Goal: Get the TEXT address and then display the street view and map view at the same time
Ref Site:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/streetview-simple.html
My site:
http://www.iamvishal.com/dev/property/P2154 (pls click the map view to see the map)
Problem: I am able to display the map and the address correctly but instreet view does not change. Any idea why ?
My js variable address hold the text address in this case "323235 Balmoral Terrace Heaton Newcastle Upon Tyne"
function initialize()
{
var fenway = new google.maps.LatLng(42.345573,-71.098326);
var mapOptions = {
center: fenway,
zoom: 14,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
var panoramaOptions = {
position: fenway,
pov: {
heading: 34,
pitch: 10,
zoom: 1
}
};
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById("pano"),
panoramaOptions);
map.setStreetView(panorama);
var geocoderTwo = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoderTwo.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);
}
}
);
}
Here's how I've created a streetview before:
function createStreetMap(strMapCanvasID, yourLatLng)
{
var panorama;
//once the document is loaded, see if google has a streetview image within 50 meters of the given location, and load that panorama
var sv = new google.maps.StreetViewService();
sv.getPanoramaByLocation(yourLatLng, 50, function(data, status) {
if (status == 'OK') {
//google has a streetview image for this location, so attach it to the streetview div
var panoramaOptions = {
pano: data.location.pano,
addressControl: false,
navigationControl: true,
navigationControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.NavigationControlStyle.SMALL
}
};
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById(strMapCanvasID), panoramaOptions);
// lets try and hide the pegman control from the normal map, if we're displaying a seperate streetview map
objCreatedMap.setOptions({
streetViewControl: false
});
}
else{
//no google streetview image for this location, so hide the streetview div
$('#' + strMapCanvasID).parent().hide();
}
});
}
Update: and you could call this function directly from within your existing code (I've amended the function to use a LatLng rather than individual latitude and longitude values:
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
});
createStreetMap('yourStreetViewDiv', results[0].geometry.location);
}
There are a couple issues with your code. Fix them first:
64 Uncaught ReferenceError: berkeley is not defined
Also, you'll need to set a zoom and mapTypeId options on your Map before anything shows.

There are two places where i need to show google maps.
I'm using same code for both maps(I mean I'm reusing same code for both maps).
Below are links where you can find screen shots of those two maps.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2JnvvXsAALUdlVzemRVMzNMajF4OFB1V0JXc0RuN1p4eWFV/view - map1
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2JnvvXsAALUVGRhNm1HSldhQnpZT3k4S2I2R1YyQkp4OWZz/view - map2
I'm showing second map(map2) in bootstarp modal
first map(map1) is working fine. But in second map(map2), though I have used setCenter method, marker is not showing at center of the map(instead it is showing at top left corner).
what should i do to place marker at center of the map(in second map)?
below is my code..
initialize: function(options){
//initializing the geocoder
this.geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
this.map;
},
//on show of the view
//onShow is a marionette method, which will be triggered when view is shown
onShow: function(){
var address = this.model.get("address");
//render the map with dummy latLang
this.renderMap();
//render the Map with Proper address
if(address!== ""){
this.renderMapWithProperAddress(address);
}
},
renderMap: function(){
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById("mapCanvas"), self = this,
mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(64.855, -147.833),//dummy latLang
zoom: 15,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
zoomControl: false,
mapTypeControl: false,
streetViewControl:false
};
//initializing google map
self.map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions);
$("#myModal").on("shown.bs.modal",function(){
google.maps.event.trigger(self.map, "resize");
});
},
renderMapWithProperAddress: function(address){
var self = this,marker;
self.geocoder.geocode( { "address": address}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
self.map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: self.map,
position: results[0].geometry.location,
title: address
});
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
}
My guess, without seeing your code, is that you need to trigger a map resize event after the bootstrap modal has been shown.
Bootstrap modal
Maps events
$('#myModal').on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
});
Edit:
Here is a complete and working example. As per my comment, you should 1) Trigger a map resize and 2) set the map center to your marker coordinates.
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(59.76522, 18.35002);
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 7,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
center: center
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: center
});
}
$('.launch-map').on('click', function () {
$('#modal').modal({
backdrop: 'static',
keyboard: false
}).on('shown.bs.modal', function () {
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
map.setCenter(center);
});
});
initialize();

I have an application where I'm using the Google Map API to display markers for posts made by users using their lat/lon. I employed the MarkerClusterer capability for better organization of the markers, which works but with a bug of sorts.
Essentially, I've been testing this at home so the lat/lon has been the same for all test posts. Before using MarkerClusterer, zooming far into the map would eventually reveal all the markers. Unfortunately, using the MarkerClusterer, if there is, for example, a "5" listed for the number of markers that are very close together such as these test posts, clicking on the cluster reveals nothing. No markers ever appear when these are very close together. To reiterate, these markers do appear without the MarkerClusterer.
I upgraded to MarkerClustererPlus v2.0.9 per another post that described other issues with the MarkerClusterer but that hasn't solved the problem.
Any insight into this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: geocodezip suggested the overlappingmarkerspidifier, which sounds great, but my code is fairly involved and I'm not sure how to incorporate it. Any insight much appreciated. Code follows:
function mainGeo()
{
if (navigator.geolocation)
{
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( mainMap, error, {maximumAge: 30000, timeout: 10000, enableHighAccuracy: true} );
}
else
{
alert("Sorry, but it looks like your browser does not support geolocation.");
}
}
var stories = {{storyJson|safe}};
var geocoder;
var map;
var markers = [];
function loadMarkers(stories){
for (i=0;i<stories.length;i++) {
var story = stories[i];
if (story.copy.length > 120) {
story.copy = story.copy.substring(0, 120) + "...";
}
(function(story) {
var pinColor = "69f2ff";
var pinImage = new google.maps.MarkerImage("http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld=S|" + pinColor,
new google.maps.Size(21, 34),
new google.maps.Point(0,0),
new google.maps.Point(10, 34));
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(story.latitude, story.longitude);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: point, map: map, icon: pinImage});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({

