brand new here.....don't hurt me :). I also apologize if my terminology is incorrect.
I have no HTML experience but come here via FileMaker. I'm working on a FileMaker database just for my own small business and came across Geocoding, which I added to my database. Everything works fine. But I'm trying to figure out where in the HTML I could change the parameters so when I roll over a marker I can see the Customer's name, and not just "Marker 1". I was able to adjust the document so when I click on the marker, Name, Address, City State, etc. all pop up, but can't seem to figure out the marker (label?) part. If this is too much to ask, I apologize, and could you please just point me in the right direction.
I've been on this site and a few others over the past week, just reading & trying to learn all I can, and tinkering, but still remain stumped.
Any help/direction would be greatly appreciated. Of course if you need any more info just please ask.
Thanks
Steve

The "title" of the marker is what is displayed on mouseover. It is being set by this code:
addMarker({
position: markers[i]['position'],
title: "Marker "+i,
info: markers[i]['info']
});
Change the "Marker "+i to be the text you want displayed.

I have one code that shows elevation and another which displays weather information. Is there a way to merge the two codes together so I have one map that has both features? I am using notepad to work on this.

You would probably want to put the code into a seperate .js file, and link it in. That way, the code would be right next to each other, and hence you could get both effects, which other wise would not work. You are already linking a script file from google - all you would need is to put the code of yours into a .js file, and link it in the same way
*Hi there, i am new to the whole Google map api environment so please do guide me along.
What i am trying to achieve below is to extract data from either a XML file or a JSON file and plot the locations onto Google map. I am also trying to add a info window whereby it will show different information for each location. I understand that to have a info window, i would have to create a over lay. But the question is how do i actually tag multiple info-window to their markers ?
All markers are displayed well on the map, but the problem is when I click to see info window - info window is always displayed on the same marker. What's the problem?
This is what i have came up with so far and i would greatly appreciate if anyone is able to spot the issue.

Use this instead of marker, when opening infowindow.
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "mouseover", function() {
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
The title says the question. Now, is it good to use a counter that starts from zero and when it is 1 or more I wouldn't add a marker. Or should I try to make it such that when someone clicks on the map the old marker disappears and the new one is assigned? The following code is what I have so far.. Thanks for any kind of help.
Also, how can I access the longitude and latitude in the next page?
And about capturing the map into a blob, is it a different topic or it is also related?
Thanks

I would say its up to you and your application later how you handle the markers.
You can implement a counter, create a dragable marker, depends how the app will work later on.
How will your next page look like?
One simple way could be something like this:
I use addListenerOnce to call the placeMarker function only one time and during this i write the latitude and longitude in a form field.
now you can add action parameters plus a submit button and you can access the values on your next page.
Thats the fiddle + code:
http://jsfiddle.net/iambnz/LcKy2/
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'click', function(e) {
placeMarker(e.latLng, map);
// alert(e.latLng.toString());
document.getElementById("latitude").value = e.latLng.lat();
document.getElementById("longitude").value = e.latLng.lng();
});
}
function placeMarker(position, map) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map
});
map.panTo(position);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
I am traveling globally and need to insert a Google map on my web page that shows my current position (not the position of the reader) so that others can see where I am.
Does anyone have a straightforward solution to do this. I know how to use My Places to create maps and insert in my pages, but have avoided having to get involved in using the Maps API so far. I have some knowledge of HTML and Javascript, but it is minimal so would rather avoid this if I can.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
Further to my answer over at your other question you may find bits of this example useful: - hypoCampus
The little blue man/person/icon follows your location. If you scroll the maps away you can then press the static blue map-control man to re-center on your location. When you're moving (throttled location update is changing) the icon is walking otherwise it is standing.
(There's a bug with Manifest - "display" : "standalone" at the mo Chrome bug)
Hopefully Firebase have committed to bypassing the speed-humps of W3C/IETF and will give us ServiceWorker Background Geolocation tracking very soon.
you must tell to map your current location. for that you must get your location Latitude and Longitude for show that by maps.
get that by :
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=+" + MapAddress + "&sensor=false
try this html code in your page. str_lat and str_lng are your location :
<head>
<meta name='viewport' content='initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no' />
<style type='text/css'>
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map-canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type='text/javascript' src=https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&sensor=false>
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(str_lat,str_lng);
var mapOptions = {
center: myLatlng,
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title:'Location!'
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

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:
