How can I change the label for pins in an embedded google maps?
Ive figured out how to change the marker to my icon, but I need to restyle the A, B, C etc similar to how travelodge do for there map http://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/book/edinburgh-hotels
UPDATE this is the code that successfully uses a custom marker:
function addMarker(latlng, myTitle) {
markers.push(new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: myTitle,
icon: "www.linkto/myPin.png"
}));
}
Ive included markerwithlabel.js However this doesn't create any markers at all:
function addMarker(latlng, myTitle) {
markers.push(new MarkerWithLabel({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: myTitle,
icon: "www.linkto/myPin.png",
labelContent: "$425K",
labelAnchor: new google.maps.Point(22, 0),
labelClass: "labels",
labelStyle: {opacity: 0.75}
}));
}
This is the code I was tying to adapt:
http://google-maps-utility-library-v3.googlecode.com/svn/tags/markerwithlabel/1.1.8/examples/basic.html
If you managed to change the marker icon, then you did all the work.
A marker does not have a label. What travelodge does is that it has markers for each letter and then sets them according to the search results.
EDIT:
It seems there's a special library to do what you want (go to "Styled Marker"):
http://code.google.com/p/google-maps-utility-library-v3/wiki/Libraries#MarkerWithLabel
To see the code click in "Development versions", then "Examples" and then look at the source code of the pages. Here's the Simple example code:
function initialize() {
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(37.313477473067, -121.880502070713);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 11,
center: myLatLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
var styleMaker2 = new StyledMarker({styleIcon:new StyledIcon(StyledIconTypes.BUBBLE,{color:"ff0000",text:"I'm a marker!"}),position:new google.maps.LatLng(37.383477473067, -121.880502070713),map:map});
var styleMaker1 = new StyledMarker({styleIcon:new StyledIcon(StyledIconTypes.MARKER,{color:"00ff00",text:"A"}),position:myLatLng,map:map});
var styleMaker3 = new StyledMarker({styleIcon:new StyledIcon(StyledIconTypes.MARKER,{color:"0000ff"}),position:new google.maps.LatLng(37.263477473067, -121.880502070713),map:map});
}

I am trying to mark some spots on a google map. I am using google maps places javascript api.
function initialize() {
var mapProp = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(userlatitude, userlongitude),
zoom: 12,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
//var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapProp);
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("midsection"), mapProp);
var mapPosition = new google.maps.LatLng(-20.997110, 123.375544);
markers.push(new google.maps.Marker({
position: {
lat: -20.014006,
lng: 123.421746
},
map: map,
title: 'Mow my lawn',
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP
}));
(if the Long/Lat are invalid, its because I randomly changed it for the purpose of this post)
I can see the marker drop down and bounce once. But then it disappears. I have tried setting the Zindex, changing the display and position type of the div canvas. But nothing I do seems to make the marker stay.
The problem ended up being hidden in my CSS.
it was just a Canvas: display:none call
First of all, I'm not really sure if this question is really for Stack Overflow, please tell me where I should move it if it's necessary.
Is it possible to add custom pins (map markers) in Google Maps Street View? If the answer is "yes" please provide additional information about how it can be done (links to sources, tips, etc.). Tried searching on Google for "google maps street view markers" but I couldn't find anything relevant.
Yes is possible
you can easy found sample like this on google dev
this is the js sample code by google development
var panorama;
function initMap() {
var astorPlace = {lat: 40.729884, lng: -73.990988};
// Set up the map
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: astorPlace,
zoom: 18,
streetViewControl: false
});
// Set up the markers on the map
var cafeMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: {lat: 40.730031, lng: -73.991428},
map: map,
icon: 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_icon&chld=cafe|FFFF00',
title: 'Cafe'
});
var bankMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: {lat: 40.729681, lng: -73.991138},
map: map,
icon: 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_icon&chld=dollar|FFFF00',
title: 'Bank'
});
var busMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: {lat: 40.729559, lng: -73.990741},
map: map,
icon: 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_icon&chld=bus|FFFF00',
title: 'Bus Stop'
});
// We get the map's default panorama and set up some defaults.
// Note that we don't yet set it visible.
panorama = map.getStreetView();
panorama.setPosition(astorPlace);
panorama.setPov(/** #type {google.maps.StreetViewPov} */({
heading: 265,
pitch: 0
}));
}
function toggleStreetView() {
var toggle = panorama.getVisible();
if (toggle == false) {
panorama.setVisible(true);
} else {
panorama.setVisible(false);
}
}
Hello guys I've got a simple question to ask, when I open my map I have set the lat and long to open some coords, then I place one marker with a infoBubble opening when the map is loaded, but after that the map opens in the maker position. I dont want that .. is it possible force the start location to open my map in the start position instead of the marker position?
thanks
function init() {
var mapCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(-8.799445,-63.922042);
map = new google.maps.Map( document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 17,
center: mapCenter,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
});
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(-8.802732,-63.921939);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({ map: map,
position: myLatLng,
draggable: true,
icon: icon
});
}
By default the API when a InfoWindow will be opened tries to pan the map so that the infoWindow is fully visible.
Set the disableAutoPan-property of the infoWindow to true to avoid this.
I'm using Google Maps For Javascript. I reorganized all options and working true location. But when i add style and marker, I don't see the effects. How can I fix it?
var locations = [
['MyLocation', 41.084951,29.016048],
];
var waStyle = [
{
featureType: "all",
stylers: [
{ saturation: -100 }
]
}
];
var map = new google.maps.StyledMapType(waStyle,{name: "MyLoc"});
var img = new google.maps.MarkerImage("/themes/bc/images/bc_pin.png");
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_detail'), {
zoom: 10,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(41.084951,29.016048),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var marker, i;
for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),
map: map
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
infowindow.setContent(locations[i][0]);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
}
Using your code, I see the marker. The style isn't visible because you don't use it on the map.
documentation
To actually use the style (your code with some comments and added code from the documentation referenced above):
// Create a new StyledMapType object, passing it the array of styles,
// as well as the name to be displayed on the map type control.
var styledMap = new google.maps.StyledMapType(waStyle,{name: "MyLoc"});
var img = new google.maps.MarkerImage("mapIcons/marker1.png");
// Create a map object, and include the MapTypeId to add
// to the map type control.
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), {
zoom: 10,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(41.084951,29.016048),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
mapTypeIds: [google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, 'map_style']
}
});
//Associate the styled map with the MapTypeId and set it to display.
map.mapTypes.set('map_style', styledMap);
map.setMapTypeId('map_style');
To use the marker icon you have defined, include it in the google.maps.Marker constructor:
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),
icon: img,
map: map
});
Note that if you have more than one marker, you are going to have issues with associating the infoWindow with the marker which can be fixed with function closure (a createMarker function) and is a FAQ.
working example based off your code
I'm using this super basic code to add a google maps to my site:
var map;
function initMaps(latIn, longIn, htmltext) {
var LatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(latIn, longIn);
var Options = {
zoom: 13,
center: LatLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("mapStatic"), Options);
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: LatLng,
map: map
});
marker.setMap(map);
map.enableDragging();
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initMaps);
The map is displaying fine, but for some reason I can't drag it around, is it possible that some other piece of javascript is doing this?
I look around, but didn't find anything that could cause a problem.
