how do I set the location of pegman? - google-maps

I have been trying to find a way to set the location on peg man in google maps via programming instead of dragging and dropping.Is there a way to set the location of pegman on google maps programmatically?


better late than never, but you're looking for the pano function setPosition
setStreetView sets the pano view, but setPosition should place pegman.


May be the below code will be helpful to you :
<!DOCTYPE html>

function initialize() {
var fenway = new google.maps.LatLng(42.345573, -71.098326);
var mapOptions = {
center: fenway,
zoom: 14
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var panoramaOptions = {
position: fenway,
pov: {
heading: 34,
pitch: 10
}
};
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById('pano'), panoramaOptions);
map.setStreetView(panorama);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

Street View Using google api

Hello i m using Google API v 3.0 for showing street view,but street view is not showing for a prticular point but maps.google.com is showing street view for this location. where i m wrong.
My code is below :-
<!DOCTYPE html>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Street View service</title>

html, body, #map-canvas {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp"></script>
<script>
var latitude=null;
var longitude=null;
var fenway;
var map;
var panoramaOptions;
function initialize() {
var value = '950 COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE, MORAGA 94556 ';
alert("value"+value);
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow;
$.ajax({
url:"http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address="+value+"&sensor=false",
type: "POST",
success:function(res){
latitude=res.results[0].geometry.location.lat;
alert("latitude"+latitude);
longitude=res.results[0].geometry.location.lng;
alert("longitude"+longitude);
}
});
fenway = new google.maps.LatLng(latitude,longitude);
var mapOptions = {
center: fenway,
zoom: 14
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var panoramaOptions = {
position: fenway,
pov: {
heading: 34,
pitch: 10
}
};
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById('pano'),panoramaOptions);
map.setStreetView(panorama);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas" style="width: 400px; height: 300px"></div>
<div id="pano" style="position:absolute; left:410px; top: 8px; width: 400px; height: 300px;"></div>

For the street view you can refer to this API https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/streetview/
Here you can change FOV, pitch heading. Hope this helps

Heatmap fusion table only shows 1 latitude longitude point

This is the link to my fusion table of latitude and longitude points: https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=15fqwXO49M-kIOrHVSfE8J4yVsfuD4ySEkZ28494#rows:id=1
I am trying to create a heat map using latitude and longitude points and for some reason only 1 point is displayed.
Here is my code:

Responsive Google Map?

How to make a responsive google map from the code
<div class="map">
<iframe>...</iframe>
</div>
I use in css for full map
.map{max-width:100%;}
and small device
.map{max-width:40%;}
but it didn't work.
Anyone have idea? Thank you.

Add this to your initialize function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
// Resize stuff...
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "resize", function() {
var center = map.getCenter();
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
map.setCenter(center);
});
}
</script>

Adding a 100% to the width and height attributes of its iframe has always worked for me. For example
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.co.in/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=+&q=surat&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Surat,+Gujarat&ll=21.195,72.819444&spn=0.36299,0.676346&t=m&z=11&output=embed"></iframe><br />

A solution without javascript:
HTML:
<div class="google-maps">
<iframe>........//Google Maps Code//..........</iframe>
</div>
CSS:
.google-maps {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 75%; // This is the aspect ratio
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.google-maps iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100% !important;
height: 100% !important;
}
If you have a custom map size, remove the "height: 100% !important"

It's better to use Google Map API.
I've created an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/eugenebolotin/8m1s69e5/1/
Key features are using of functions:
//Full example is here: http://jsfiddle.net/eugenebolotin/8m1s69e5/1/
map.setCenter(map_center);
// Scale map to fit specified points
map.fitBounds(path_bounds);
It handles resize event and automaticaly adjusts size.

in the iframe tag, you can easily add width='100%' instead of the preset value giving to you by the map
like this:
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?anyLocation" width="100%" height="400" frameborder="0" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

