When I use Google Maps as an anonymous user, when I find a company that I'm building a website for, Google shows me some kind of a default street view photo for that place. It's quite nice and I would like to have this photo appear also in my custom InfoWindow that I'm preparing using API3. Is there a method for that or should I sniff and use its source path?
You can embed the street view panorama like this, or embed a screen capture image in the infowindow contents (<img src="...">) Also you may set the marker visible: false

I've been trying for ages to get a marker on this map, same location as center, but can't get it to work.

I've tried following the instructions here, but I can't get it to work..
Any ideas? I had it working on my site using an iframe, but had issues scrolling past the full width map without getting caught zooming in, so I'm looking for a way to make this code to replace it.
Following the example you link to works for me (setting the marker to the map center):
function initialize() {
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map');
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(59.909968, 10.748012),
zoom: 16,
zoomControl: true,
scaleControl: true,
scrollwheel: false,
disableDoubleClickZoom: true,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions);
// from https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/marker-simple
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
// change the position to the map center
position: map.getCenter(),
map: map,
title: 'Hello World!'
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
html,
body,
#map {
height: 100%;

I am facing problem in magento for the google map.
I have controller as the following:
class MapSoftware_Map_Adminhtml_MapbackendController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
$this->loadLayout();
$this->_title($this->__("MapSales"));
$block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('core/text', 'example-block')->setTemplate('map/mapbackend.phtml')->toHtml();
$this->_addContent($block);
$this->renderLayout();
}
}
I am going to use mapbackend.phtml file and its code is given below
<style>
#map-canvas {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}
#map-canvas img {
max-width: none;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&libraries=weather,places,drawing"></script>
<script>
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(0.1768697,37.9083264),
mapTypeControl: true,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DEFAULT,
mapTypeIds: [
google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
]
},
zoomControl: true,
zoomControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.SMALL
}
};
map = new
google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mapcanvas'),mapOptions);
var image = 'https://cdn0.iconfinder.com/data/icons/small-n-
flat/24/678111-map-marker-32.png';
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(0.1768697,37.9083264);
var beachMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map,
icon: image
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
<div id="map-canvas" style="width: 96%; height: 500px; position: absolute;"></div>
So now my problem is when I go through the page it's showing only the map and not the controllers. This code is running on local machine but it's not working on magento.
Please help me , I am stuck with this part, also I am new in magento.
I think this is a Google Map bug in the latest version that makes the map controls not visible and throws a JS error. I have seen the same problem in other places. Try with v3.17 instead.
Here is my code for a google map
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#map_canvas {
width: 900px;
height: 400px;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var map_canvas = document.getElementById('map_canvas');
var map_options = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(18.979026,16.468506),
zoom: 2,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var iconBase = 'https://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/';
var icons = {
parking: {
name: 'Parking',
icon: iconBase + 'parking_lot_maps.png'
}
};
function addMarker(feature) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: feature.position,
icon: icons[feature.type].icon,
map: map
});
}
var features = [
{
position: new google.maps.LatLng(-33.91721, 151.22630),
type: 'Parking'
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(map_canvas, map_options)
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map_canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
Why is it wrong?
All what it is supposed to do is be centered and have a marker with the icon parking at a certain lat & long.
I tried following the google tutorial, but I understand it
So any help would be much appreciated
Use MarkerImage to place an custom icon
img = new google.maps.MarkerImage('parking_lot_maps.png');
then
Marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: pos,
icon: img,
});
I have a simple google map v3 with one marker and infowindow attached to it.
if I click the marker, the infowindow shows and map pans automatically to fit the infowindow in the view, however if I try to trigger a click to open the infowindow when the page loads, the infowindow opens but panning does not occur.
Triggering is done like so:
google.maps.event.trigger(marker, 'click');
If I move above code into a function and call it with setTimeout 500, then the panning happens as well.
I dug around in API, but could not find a function to cause auto panning on demand. is there a way without using a timeout? Why does the timeout help?
Thanks
Here's the example that Does not pan:

The initializing of the map is not a synchronous process, when you've created the Map-instance it takes some time until all properties of the map are set(so maybe some properties that are needed to determine the position where to pan the map)
When you use a timeout and it works the needed properties are set at this time.
Instead a timeout I would suggest to call the function when the tiles have been loaded, you can be sure that the initializing of the map has been finished at this time:
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'tilesloaded', pop);
How to make a responsive google map from the code
<div class="map">
<iframe>...</iframe>
</div>
I use in css for full map
.map{max-width:100%;}
and small device
.map{max-width:40%;}
but it didn't work.
Anyone have idea? Thank you.
Add this to your initialize function:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
// Resize stuff...
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "resize", function() {
var center = map.getCenter();
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
map.setCenter(center);
});
}
</script>
Adding a 100% to the width and height attributes of its iframe has always worked for me. For example
<iframe width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.co.in/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=+&q=surat&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=Surat,+Gujarat&ll=21.195,72.819444&spn=0.36299,0.676346&t=m&z=11&output=embed"></iframe><br />
A solution without javascript:
HTML:
<div class="google-maps">
<iframe>........//Google Maps Code//..........</iframe>
</div>
CSS:
.google-maps {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 75%; // This is the aspect ratio
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.google-maps iframe {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100% !important;
height: 100% !important;
}
If you have a custom map size, remove the "height: 100% !important"
It's better to use Google Map API.
I've created an example here: http://jsfiddle.net/eugenebolotin/8m1s69e5/1/
Key features are using of functions:
//Full example is here: http://jsfiddle.net/eugenebolotin/8m1s69e5/1/
map.setCenter(map_center);
// Scale map to fit specified points
map.fitBounds(path_bounds);
It handles resize event and automaticaly adjusts size.
in the iframe tag, you can easily add width='100%' instead of the preset value giving to you by the map
like this:
<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?anyLocation" width="100%" height="400" frameborder="0" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>
Check this for a solution: http://jsfiddle.net/panchroma/5AEEV/
I can't take the credit for the code though, it comes from quick and easy way to make google maps iframe embed responsive.
Good luck!

Here a standard CSS solution + JS for the map's height resizing
CSS
#map_canvas {
width: 100%;
}
JS
// On Resize
$(window).resize(function(){
$('#map_canvas').height($( window ).height());
JsFiddle demo : http://jsfiddle.net/3VKQ8/33/
i think the simplest way will be to add this css and it will work perfectly.

My Responsive [Solution] Google Map in Foundation 4 Modal
JS
Create an external JavaScript file (i.e. mymap.js) with the following code
google.maps.visualRefresh = true; //Optional
var respMap;
function mymapini() {
var mapPos = new google.maps.LatLng(-0.172175,1.5); //Set the coordinates
var mapOpts = {
zoom: 10, //You can change this according your needs
disableDefaultUI: true, //Disabling UI Controls (Optional)
center: mapPos, //Center the map according coordinates
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
respMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mymap'),
mapOpts);
var mapMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: mapPos,
map: respMap,
title: 'You can put any title'
});
//This centers automatically to the marker even if you resize your window
google.maps.event.addListener(respMap, 'idle', function() {
window.setTimeout(function() {
respMap.panTo(mapPos.getPosition());
}, 250);
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', mymapini);
$("#modalOpen").click(function(){ //Use it like <a href="#" id="modalOpen"...
$("#myModal").show(); //ID from the Modal <div id="myModal">...
google.maps.event.trigger(respMap, 'resize');
});
HTML
Add the following code before the tag:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script src="js/mymap.js"></script>
Add this to the modal code:
<div id="mymap"></div>
CSS
Add this to your stylesheet:
#mymap { margin: 0; padding: 0; width:100%; height: 400px;}
Tried it with CSS, but its never 100% responsive, so I built a pure javascript solution. This one uses jQuery,
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "resize", function() {
var center = map.getCenter();
resizeMap();
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
map.setCenter(center);
});
function resizeMap(){
var h = window.innerHeight;
var w = window.innerWidth;
$("#map_canvas").width(w/2);
$("#map_canvas").height(h-50);
}
My solution based on eugenemail response:
1. HTML - Google Maps API
Get API Key
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap"></script>
2. HTML - Canvas
<div id="map_canvas"></div>
3. CSS - Map canvas
#map_canvas {
height: 400px;
}
4. JavaScript
function initialize() {
var lat = 40.759300;
var lng = -73.985712;
var map_center = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
var mapOptions = {
center: map_center,
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById("map_canvas");
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions);
new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
draggable: false,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng)
});
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', function() {
map.setCenter(map_center);
});
}
initialize();
I am an amateur but I found this worked:
.maps iframe {
position: absolute;
}
body {
padding-top: 40px;
padding-bottom: 820px;
height: available;
}
There may be a bit of whitespace at the bottom but I am satified
Responsive with CSS
You can make the Iframe responsive with the following CSS codes.
.map {
position: relative;
padding-bottom: 26.25%;
padding-top: 30px;
height: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}
.map iframe,
.map object,
.map embed {
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
}
Responsive with JavaScript
This possible through window.resize event and you can apply this on google map like google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', initialize);
Consider the following example:
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 9,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(28.9285745, 77.09149350000007),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('location-canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
draggable: false,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(28.9285745, 77.09149350000007)
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', initialize);
