Thanks for your time!

Map is reserved word in EcmaScript, so you shouldn't use it as a variable name: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Map
The problem is this line (jsfiddle thinks Map is read only):
Map = null;
Rename your map variable to something else (like map, with a lower case "m").

This is a problem with the weekly version of maps this week. I changed:
...//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key....
to
...//maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.34&key...
the first path server the weekly version of maps which is default.
I chose it to set the version to 3.34 which worked fine. I could have chosen a quarterly version which would update automatically to the version of the current quarter(it would automatically update next quarter) by inserting v=quarterly. Either way the 3.34 fixed my issues.

Collaborative Realtime Mapping with Firebase Heatmap not working

I tried the tutorial from this place.
When I get at the heatmap part it doesn't draw the map anymore.
I guess I must be doing something wrong but I have no clue...
The moment I remove the comments from icon: image part I'll get a map drawn,
but the heatmap part isn't working.
I hope that somebody can help me

How can i add google map to a component that is using sightly?

I have a component called foo
I have foo.html in apps/foo/components/content/foo/foo.html
currently this file contains the following.
<div data-sly-use.ev="Foo"
class="${ev.cssClass || ''}"
title="${ev.title || ''}"
data-emptytext="Foo Asset">
${ev.html # context='unsafe'}</div>
I have Foo.java in apps/foo/components/content/foo/Foo.java
that has getCssClass(), getTitle(), getHtml() needed by foo.html.
The above works fine
Question
When the user adds this component to the page, I want it to include a google map in the page. The lat/long to the google map will be provided by Foo.java#getLat() and Foo.java#getLong()
How can I do this?
I have the google map working in an HTML outside of AEM and the code is pretty simple:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#map-canvas {
width: 500px;
height: 400px;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);
var mapOptions = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions)
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title: 'Hello World!'
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
the lat/long values for myLatlng variable in the above javascript will need to come from Foo.java.
If you want to pass parameters to a script you can do as they generally do in Coral UI via data-xxx attributes in the Sightly script.
Set the property from your Foo into a data attribute in some DIV you will later fetch in JS.
Get the div in JS via its ID and obtain the data attributes you are interested in.
Example:
Sightly
<div id="map_canvas" data-lat="${ev.lat}" data-long="${ev.long}">
</div>
Javascript
this.mapCanvas = document.getElementsByClassName("map_canvas")[0];
var lat = $mapCanvas.data("lat");
var long = $mapCanvas.data("long");
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,long);
I hope this helps! :)

How to show my office location using Google Maps JavaScript API v3

I have already pointed my office location in google map.
Also I created API key.
Now i using embeded code to show google map location in my contact page.
I want to replace the same with AP key.
How to show my office location using Google Maps JavaScript API v3.
Following is my test.html page for checking the map. Which parts need to modify to show my location ?
You can see my location in below url

</style>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=my key already added here">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: { lat: -9.959238, lng: 76.275271},
zoom: 8
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
Sounds like you want to add a marker
Code below is for your initialize function based on the docs but w/ your Lat,Lon and zoom level.
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(9.965156,76.290034);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: myLatlng
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
// To add the marker to the map, use the 'map' property
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title:"Hello World"
});
The marker's title (i.e. "Hello World" in the example above) will appear as a tooltip. If you don't want a tooltip, you can remove that line.

How to get the state of a marker?

I am using the the Google Maps JavaScript API v3. I have a map that has markers on each state. When I click the state marker, I need access to the state abbreviation in the callback function. Is there any way native to google maps that I can access the state of a marker?
google.maps.event.addListener(mark,'click',function(event){
// how can I access the state abbreviation (e.g. 'MO') from in here?
}
I know that I can probably accomplish this via reverse geocoding, but is there any simpler (and less error-prone) way?
If this can only be accomplished using reverse geocoding, what is the simplest code to access the state? I assume my code would look something like this:
google.maps.event.addListener(mark,'click',function(event){
geocoder.geocode({'latLng': event.latLng}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
... get state from results ...
}
}
}
What would be the simplest code to get the state from the results? Based on the documentation of the address component types, I assume I would be looking for the "short_name" of the "administrative_area_level_1". Is this correct? Is there an easier way to access it than looping over the results until I find the "administrative_area_level_1"? (I have jquery included on the page and so can code with it if it makes anything simpler)
Here's a working example:

Google Maps API v3: Gray Box, no map

As part of a much bigger project, we're trying to get a Map on a site using Google's Map API v3. I have followed the simplest steps that Google has laid out, I've tried copying code outright from other working maps. But no matter what I do, all we get is a gray box and no map.
Using Firebug, I can see the information trying to populate the map, but it is simply not displaying. I've tried jquery, jquery libraries specifically made for google maps, nothing is working. I have been up and down the internet and all through google's api help files. Plus, the problem is not local as I've uploaded the file to multiple servers and tested it on multiple browsers and computers. Nothing is working.
At this point it's got to be something stupid that I'm overlooking. Here's my code.
<!DOCTYPE html>

<script type="text/javascript">
function load()
{
var mapDiv = document.getElementById("map");
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644);
var mapOptions =
{
//zoom: 8,
center:latlng,
//backgroundColor: '#ff0000',
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
imageDefaultUI: true
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, mapOptions);
function createMarker(point, text, title)
{
var marker =
new GMarker(point,{title:title});
return marker;
}
}
</script>

<body onload="load()">
<div id="map" style="width: 800px; height: 400px;"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
This works for me. You simply have to set zoom parameter:
UPDATE (by #user2652379): You need to set BOTH zoom and center options. Just zoom does not work.