Check this for a solution: http://jsfiddle.net/panchroma/5AEEV/
I can't take the credit for the code though, it comes from quick and easy way to make google maps iframe embed responsive.
Good luck!

width:50%;

Here a standard CSS solution + JS for the map's height resizing
CSS
#map_canvas {
width: 100%;
}
JS
// On Resize
$(window).resize(function(){
$('#map_canvas').height($( window ).height());
JsFiddle demo : http://jsfiddle.net/3VKQ8/33/

i think the simplest way will be to add this css and it will work perfectly.
embed, object, iframe{max-width: 100%;}

My Responsive [Solution] Google Map in Foundation 4 Modal
JS
Create an external JavaScript file (i.e. mymap.js) with the following code
google.maps.visualRefresh = true; //Optional
var respMap;
function mymapini() {
var mapPos = new google.maps.LatLng(-0.172175,1.5); //Set the coordinates
var mapOpts = {
zoom: 10, //You can change this according your needs
disableDefaultUI: true, //Disabling UI Controls (Optional)
center: mapPos, //Center the map according coordinates
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
respMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mymap'),
mapOpts);
var mapMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: mapPos,
map: respMap,
title: 'You can put any title'
});
//This centers automatically to the marker even if you resize your window
google.maps.event.addListener(respMap, 'idle', function() {
window.setTimeout(function() {
respMap.panTo(mapPos.getPosition());
}, 250);
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', mymapini);
$("#modalOpen").click(function(){ //Use it like <a href="#" id="modalOpen"...
$("#myModal").show(); //ID from the Modal <div id="myModal">...
google.maps.event.trigger(respMap, 'resize');
});
HTML
Add the following code before the tag:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script src="js/mymap.js"></script>
Add this to the modal code:
<div id="mymap"></div>
CSS
Add this to your stylesheet:
#mymap { margin: 0; padding: 0; width:100%; height: 400px;}

Tried it with CSS, but its never 100% responsive, so I built a pure javascript solution. This one uses jQuery,
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "resize", function() {
var center = map.getCenter();
resizeMap();
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
map.setCenter(center);
});
function resizeMap(){
var h = window.innerHeight;
var w = window.innerWidth;
$("#map_canvas").width(w/2);
$("#map_canvas").height(h-50);
}

My solution based on eugenemail response:
1. HTML - Google Maps API
Get API Key
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap"></script>
2. HTML - Canvas
<div id="map_canvas"></div>
3. CSS - Map canvas
#map_canvas {
height: 400px;
}
4. JavaScript
function initialize() {
var lat = 40.759300;
var lng = -73.985712;
var map_center = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
var mapOptions = {
center: map_center,
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById("map_canvas");
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions);
new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
draggable: false,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng)
});
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', function() {
map.setCenter(map_center);
});
}
initialize();

I am an amateur but I found this worked:
.maps iframe {
position: absolute;
}
body {
padding-top: 40px;
padding-bottom: 820px;
height: available;
}
There may be a bit of whitespace at the bottom but I am satified

Responsive with CSS
You can make the Iframe responsive with the following CSS codes.
.map {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 26.25%;
padding-top: 30px;
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.map iframe,
.map object,
.map embed {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Responsive with JavaScript
This possible through window.resize event and you can apply this on google map like google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', initialize);
Consider the following example:
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 9,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(28.9285745, 77.09149350000007),  
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('location-canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
draggable: false,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(28.9285745, 77.09149350000007)
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', initialize);

GoogleMaps: default streetview image in custom InfoWindow

When I use Google Maps as an anonymous user, when I find a company that I'm building a website for, Google shows me some kind of a default street view photo for that place. It's quite nice and I would like to have this photo appear also in my custom InfoWindow that I'm preparing using API3. Is there a method for that or should I sniff and use its source path?

You can embed the street view panorama like this, or embed a screen capture image in the infowindow contents (<img src="...">) Also you may set the marker visible: false
