JavaScript - Google.maps.geocoder Problem
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var geocoder; var loc; geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); var input = "32.83036,34.974339" var latlngStr = input.split(",",2); var lat = parseFloat(latlngStr[0]); var lng = parseFloat(latlngStr[1]); var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng); geocoder.geocode({'latLng': latlng}, function(results, status) { loc = results[1].formatted_address; }); </script> I need to use that var ("loc") in another place in my code, after the function finished running. Similar TutorialsHi, Not sure where to post this. I currently have a web app which utilises Google Maps & Directions, however some of these maps and directions will be used in pdf creation with tcpdf. The problem arises with the fact that tcpdf doesn't read javascript and therefore cant show the map. Any ideas on what I can do to compensate? I am not familiar with the Google Maps API, but reading through several tutorials and their documentation I have been able to create a basic version of what I need. It is simply a list of places to the right of the map, which can be clicked and will center the map on that location. However, I seem to be unable to use geocoding so that I can use addresses instead of latitude and longitudes. Here's what I have so far: http://www.mpapo.org/testzone/gmaps.html That is the functionality that I need, but I need to be able to use addresses instead of coordinates. I found this script from a tutorial: 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"> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> <title>Google Maps JavaScript API Example</title> <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&key=ADD_YOUR_KEY_HERE" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ var geocoder; var map; var restaurant = "The Old Mohawk Restaurant"; var address = "821 Mohawk Street, Columbus OH"; // On page load, call this function function load() { // Create new map object map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map")); // Create new geocoding object geocoder = new GClientGeocoder(); // Retrieve location information, pass it to addToMap() geocoder.getLocations(address, addToMap); } // This function adds the point to the map function addToMap(response) { // Retrieve the object place = response.Placemark[0]; // Retrieve the latitude and longitude point = new GLatLng(place.Point.coordinates[1], place.Point.coordinates[0]); // Center the map on this point map.setCenter(point, 13); // Create a marker marker = new GMarker(point); // Add the marker to map map.addOverlay(marker); // Add address information to marker marker.openInfoWindowHtml(place.address); } //]]> </script> </head> <body onload="load()" onunload="GUnload()"> <div id="map" style="width: 400px; height: 300px"></div> </body> </html> And it works, but how would I integrate it with the other script? I have tried several times/ways but it always crashes. Any ideas? Hello, I had this working in v2, but I'm migrating to v3 and I'm having some trouble with my sidebar. I think it might be variable scope problem, but I can't find the answer. I have a form which appends entries to an xml file, and my map script imports the xml to create markers and infowindows (all working). Functions to close the infowindow and recenter the map all work as well. It should also display a clickable sidebar with the names of the markers as links. It displays a side bar, but I only get one line which says 'undefined'. Here is my code: Code: var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(); var map = new google.maps.Map(); var side_bar_html = ""; var gmarkers = []; var shortname; var marker; function initialize() { var xmlhttp; if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {// code for IE7+, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari xmlhttp=new XMLHttpRequest(); } else {// code for IE6, IE5 xmlhttp=new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); } xmlhttp.open("GET","rp4.xml",false); xmlhttp.send(); xmlDoc = xmlhttp.responseXML; var markers = xmlDoc.getElementsByTagName("marker"); var point = new google.maps.LatLng(40.8068620, -96.6816790); var myOptions = { /* center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.8068620, -96.6816790), */ center: point, zoom: 4, mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, /* mapTypeControl: True, mapTypeControlOptions: {style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU} */ }; // create the map map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions); function bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infowindow, nfo) { google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() { infowindow.close(); infowindow.setContent(nfo); infowindow.open(map, marker); map.panTo(marker.getPosition()); // map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng); map.setCenter(marker.getPosition()); }); } // document.getElementById("side_bar").innerHTML = side_bar_html; for (var i = 0;i<markers.length;i++) { var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")); var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")); point = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng); shortname = markers[i].getAttribute("company"); var company = markers[i].getElementsByTagName("company")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; var contact = markers[i].getElementsByTagName("contact")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; var str = markers[i].getElementsByTagName("str")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; var city = markers[i].getElementsByTagName("city")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; var phone = markers[i].getElementsByTagName("phone")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; var email = markers[i].getElementsByTagName("email")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; var web = markers[i].getElementsByTagName("web")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; var nfo = "<h1>"+company+"</h1>"+ "<p><b>"+company+"</b><br />"+ contact+"<br />"+ str+"<br />"+ city+"<br />"+ phone+"<br />"+ "<a href='mailto:"+email+"'>"+email+"</a></p>"+ "<a href='http://"+web+"'>"+web+"</a>"; marker = new google.maps.Marker({ position: point, map: map, title: company, clickable: true, }); marker.setMap(map); bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infowindow, nfo); } document.getElementById("side_bar").innerHTML = side_bar_html; } function myclick(k) { google.maps.event.trigger(gmarkers[k], "click"); // save the info we need to use later for the side_bar gmarkers.push(marker); // add a line to the side_bar html side_bar_html += '<a href="javascript:myclick(' + (gmarkers.length-1) + ')">' + shortname + '<\/a><br>'; return marker; } 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> <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 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.

