Hello friends i trying to set Google Map as a background of the web page like this
. I m noticing in this site that the map which is used by this site has no arrows and plus minus icons on it. i don't know how to get this kind of code of Google Map. I trying to do the same but there on google map page no option to delete these features
Please help me
any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
there's the demo code to do the map that you want. visit here you will have to change the parameters such as center and zoom level. then you can achieve the map as you have shown in the question. for documentation plz refer this
There are certain options for the map that you can disable when initializing your map. You can find a list of these map options in Google Maps API Reference: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MapOptions
To get just a bare map, you'll probably have to do something like this for your map options:
var myOptions = {
zoom: (specify zoom level),
center: (your map's center),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
disableDoubleClickZoom: false,
draggable: false,
overviewMapControl: false,
panControl: false,
scrollwheel: false,
streetViewControl: false,
zoomControl: false,
mapTypeControl: false
}

I am having trouble trying to disable panning on google street view panorama for my app. I've looked at the Street View's documentation and couldn't find any ways to do it. Is it even possible to do this? Thanks~
This is working as intended as panoramas are essentially long pan-able images.
I suggest using Street View Static API instead to get stills of the same photosphere.
For exampl, this fiddle can also be achieved through Street View Static.
Fiddle Street View code :
var fenway = {lat: 42.345573, lng: -71.098326};
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(
document.getElementById('pano'), {
position: fenway,
pov: {
heading: 160,
pitch: 10
},
clickToGo : false,
panControl: false
});
Static StreetView query :
https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/streetview?size=800x600&location=42.345573,-71.098326&heading=160&pitch=10&YOUR_API_KEY
I've disabled streetview controls like so:
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 16,
center: myCenter,
streetViewControl:false
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById("map"),
mapOptions
);
Which takes the streetview control off of the map BUT if you click on a point of interest with a panoramic image / link to streetview then click that image you are again taken into streetview mode.
I want to keep my points of interest but I want to disable maps from going into streetview mode. Is this possible?
Solution
Using the answer below I added a few more items:
.gm-rev, .gm-sv-label{display:none;}
.gm-iw, .gm-sm, .gm-wsv{pointer-events:none;}
2 possible options(there may be more):
prevent the streetView from being visible:
google.maps.event.addListener(map.getStreetView(), 'visible_changed', function(){
if(this.getVisible()){this.setVisible(false)}
});
try to make the streetview-link in the infowindow un-clickable
.gm-sv-label{display:none;}
.gm-wsv{pointer-events:none;}
I would suggest to use both options together, because the 2nd option may fail in the future(the classNames may change)
I am using street view on my site with pancontrols and zoomControls in it. For now google provides us some defined positions like RIGHT_CENTER etc. I want my custom position using css, I have taken help from this link Google Maps API V3 custom controls position but it is not working may be because it is for Road map and I need for street view. The code which I have used for calling street view is
function initialize() {
var fenway = new google.maps.LatLng(42.345573, -71.098326);
var panoOptions = {
position: fenway,
pov: {
heading: 280.19,
pitch: -22.444,
zoom:0.2
},
addressControl: false,
panControlOptions: {
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_CENTER
},
panControl: true,
zoomControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.SMALL,
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_CENTER
},
enableCloseButton: false
};
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(
document.getElementById('map-canvas'), panoOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
Thanks in Advance.
Check Custom Street View examples and this CUSTOM STREET VIEW FIDDLE
AFAIK you must link your panorama to the image of the streetview, thats nice if you want to make your own street view, if you want to get a google one, you must get the URL to force the view enter in streetview.
function getCustomPanoramaTileUrl(pano, zoom, tileX, tileY) {
// Note: robust custom panorama methods would require tiled pano data.
// Here we're just using a single tile, set to the tile size and equal
// to the pano "world" size.

You have everything that you need to do this in the answer that you linked to above. You can pick from one of two choices:
The hack... This isn't recommended because if google maps decides to
change their layout, your code will break. To do this for
streetview, inspect the streetview window to find which 'gmnoprint'
you want to move. As an example, putting this after the panorama
load, moves the controls:
setTimeout( function() {
$($('div.gmnoprint')[4]).css({left: '-300px', background: 'red'});
}, 1000);
The best way to do it, as suggested at Google Maps API V3 custom controls position is to hide the streetview controls, create your own controls, and put them wherever you like. This takes much more effort, but it will not break when the streetview layout changes.
For some unknown reason grid lines are appearing on my map in all browsers. I have looked for a solution but nothing seems to fix it. Every solution I have found says you need to set your browsers to compatibility mode.
function Initialize() {
var centerPosition = new google.maps.LatLng(40.747688,-74.004142);
var options = {
zoom: 8,
scrollwheel: false,
center: centerPosition,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
mapTypeControl: true,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU
}
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: centerPosition,
map: map![enter image description here][2]
});
};
It is a CSS problem. Your CSS is being applied to the map tiles (images).
I had a similar problem where lines appeared over the Google Map. Upon careful inspection, I found that the problem only reproduced in Chrome. There is an answer given in a similar question:
Google Maps random vertical line in Chrome
The short version is that when you zoom in and out in Chrome, a bug in the browser causes lines to appear. Hopefully, this bug will be fixed soon and this answer will be obsolete!
Also, in the case that the place on the map is Hawai'i, there is a vertical line between the islands of O'ahu and Moloka'i and a horizontal line between the islands of O'ahu and Kaua'i. These lines appear to be part of the map, for some reason, and are not the result of a browser defect.
can anyone please point me in the right direction about how to implement google maps in sencha touch 2.2.1 in an MVC fashion? a good step by step tutorial maybe?
I need to have a view and a controller but am not sure what is the correct way of doing it as regards defining map options and initializing the map. Been looking at various tutorials on the Internet but none of them matches exactly what I want to implement.
I am using a tab panel and my map needs to be displayed when clicking one of the tabs (called Location)...
first, you have to put the map panel as item of your tab container:
{
xtype: 'map',
useCurrentLocation: false,
mapOptions: {
disableDefaultUI: true,
zoom: 11,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
}
next, you can refer to it in the specific controller for this view in this way:
config: {
refs: {
...
mymap: '.map',
...
},
...
}
in that way you can have a reference of your map object in the controller by typing:
this.getMymap()
and can attach an handler to the map to make some action on it when it is rendered:
this.getMymap().on('maprender', this.onMapRender, this, { single: true });
where "onMapRender" is a method of your controller. You have to do in that way if you want, for example, render a marker over the map and center it, because before the "maprender" event dispatched by the map, you can not do any action over it (the GMap object simply does not yet exists), so, for example, in your controller, the handler could be:
onMapRender: function(e) {
var latLngCoordinates = new google.maps.LatLng(..., ...)
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLngCoordinates,
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
map: this.getMymap().getMap()
});
this.getMymap().setMapCenter(latLngCoordinates);
}
enjoy with it ;)
