I am trying to implement a script that will geocode and plot all the locations of an array into a map. I am stack because I cannot get the map to fit all the markers added in the screen. I lost many hours trying several methods and this what I came up to:

Can somebody give me a hand on this because it seems that I am going to stick with this version forever.
I have the following to goals:
1. Bound the displayed map so that all markers placed in the map will be displayed.
2. Add infoWindow with the name of the location.
I would appreaciate any help!
Regards to all of you,
Nick
What you need to do is extend your bounds object as you add each marker. Then after adding them all, call fitBounds to redraw the map to the appropriate zoom level for that bounds object.
Add an InfoWindow within the loop as you create your markers, bound to each marker. This worked for me:
var geocoder;
var map;
var markersArray = [];
var bounds;
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: ''
});
//plot initial point using geocode instead of coordinates (works just fine)
function initialize() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds ();
var myOptions = {
zoom: 2,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
navigationControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.NavigationControlStyle.SMALL
}
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': '5th Avenus New Yort'}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
bounds.extend(results[0].geometry.location);
markersArray.push(marker);
}
else{
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
plotMarkers();
}
var locationsArray = [
['Google Official','1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, USA'],
['Google 1','112 S. Main St., Ann Arbor, USA'],
['Google 2','10 10th Street NE, Suite 600 USA']
];
function plotMarkers(){
var i;
for(i = 0; i < locationsArray.length; i++){
codeAddresses(locationsArray[i]);
}
}
function codeAddresses(address){
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address[1]}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(address[0]);
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
bounds.extend(results[0].geometry.location);
markersArray.push(marker);
}
else{
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
map.fitBounds(bounds);
});
}

With the following code when I get a result back, I don't appear to get the full address components of the result back, which we are using with our other services to determine various things.
As soon as I take the bounds out, it works fine. But I still need it restricted to the bounds.
Why is this? and how can I solve the issue?
CODE:
_geocoder.geocode(_.extend(position, {
bounds: {
west: -25.806884999999966,
east: 16.380615000000034,
south: 48.98742739340465,
north: 60.16884190739975
}
}), function (results, status) {
if (status === google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
_lastResults = results;
deferred.resolve(results);
} else {
deferred.reject('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
}
});
To add the bounds to the GeocoderRequest, it goes inside the request object:
var data = {
bounds: {
west: -25.806884999999966,
east: 16.380615000000034,
south: 48.98742739340465,
north: 60.16884190739975
}
};
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(
new google.maps.LatLng(data.bounds.south, data.bounds.west),
new google.maps.LatLng(data.bounds.north, data.bounds.east));
geocoder.geocode({
address: "London",
bounds: bounds
}, function(results, status) {
if (status === google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: results[0].geometry.location,
map: map
});
} else {
alert('Geocode was not successful for the following reason: ' + status);
}
});
Note however:
Optional parameters:
bounds — The LatLngBounds within which to bias geocode results more prominently. The bounds parameter will only influence, not fully restrict, results from the geocoder. (For more information see Viewport Biasing below.)

Im trying to make marker on google map, based on adress, but maps is showing no data?
Here is my example
$(document).ready(function() {
/* google maps */
google.maps.visualRefresh = true;
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 14, // set the zoom level manually
zoomControl: false,
scaleControl: false,
scrollwheel: false,
disableDoubleClickZoom: true,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map;
function initialize() {
var address = $('#map').text(); /* change the map-input to your address */
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
if (geocoder) {
geocoder.geocode({
'address': address
}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
if (status != google.maps.GeocoderStatus.ZERO_RESULTS) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: address,
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location,
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: results[0].geometry.location,
map: map,
title: address
});
} else {
alert("No results found");
}
}
});
}

google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
});

You had missed center in mapOptions.
And you should create geocoder variable in initialize function.
Please refer this. I had shown your map.
I use a Gmap with postal Code (PO BOX) and want to add the house number for a more perfect marker, how to add the house number? This is my code:
function createMap() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
var address = '8915 CK, NL';
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
I've used the code below to display a map with multiple markers and infowindows. Now I have encountered the very common problem of the last infowindow showing up on all markers. I've tried all sorts of solutions including: http://you.arenot.me/2010/06/29/google-maps-api-v3-0-multiple-markers-multiple-infowindows/ and this one http://www.robertbolton.com/blog/google-maps-v3-multiple-markers-and-infowindows-in-a-loop but none of them fix the problem.
Here is my code:
var infowindow = null;
var geocoder;
var map;
$(document).ready(function() {
initialize();
});
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
disableDefaultUI: true,
scrollwheel: false
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
setMarkers(map, people);
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "loading..."
});
}
var people = [
{"userid":"47","lastname":"lastname1","firstname":"firstname1","address":"Paris, France","phone1":"00000000000","phone2":"","email":"me#me.com"},
{"userid":"42","lastname":"lastname2","firstname":"firstname2","address":"Versaille, France","phone1":"0","phone2":"0","email":"me#me.com"}
];
function setMarkers(map, people) {
for (var i = 0; i < people.length; i++) {
var p = people[i];
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': p["address"] }, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: results[0].geometry.location,
map: map,
html: p["address"]
});
var contentString = "Some content";
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function () {
infowindow.setContent(this.html);
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
}
geocoding is an asynchronous request. So when you use geocoding inside the for-loop, the loop is already finished when you receive the results, i will always be 1 and point to the last item of people.
What you can do: split the marker-creation into 2 functions. 1 for the loop which calls the 2nd function that creates the markers:
remove the current function setMarkers and add the following 2 functions to your script:
function setMarkers(map,people) {
for (var i = 0; i < people.length; i++) {
setMarker(map, people[i])
}
}
function setMarker(map, people) {
var p=people;
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': p["address"] }, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: results[0].geometry.location,
map: map,
html: p["address"]
});
var contentString = "Some content";
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function () {
infowindow.setContent(this.html);
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
}
else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
The rest of your script may stay as it is.
Am pulling my hair out trying getting GeoCoder working. I went so far as to just pull the example straight from Google and pasting into my HTML but it still doesn't work. Here is the code.
The address I capture from my field gets passed back into the geocoding function fine. Everything logs out to my console. But the map just refreshes and nothing happens.
I uploaded the code to my site as well. http://voidkat.com/geo/index.html

You need to put onsubmit onto the form, not onclick on the button.
Also, to call a function, you must put parentheses after it, even if it doesn't accept parameters, so it would be e.preventDefault(); not e.preventDefault;. And in the case of onsubmit (or any on), events cannot be canceled inside the function, you must use onsubmit="event.preventDefault(); ...".
