pa'];
return callback();
} else {
var error = new Object();
error.message = 'We were unable to locate your latitude and longitude. Please check your address and try again.<br />';
error.callback = function(){};
return point.errorHandler(error);
}
});
The coordinates variable keeps changing the key. Originally it was: Code: point.latitude = coordinates['xa']; point.longitude = coordinates['ya']; Then: (and several others) Code: point.latitude = coordinates['sa']; point.longitude = coordinates['ta']; Now: Code: point.latitude = coordinates['oa']; point.longitude = coordinates['pa']; Why if a frozen version is declared, is this still changing? Hi guys, Hopefully a really quick question. I'm a JS novice, and am looking for a way to output the coordinates of a Google maps marker into the value of two text fields, one for latitude and one for longitude. The code below is a simple location search which returns a result with a draggable marker. Currently, the coordinates in both text fields update when the location search is performed, but not when the marker is dragged to a new location afterwards. Does anyone know the code to simply update the coordinates each time the marker is dropped on a new location? Code: <html>

Many thanks in advance, I appreciate anyone who wants to help out! Hi, I'm not sure where I have translated this incorrectly. 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>

I've cut out the script that doesn't relate to this so I hope I haven't missed anything important. I am using jMapping(http://vigetlabs.github.com/jmapping/) for using jQuery with google maps. 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'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"

// Add the latitude/longitude marker to the map

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 categories the markers on my map. I am trying to make it so there are check boxes at the bottom and when i check the boxes, i.e. theatres, the markers will appear for the theatres and disappear when unchecked. Using some example code i have modified, i have so far got the maps to pickup the markers from the xml with the check boxes but the markers are all just on the page and the check boxes dont do anything and I am stuck as to of why. here's my code: Code: <!DOCTYPE HTML>

If anybody help with this and tell me where I am going wrong, it would be much appreciated. thanks 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.

What I want this to do, is then populate two fields on a form one called longitude and one called latitude Code: function usePointFromPostcode(postcode, callbackFunction) {
localSearch.setSearchCompleteCallback(null,
function() {
if (localSearch.results[0]) {
var resultLat = localSearch.results[0].lat;
var resultLng = localSearch.results[0].lng;
var point = new GLatLng(resultLat,resultLng);
callbackFunction(point);
}else{
alert("Postcode not found!");
}
});
localSearch.execute(postcode + ", UK");
}
Any ideas/tips would be be much appreciated 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. My google maps is showing a grey box and no map?! Please help me, I got my code from he http://www.powerhut.co.uk/googlemaps/custom_markers.php and uploaded everything to the right place but it's just grey?! http://79.170.40.235/affordableappli...uk/contact.php 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. 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? I have a working script and I want to add a toogleGroup command (which I have) to the end of the working script so that I can toggle map markers with radio buttons. Probably a simple addition.

Just need to properly add that to the end. I am okay at editing and adapting codes, but I don't know the sytax. Tried JSLINT but still confused. Probably quite simple. Thanks 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) 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 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 I need help making this script output a route on the map on top of the dollar amount it outputs right now. Here is a link to what im working on http://stallionshockey.org/testweb/ Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks, Josh Hello, I'm just beginning to work with javascript and having a heck of a time with the syntax. I've worked with PC's for over 25 years, but my programming skills are weak and rusty. I have a jpg image(s) that I'm trying to get to "overlay" a Google base map and I know I'm so close, but can't figure it out. I've looked at plenty of sample code on Google's code pages, as well as others but I'm missing something. I can send the code if someone could please help. Thanks in advance! Hello i have a problem i need to resolve here is the script Code: script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2.x&key=ABQIAAAAzr2EBOXUKnm_jVnk0OJI7xSosDVG8KKPE1-m51RBrvYughuyMxQ-i1QfUnH94QxWIa6N4U6MouMmBA" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var map = null;
var geocoder = null;
function initialize() {
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(new GLatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), 13);
geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
}
}
function showAddress(address) {
if (geocoder) {
geocoder.getLatLng(
address,
function(point) {
if (!point) {
alert(address + " not found");
} else {
map.setCenter(point, 13);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(address);
}
}
);
}
}
</script>

<body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()">
<form action="#" onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return false">
<p>
<input type="text" size="60" name="address" value="1600 Amphitheatre Pky, Mountain View, CA" />
<input type="submit" value="Go!" />
</p>
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div>
</form>
</body>
its all working well but i need to use it differently. Is there a way to make the form submit automatically , i already have the address and i will <php> it from my database. i want that the map will show in the page as soon as the user clicked on an ad(real estate ad). Basically what we need here is: To know how to call the functions and give the address from the database. <body onload="initialize()" onunload="GUnload()"> <form action="#" onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return false"> <p> <input type="text" size="60" name="address" value="1600 Amphitheatre Pky, Mountain View, CA" /> <input type="submit" value="Go!" /> </p> <div id="map_canvas" style="width: 500px; height: 300px"></div> </form> </body> Is there a way just to use this command without the form onsubmit="showAddress(this.address.value); return false">? And give the address as a variable ? and when the page is uploading it will have already passed the address and the map will show Danny |
