i have a question. My website has link Show on Map that points to custom google map. That custom google map has 30ish markers, and when you click link from website, it opens that map, and focuses corresponding marker there. So you use show on map for marker 1, custom map opens and focuses marker 1 with info bubble.
link is here
Show on map
link to map
Now, since i need to replicate that Google Map because i dont have acess to it anymore, i am wondering how to get link to certain marker? Since website doesnt have any javascript or anything regarding Goolge Maps, are those links hardcoded on custom map in source code or something? Since i know iwloc and coordiantes change on links.. But on source code of that custom map iwloc is same on 3-4 ocurrances in page.
Any help is welcome. I tryed to search here but everyone makes some javascript solution. I want it to be like now... only link to that marker. Thanks
Open the specific map, open the desired infoWindow(by clicking on the marker or on an item in the sidebar) and then copy the short URL that will be shown when you click the share-button(in the top-right corner of the sidebar)

I'm fairly new to working with Google Maps API. When embedding a map you get the place and a white box in the top right hand corner with a little information on the place. However I want to use the JavaScript API and want to know is there anyway to replicate this with the JavaScript API and not the iframe embed.
Thanks.
Basically to display the information you would need to use the infoWindow, yes. You can attach an infoWindow to either a marker or directly to map co-ordinates. In depth documentation about infoWindow and detailed references can be found here.
I need to create iframe Google Maps that I can embed on a site with a custom marker that would be the companies logo.
Once the marker is clicked, it should show a dialog with custom information instead of Google's default information with an address etc. I would like to modify it so it shows some information about the business. Just like the one that can be seen here: http://ekogaze.lv/kontakti.html
Thank you.
Creating custom marker can be found here.
Adding custom information can be done by updating values in the marker div.
I have google maps embedded in my website. Its has markers and when clicked, it displays the property information at the position. (infobox).
Now the user wants the following functionality:
I search for a place , the map displays the place with properties. After I drag the map and get some other property, I would like to share this one to some body. can I get a link
to share the dragged position?
I know we can get the link in maps.google.com . It changes whenever we drag.
But how to do it in our website?
Is there a way in google maps api to get that link?
Listen to events on the Map
The idle event is particully useful, but can use say bounds_changed to get events while dragging (or even the drag event itself!).
In that event update whatever link you are talking about.
I have a bunch of markers displayed on the map and I want to provide a list of navigation links for them outside the map (one link for one marker). When I click on a link, I want the marker to be centered in the map and get its infowindow displayed.
Can anyone help me?
Here is may be your need and want.
The Google map info window will not appear when I click on a marker using the iphone. The same code works on the desktop on Android.
I need the map hidden by default and then loaded in only when the user clicks the view map button as I want to keep the weight of the page down as this is for a mobile site.
The click event handler is being fired as I put an alert on it and it worked. I think it might be something to do with the order of the code when I attacked the click handlers, but thats a guess. Also, when I add draggable: true to the markers the bubble appears but I dont want the markers to be draggable.
I have set up a test page http://www.clawg.co.uk/nearby/testmap.html
A run through of this is:
I scan the DOM for data attributes values which I use to create an array of data that will be used for info windows.
I create a button on the fly that will make the map appear when clicked
When the button is clicked the map api is loaded in if its not already available
The map is then loaded
The markers are positioned on the map
The default marker icons are too small for iphone 4 making them unclickable, so I used a custom marker that was 42x42 in size.