Another case is when map container is hidden at the moment you initialize the map. E.g. you are doing it inside bootstrap show.bs.modal event, instead of shown.bs.modal
I had the same issue and came across a lot of topics on stackoverflow but none of them had the working solution for me. I eventually found out it was caused to a line of css I had added.
All the elements in the map inherited a
overflow:hidden;
By adding the following line to my CSS it was fixed
#map * {
overflow:visible;
}
I would like to add a quick comment to this since I had the same problem with the zoom parameter set.
I found out that the problem was my theme's css. In my base theme I had the following CSS:
img, embed, object, video {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
}
This messed up the rendering of the map and after I removed it, my map renders just fine.
Also beware of having an invalid latitude or longitude value for the map center or your markers. For example, this fiddle shows the Grey Map Of Death because the map center is at latitude 131.044 which is invalid (not from +90:-90).
function initMap() {
var uluru = {lat: 131.044, lng: -25.363};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: uluru
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: uluru,
map: map
});
}
In my case, I was working on a map with vue and a modal in the iview library; and during the first render it worked, but any other render displayed the grey screen of death. I fixed the issue by setting a timeout function to display the map after 50 ms to give the modal enough time to render and be visible.
//Time out is crucial for the map to load when opened with vue
setTimeout(() => {
this.showMap(id);
}, 50);
The above example was an earlier fix and a quick hack, i have realized all you need to do is wait for the next tick, on vue you can achieve this by
async mounted(){
await this.$nextTick()
this.showMap(id)
}
or if you are not comfortable with async await you can try the callback option
mounted(){
Vue.nextTick(function () {
this.showMap(id)
})
}
I had the same issue. i was using google maps in Jquery Accordion and when i expand the div the map only consisted a grayed area. I was able to solve this issue by triggering a click event on the specified accordion heading and setting the map container to visible.
Script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
function initMap(lat, lng) {
var myCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
center: myCenter
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), mapOptions);
}
function ViewMap() {
var latlng = document.getElementById('<%=txt.ClientID%>').value.split(','); // This is where my latlng are placed: 25.12312,55.3212333
$("#showmap").show();
// Sorry for mixing up Jquery and javascript.
initMap(latlng[0], latlng[1]);
}
</script>
ASPX File/Html Markup:
<h3 id="lMap" onclick="ViewMap();"><i class="fa fa-map-o" onclick="ViewMap();"></i>Location Map</h3>
<div style="height:auto" id="showmap">
<div id="map" style="width: 850px; height: 550px; overflow: visible"></div>
</div>
I realise this is an old thread, but this may help someone in the future.
Struggled with this for hours, but after discovering that the Google Map is rendered with a grey box overlay if the map is rendered while not being visible, I used a bit of jQuery to make my application only instantiate and render the map if the map is visible, like such:
if ($("#myHomeMapHolder").is(":visible")) {
if (homemap == null) {
homemap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("myHomeMapHolder"), myOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(homemap, 'click', function (event) {
placeHomeMarker(event.latLng);
});
} else {
homemap.setCenter(myLatlng);
}
if (homemarker == null) {
homemarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: homemap,
title: "Home"
});
} else {
homemarker.setPosition(myLatlng);
}
}
And voila, my map is only rendered if the map holder is visible, so it never renders with a grey box.
For anyone wondering, myHomeMapHolder is a div which the map sits inside.
In my case, someone had dropped this little prize in some responsive.css file:
img {
max-width: 100% !important;
}
Removed that and all is fine now.
I had this issue with a site I'm working on too. We're doing some things to all <img> tags for responsiveness. This fix is working for us for the map:
img {max-width: initial !important;}
For those who might be stuck regardless of the nice solutions provided here, try setting the height and width of your container directly in the html markup instead of a stylesheet ie.
<div id="map-container" style="width: 100%; height: 300px;"></div>
happy mapping!
This may not be the case for everyone, but maybe it can help someone.
I was creating markers in my map from data attributes placed on the map element like this: data-1-lat="2" data-1-lon="3" data-text="foo". I was putting them in an array based on the order they were placed in the data attributes.
The problem is that IE and Edge (for some mad reason) invert the order of the data attributes in the HTML tag, therefore I wasn't able to correctly extract them from the data attributes.
None of the existing answers helped me because my problem was that Apollo was adding extra properties ("__typename" fields) to my MapOptions object.
In other words, the JSON looked like this:
mapOptions {"__typename":"MapOptions","center":{"__typename":"GeoCoordinates","lat":33.953056,"lng":-83.9925},"zoom":10}
Once I realized that those extra properties were problematic, this is how I solved it (using TypeScript):
function getCleanedMapOptions(mapOptionsGql: google.maps.MapOptions): google.maps.MapOptions {
const mapOptions = { ...mapOptionsGql };
const lat: number = mapOptions.center.lat as number;
const lng: number = mapOptions.center.lng as number;
const mapOptionsCleaned = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng({ lat, lng }),
zoom: mapOptions.zoom,
};
return mapOptionsCleaned;
}
export function createMap(mapOptions: google.maps.MapOptions): google.maps.Map {
const mapOptionsCleaned = getCleanedMapOptions(mapOptions);
const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map') as HTMLElement, mapOptionsCleaned);
return map;
}
In my case (version is 3.30 when submitting this), it was because the div id MUST be "map"
<div id="map"></div>
...
document.getElementById("map")
