Multiple Google Maps on Same Page from Mysql? - mysql

I have a page that a user inputs markers on a google map and it saves the center of map latitude and longitude, zoom and the latitude and longitude of the marker into MySQL. Next I'm trying to have a page that displays all the different maps a user has saved with the markers. I have searched and all I can find is how to display multiple markers on the same map or a set number of maps on the same page with a set lat and long.
Could anybody suggest where to start with this or a tutorial on this.
Here is the code I've started with that displays one google map with all the markers that have been entered. Not familiar with javascript, so need pointed in the right direction.
Thanks

Show User location on google maps

First thing is I will tell you I am new to google maps and some of it is very confusing to me. What I need to do is show a users location and have the appropriate markers show up. I have the database all ready and somewhat of the Google map.
What I am working with is an example from here. What I can either get is the markers if I use a static LatLng or just the users dynamic location with no markers.
Need help please. And if you downvote this post please let me know why.
Code I am using can be found at https://jsfiddle.net/8q1apmdy/9/ and show where in the blow code is where I am missing something, most likely small or in the wrong position.
function initMap() {
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition((position) => {
var pos = {
lat: position.coords.latitude,
lng: position.coords.longitude
};
});
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: pos,
zoom: 12
});
}
a) While running your code locally, I was getting 'pos' undefined, so I moved the following code 'var map = new google.maps.Map(..' inside the getCurrentPosition(){...
b) Then I got another error ' InvalidValueError: setMap: not an instance of Map;' so created a 'var map' globally.
Loaded the map successfully, but still markers were not loaded. while debugging your code at this point 'var marker = new google.maps.Marker({...' it is iterating for all markers from xml but somehow markers are not adding to the map..dont know the reason yet?
So I have tried in a different way. Please see all markers from xml displayed on map. Here I am just getting the 'name' in marker, you might need to add other parameters like id, address etc.

Google Maps API - Clustering Issue

I am trying to add clustering to my already working map. However, after multiple attempts I am unable to understand why the clusters do not show. I am wondering if there is either a conflict within the code or if the clustering does not work well with the infowindows or listeners on the map. If at all possible, could you please look through this code and see if you notice any red flags. Much appreciated and thank you in advance!

If there is any other information that could help answer this question please let me know and I can try my best to provide that information. Thank you!
It's look like a images problem.
On the code, you have the imagePath point to folder called "images", and icons (cluster) must name "m1.png", "m2.png", ..., "m5.png". Check if that exist.

You need to pass the custom icon into the createMarker function:

var marker = createMarker(point, country + " " + id, html, marker_image);
updated createMarker function:
// A function to create the marker and set up the event window function

Custom Google Maps Markers and Infowindow

I want to create a google map in which the markers I want to show are coming from database and the infowindow data comes from database as well which is different for each marker obviously. Code that I am using now is:
<script type="text/javascript">
var delay = 100;
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(21.0000, 78.0000);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 5,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
function geocodeAddress(address, next) {
geocoder.geocode({address:address}, function (results,status){
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var p = results[0].geometry.location;
var lat=p.lat();
var lng=p.lng();
createMarker(address,lat,lng);
}else {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OVER_QUERY_LIMIT) {
nextAddress--;
delay++;
} else {}
}
next();
});
}
function createMarker(add,lat,lng) {
var contentString = add;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng),
map: map
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(contentString);
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
bounds.extend(marker.position);
}
<?php
global $wpdb;
$results = $wpdb->get_results("select * from $wpdb->postmeta where meta_value = 'Canada'");
$num_rows = $wpdb->num_rows;
?>
var locations = [
<?php foreach ($results as $doc_meta_data) {
echo "'";// . $doc_meta_data->meta_id;

echo get_post_meta($doc_meta_data->post_id, 'state', true).",";
echo get_post_meta($doc_meta_data->post_id, 'country', true);

}?>
];
var nextAddress = 0;
function theNext() {
if (nextAddress < locations.length) {
setTimeout('geocodeAddress("'+locations[nextAddress]+'",theNext)', delay);
nextAddress++;

How can I add make each markers info dynamic ie, it should come from the admin panel.
URL:http://intigateqatar.com/ozone/find-a-doc/
You need to create infowindow in createMarker() function in order infowindows to be unique for each marker:
function createMarker(add,lat,lng) {
var contentString = add;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng),
map: map
});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: contentString
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
bounds.extend(marker.position);
}
The InfoWindow's on the linked page have dynamic content(currently the address), I guess you don't need the address as content.
Currently the locations-array has the following structure.
[address1,address2,address3,....]
Request the infos and create an array with this structure:
[[address1,info1],[address2,info2],[address3,info3],....]
Change geocodeAddress() into the following:
function geocodeAddress(details, next) {
//details[0] is the address, pass it as address-property to geocode
geocoder.geocode({address:details[0]}, function (results,status){
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var p = results[0].geometry.location;
var lat=p.lat();
var lng=p.lng();
//details[1] is the info fetched from the DB,
//pass it as add-argument to createMarker()
createMarker(details[1],lat,lng);
}else {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OVER_QUERY_LIMIT) {
nextAddress--;
delay++;
} else {}
}
next();
});
}
Note: echoing the single variables is not a good idea , a single-quote in either address(or the info) will result in a script-error(and there are more critical characters, e.g. linebreaks).
Populate a PHP-array with the values and use json_encode() to print the array.