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> <html> <head> <title>Google Maps</title> <script src="mykey"></script> </head> <body style="margin:0px; padding:0px;" onload="initialize()"> <table border=1> <tr> <td> <div id="map" style="width: 550px; height: 450px"></div> </td> <td valign="top" style="width:150px; text-decoration: underline; color: #4444ff;"> <div id="side_bar"></div> </td> </tr> </table> <form action="#"> Theatres: <input type="checkbox" id="theatrebox" onclick="boxclick(this,'theatre')" /> Golf Courses: <input type="checkbox" id="golfbox" onclick="boxclick(this,'golf')" /> Tourist Information: <input type="checkbox" id="infobox" onclick="boxclick(this,'info')" /><br /> </form> <script type="text/javascript"> _uacct = "UA-162157-1"; urchinTracker(); </script> </body> <script type="text/javascript"> //<![CDATA[ if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) { var side_bar_html = ""; var gmarkers = []; var map = null; function createMarker(point,name,html,category) { var marker = new GMarker(point); GEvent.addListener(marker, "click", function() { marker.openInfoWindowHtml(html); }); marker.mycategory = category; marker.myname = name; gmarkers.push(marker); side_bar_html += '<a href="javascript<b></b>:myclick(' + (gmarkers.length-1) + ')">' + name + '<\/a><br>'; return marker; } function show(category) { for (var i=0; i<gmarkers.length; i++) { if (gmarkers[i].mycategory == category) { gmarkers[i].setVisible(true); } } document.getElementById(category+"box").checked = true; } ensures the checkbox is cleared == function hide(category) { for (var i=0; i<gmarkers.length; i++) { if (gmarkers[i].mycategory == category) { gmarkers[i].setVisible(false); } } document.getElementById(category+"box").checked = false; that we just hid infowindow.close(); } function boxclick(box,category) { if (box.checked) { show(category); } else { hide(category); } makeSidebar(); } function myclick(i) { google.maps.event.trigger(gmarkers[i],"click"); } var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map")); map.addControl(new GLargeMapControl()); map.addControl(new GMapTypeControl()); map.setCenter(new GLatLng( 53.8363,-3.03771), 11); GDownloadUrl("categories.xml", function(doc) { var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc); var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker"); for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) { // obtain the attribues of each marker var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")); var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")); var point = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng); var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address"); var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name"); var html = "<b>"+name+"<\/b><p>"+address; var category = markers[i].getAttribute("category"); // create the marker var marker = createMarker(point,name,html,category); map.addOverlay(marker); } document.getElementById("side_bar").innerHTML = side_bar_html; show("theatre"); hide("golf"); hide("info"); }); } else { alert("Sorry, the Google Maps API is not compatible with this browser"); } </script> </body> </html> If anybody help with this and tell me where I am going wrong, it would be much appreciated. thanks 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 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" 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> Hi I have just started looking at the Google maps, and have atutorial that will get the co-ordinates. 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 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!

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! 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) 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'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 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. |
