I have a page with a Google Map generated. I want to be able to use the address bar to change the zoom and center point. E. g.:
www.example.com/mymap?zoom=10¢er=10,15
www.example.com/mymap?zoom=10&lat=10&lng=15
I remember that there was a similar combination that worked, but now I can't get any results with it.
Here is my function:
function initialize() {
// create the map
var myOptions = {
zoom: 5,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(10,15),
mapTypeControl: true,
mapTypeControlOptions: {style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU},
navigationControl: true,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var defaultBounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(
new google.maps.LatLng(8, 12),
new google.maps.LatLng(12, 18));
var options = {
bounds: defaultBounds
};
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function() {
infowindow.close();
});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(
{ size: new google.maps.Size(150,50)});
Are you looking for something like this (translated to the Google Maps API v3 from Mike Williams' v2 tutorial):

var mapOptions = {
zoom: 14,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(lattitude,langitude),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
dynamically change the centre of a google maps please any one tel
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude),
title: markerTitle,
map: map,
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
map.panTo(marker.getPosition());//sets center with animation
//map.setCenter(marker.getPosition()); // sets center without animation
});
Does anyone know if its possible to center a embedded map on an actual placeholder? I mean so that that when the map loads and is centered you can actually see the landmark and the marker in the the map?
function initialize() {
var map_canvas = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
var map_options = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(51.515727, -0.141388),
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, map_options)
}
This is my initialise function that inputs the coordinates of the shop I want to have directions to. However there is not placeholder (pin marker) over the shop. Am I able to do that?
Thanks!
You need to explicitly specify the marker and set its position. Following your example...
var map_canvas = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
var position = new google.maps.LatLng(51.515727, -0.141388);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 16,
center: position,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, map_options);
You have to then create the marker object...
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map,
title: "ANYTHING YOU WANT"
});
That's all you need to do really, but notice that you can always change the center of the map at anytime...
map.setCenter(position);

function initialize() {
var map_canvas = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
var map_options = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(51.515727, -0.141388),
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, map_options);
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(51.515727, -0.141388);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position:point,
map: map,
});
}
I'm starting to develop an application that will have Google Maps.
I studied the help of Google Maps Api and I'm with doubt to add an overlay. The below is the correct way to do it:
Create maps
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644),
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
}
Add overload:
function add() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.646);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions); /* It is correct?
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
title:"Hello World!"
});
marker.setMap(map);
};
Is there a way to get the mapsOptions, or rather not recaregar the map completely, or is this how it works?
remove the var-keyword when creating the map in initialize() .
When you do so, the map-variable is global accessible and you may call marker.setMap(map); inside add() without creating a new Maps-instance.
How can I hide map types bar on Google Maps?
(hide Ter, and Earth on menu bar)
I create code from http://maps.google.com
I suggest you to look at this:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/controls.html
Short:
mapTypeControl: false
this will hide map types bar.
or here is init function:
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-33, 151),
mapTypeControl: false,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
}
Vahagn's answer will completely hide the bar. But it's not clear from your question if this is what you want to do, or if you only want to hide just the options for Terrain and Earth. If the latter, you could try:
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-33, 151),
mapTypeControlOptions: {
mapTypeIds: [
google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE
]
},
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
}
Basically you need to set the property mapTypeControl to false like this:
mapTypeControl: true,
here is a live example of a page that offers customization with respect to look and feel.
I am working on a simple web app using jquery mobile. I am attempting to show a google map which shows the visitors gps location on a map. The code below is what i'm currently using, however it shows specific co-ordinates instead.
Can anyone help me change this so that it shows the visitors location? I have tried several solutions but have had no luck. Thank you!
<script>
$('#map_result').live('pageshow',function(event){
loadMap(48.870181,2.779852);
});
function loadMap(Lat, Long){
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(Lat, Long);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
}
</script>
Try this:
$('#map_result').live('pageshow', function (event) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (location) {
loadMap(location.coords.latitude, location.coords.longitude);
});
});
function loadMap(Lat, Long) {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(Lat, Long);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
}