{

Perhaps this post in the v3 group: Overlapping markers on your Google Map? Meet OverlappingMarkerSpiderfier might help:
Sounds like the OverlapingMarkerSpiderifier solves your problem.
I'm currently working on an application where various markers are placed with infowindows on a Google Map based on a user's posts. I've also included geocoding so that the user can change their location and view markers/posts in any area.
What I'd like to do is for the user to search through the text info in the infowindows via a form and the map then responds by showing the markers that contain that text window. I've searched through the API and I don't see this ability mentioned, although it seems like it should be achievable.
Any insight or information on how to accomplish this would be much appreciated.
Here's the current code within the application:
function mainGeo()
{
if (navigator.geolocation)
{
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition( mainMap, error, {maximumAge: 30000, timeout: 10000, enableHighAccuracy: true} );
}
else
{
alert("Sorry, but it looks like your browser does not support geolocation.");
}
}
var stories = {{storyJson|safe}};
var geocoder;
var map;
function loadMarkers(stories){
for (i=0;i<stories.length;i++) {
var story = stories[i];
(function(story) {
var pinColor = "69f2ff";
var pinImage = new google.maps.MarkerImage("http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld=S|" + pinColor,
new google.maps.Size(21, 34),
new google.maps.Point(0,0),
new google.maps.Point(10, 34));
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(story.latitude, story.longitude);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: point, map: map, icon: pinImage});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: '<div >'+
'<div >'+
'</div>'+
'<h2 class="firstHeading">'+story.headline+'</h2>'+
'<div>'+
'<p>'+story.author+'</p>'+
'<p>'+story.city+'</p>'+
'<p>'+story.topic+'</p>'+
'<p>'+story.date+'</p>'+
'<p>'+story.copy+'</p>'+
'<p><a href='+story.url+'>Click to read story</a></p>'+
'</div>'+
'</div>'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map,this);
});
})(story);
}
}
function mainMap(position)
{
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
// Define the coordinates as a Google Maps LatLng Object
var coords = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
// Prepare the map options
var mapOptions =
{
zoom: 15,
center: coords,
mapTypeControl: false,
navigationControlOptions: {style: google.maps.NavigationControlStyle.SMALL},
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
// Create the map, and place it in the map_canvas div
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
// Place the initial marker
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

});
loadMarkers(stories);
}
function codeAddress() {
var address = document.getElementById("address").value;
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({

Create three empty arrays (e.g., markers, infowindows, and matches)
As you instantiate the marker, reference the marker via an index in the markers array (e.g., markers[i] = marker)
As you instantiate the infowindow, reference it's content via an index in the infowindows array (e.g., infowindows[i] = htmltext [or whatever variable name you store your content in)
Search for the string in the infowindows array, store the indexes of the items that contain the string in the matches array, and then use a for loop with the matches array to add the markers from the markers array (based on the index values of the matches array).
I'm trying to make a street panorama of a given location on a map. Sometimes the panorama works fine with the location as the position of the panorama, and other times it shows only a gray screen with controls. To solve this, I am trying to use the StreetViewService.getPanoramaByLocation(). The returned LatLng from this function is VERY close to the LatLng's of the locations of panoramas that already work, but the panorama is ALWAYS gray when I use this input as position. I've done lots of research and still cannot solve the problem.
Here is my code:
function init() {
var location = new google.maps.LatLng(<%=id%>);
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), {
center: location,
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: location
});
var client = new google.maps.StreetViewService();
client.getPanoramaByLocation(location, 49, function(result, status) {
if (status == "OK" )
location = result.location.latLng;
});
myPano = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById("pano"), {
position: location,
pov: {
pitch: -10,
heading: 0,
zoom: 1
}
});
}
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I do this slightly differently from you. I only create the StreetViewPanorama if the status is 'ok'
var sv = new google.maps.StreetViewService();
sv.getPanoramaByLocation(streetViewLocation, 50, function(data, status) {
if (status == 'OK') {
//google has a streetview image for this location, so attach it to the streetview div
var panoramaOptions = {
pano: data.location.pano,
addressControl: false,
navigationControl: true,
navigationControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.NavigationControlStyle.SMALL
}
};
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById(strMapCanvasID), panoramaOptions);
}
else{
//no google streetview image for this location, so hide the streetview div
$('#' + strMapCanvasID).parent().hide();
}
});