Trouble clearing overlay when i reload a new set of markers in gmaps

I have a gmap and I only want to display markers in the viewable area. I have added a listener to get the bounds of the map and call gather the markers within the bounds. the problem is that when i bounds change, i want to clear the map and reload with the updated markers. currently the map will just continue to reload the markers on top of each other which makes the map extremely slow. I have tried:
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'bounds_changed', function () {
clearOverlays();
loadMapFromCurrentBounds(map);
});
And that will not load any markers at all. I have also tried:
function loadMapFromCurrentBounds(map) {
clearOverlays();
And this will not load any markers either. Below is the code that will load all markers and functions as i want it to with the exception of clearing the old markers when the bounds change.
function load() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(40, -100),
zoom: 4,
mapTypeId: 'roadmap'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'bounds_changed', function () {
loadMapFromCurrentBounds(map);
});
}
function clearOverlays() {
if (markers) {
for (i in markers) {
markers[i].setMap(null);
}
}
}
function loadMapFromCurrentBounds(map) {
clearOverlays();
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow;
var bounds = map.getBounds(); // First, determine the map bounds
var swPoint = bounds.getSouthWest(); // Then the points
var nePoint = bounds.getNorthEast();
// Change this depending on the name of your PHP file
var searchUrl = 'Viewport_Search.php?west=' + swPoint.lat() + '&east=' + nePoint.lat() + '&south=' + swPoint.lng() + '&north=' + nePoint.lng();
downloadUrl(searchUrl, function(data) {
var xml = data.responseXML;
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

});

}
});
}

Please help... I have been beating my head against the computer all night researching and trying to figure this out. Feel free to email and/or ask for any questions.
You cant remove all markers, but it is possible to setMap to null on every visible marker.
I am doing it like that
add markers array to map object
add clearAllMarkers function to map object
every marker is added to the map is also added to markers array
clearAllMarkers function is something like that:
for (var idx=0;idx<=map.markers.length;idx++){
map.markers[idx].setMap(null);
}
I belive you are adding separate markers object to you're markers array. You're markers array should be full of markers references!!!
var map = []; //elrado's code
function load() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(40, -100),
zoom: 4,
mapTypeId: 'roadmap'
});
map.markers = [];//elrado's code (add narkers.array to map object)
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'bounds_changed', function () {
loadMapFromCurrentBounds(map);
});
}
function clearOverlays() {
if (map.markers) {
for (i in map.markers) { //Might be you'll need to use map.markers.length
markers[i].setMap(null);
}
map.markers = [];//reinit map.markers.array
}
}
function loadMapFromCurrentBounds(map) {
clearOverlays();
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow;
var bounds = map.getBounds(); // First, determine the map bounds

I have to warn you that this was written from the head (no test), but something like that should work. Basicly you are setting setMap(null) on separate markers not on objects you're showing on the map.
Below is the complete code solution to the problem.. Thanks for your help.
var map; //elrado's code
var markersArray = []; //elrados's code create array for markers
function load() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(33.553029,-112.054017),
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: 'roadmap'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'tilesloaded', function () {
clearOverlays()
loadMapFromCurrentBounds(map);
});
}
function clearOverlays() { //clear overlays function
if (markersArray) {
for (i in markersArray) {
markersArray[i].setMap(null);
}
}
}
function loadMapFromCurrentBounds(map) {
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow;
var bounds = map.getBounds(); // First, determine the map bounds
var swPoint = bounds.getSouthWest(); // Then the points
var nePoint = bounds.getNorthEast();
// Change this depending on the name of your PHP file
var searchUrl = 'Viewport_Search.php?west=' + swPoint.lat() + '&east=' + nePoint.lat() + '&south=' + swPoint.lng() + '&north=' + nePoint.lng();
downloadUrl(searchUrl, function(data) {
var xml = data.responseXML;
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var name = markers[i].getAttribute("name");
var address = markers[i].getAttribute("address");
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var html = "<b>" + name + "</b> <br/>" + address;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: point,
});
markersArray.push(marker); //eldorado's code Define the array to put markers in
bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infoWindow, html);
}
});
}
function bindInfoWindow(marker, map, infoWindow, html) {
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infoWindow.setContent(html);
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});
}
function downloadUrl(url, callback) {
var request = window.ActiveXObject ?
new ActiveXObject('Microsoft.XMLHTTP') :
new XMLHttpRequest;
request.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (request.readyState == 4) {
request.onreadystatechange = doNothing;
callback(request, request.status);
}
};
request.open('GET', url, true);
request.send(null);
}
function doNothing() {}
