I'm having trouble getting the MarkerClusterer into my current Google Map (which has taken a long time to get this far!!). How can I combine the two? I'm using V3 of the api.
Here's the MarkerClusterer code:
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419);
var options = {
'zoom': 13,
'center': center,
'mapTypeId': google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), options);
var markers = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 100; i++) {
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.photos[i].latitude,
data.photos[i].longitude);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({'position': latLng});
markers.push(marker);
}
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers);
Update: I've attempted to add the clusterer to my current code but it doesn't seem to work. Places[i] doesn't seem to feed into the clusterer.
The problem was around the geocoding. Solved with A LOT of playing around:
for (var i = 0; i < address.length; i++) {
(function(i) {
geocoder.geocode( {'address': address[i]}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
places[i] = results[0].geometry.location;
// Adding the markers
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: places[i]});
markers.push(marker);
//add the marker to the markerClusterer
markerCluster.addMarker(marker);
You just need to add each of your markers into an array, then after you've added them all, create the MarkerClusterer object
var markers = [];
// Adding a LatLng object for each city
for (var i = 0; i < marker_data1.length; i++) {
(function(i) {
geocoder.geocode( {'address': marker_data1[i]}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
places[i] = results[0].geometry.location;
// Adding the markers
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: places[i],
map: map,
title: 'Place number ' + i,
});
markers.push(marker);
// Creating the event listener. It now has access to the values of
// i and marker as they were during its creation
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
// Check to see if we already have an InfoWindow
if (!infowindow) {
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
}
// Setting the content of the InfoWindow
infowindow.setContent(marker_data[i]);
// Tying the InfoWindow to the marker
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
// Extending the bounds object with each LatLng
bounds.extend(places[i]);
// Adjusting the map to new bounding box
map.fitBounds(bounds)
} else {
alert("Geocode was not successful for the following reason: " + status);
}
});
})(i);
}
var markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers);
OK, here's a working solution. I basically stripped out things until it started to work. I think the problem might lie in the geocoder. Also you have a trailing comma at the end of var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: places[i], map: map,}); when you create the markers, which will cause problems in IE. You'll notice I'm using coordinates instead of the geocoder (which I have no experience of), but it could be a conflict betweeen geocoder and markerclusterer?

I tired to take this working example found here http://www.geocodezip.com/SO_OverQueryLimitB.html and add the following code into it:
///get array of markers currently in cluster
var allMarkers = mc.getMarkers();
//check to see if any of the existing markers match the latlng of the new marker
if (allMarkers.length != 0) {
for (i=0; i < allMarkers.length; i++) {
var existingMarker = allMarkers[i];
var pos = existingMarker.getPosition();
if (latlng.equals(pos)) {
text = text + " & " + content[i];
}
}
}
So that the final result when you click on a marker that has the same latlng it would display one info window with the merged text like the one found here http://maps.caseypthomas.org/ex/MarkerClustererPlus/exCoincidentMarkers_SharedInfowindow_wGeocoding.html See it shows the number 4 but displays only 3 markers that's because the one on the right side is merged with another one behind it and when you click on it it shows you the text for both. only I would like to use geocodezip's example and work on top of that since I already have the cords and don't need google to go get them for me.
Thank you for just reading this LONG Question if noting else..
and Thank you 1Mill X over if you can help me find a solution.
Thanks again!!!
You need to :
create the marker clusterer first.
add the markers to the MarkerClusterer (and format your code so it is easier to read...).
function createMarker(latlng,text) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map
});
///get array of markers currently in cluster
var allMarkers = mc.getMarkers();
//check to see if any of the existing markers match the latlng of the new marker

}
}
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.close();
infowindow.setContent(text);
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
mc.addMarker(marker);
return marker;

below is the code for displaying a Google map with multiple markers. The markers data is coming from DB so it can contain 1 location or multiple locations.
For multiple markers the map is centered and auto zoomed. The problem is if there is only 1 marker , the map zoom in to maximum level. Can someone guide me how to fix the zooming for single marker.

google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {

call map.fitBounds(bounds) only when there are more than 1 marker
This is my html code. I've try anything to add an infowindow on the markers but it don't wanna work. My data is loading from the "Alle_Ortswahlen.page1.xml" file.
Do anyone have an idea how can I add infoWindow to each marker?
<script type="text/javascript">
google.load('maps', '3', {
other_params: 'sensor=false'
});
google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
function initialize() {
var stack = [];
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(48.136, 11.586);
var options = {
'zoom': 5,
'center': center,
'mapTypeId': google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), options);
GDownloadUrl("Alle_Ortswahlen.page1.xml", function(doc) {
var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc);
var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("ROW");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
// obtain the attribues of each marker
var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field4"));
var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field6"));
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position : new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
map: map,
title:"This is a marker"
});
stack.push(marker);
}
var mc = new MarkerClusterer(map,stack);
});
}
</script>
Before the for cycle, make an empty infowindow object.
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
Than in the for cycle, after the marker, add an event listener, like this:
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
infowindow.setContent("You might put some content here from your XML");
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
There is some closure magic happening when passing the callback argument to the addListener method. If you are not familiar with it, take a look at here:
Mozilla Dev Center: Working with Closures
So, your code should look something like this:
google.load('maps', '3', {
other_params: 'sensor=false'
});
google.setOnLoadCallback(initialize);
function initialize() {
var stack = [];
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(48.136, 11.586);
var options = {
'zoom': 5,
'center': center,
'mapTypeId': google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), options);
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
GDownloadUrl("Alle_Ortswahlen.page1.xml", function(doc) {
var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc);
var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("ROW");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
// obtain the attribues of each marker
var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field4"));
var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field6"));
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position : new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
map: map,
title:"This is a marker"
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
infowindow.setContent("You might put some content here from your XML");
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));
stack.push(marker);
}
var mc = new MarkerClusterer(map,stack);
});
}
So what you need to do is add some code, inside your for-loop, associating an infowindow onclick event handler with each marker. I'm assuming you only want to have 1 infowindow showing at a time, i.e. you click on a marker, the infowindow appears with relevant content. If you then click on another marker, the first infowindow disappears, and a new one reappears attached to the other marker. Rather than having multiple infowindows all visible at the same time.
GDownloadUrl("Alle_Ortswahlen.page1.xml", function(doc) {
var xmlDoc = GXml.parse(doc);
var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("ROW");
// just create one infowindow without any content in it
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: ''
});
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
// obtain the attribues of each marker
var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field4"));
var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("Field6"));
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position : new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
map: map,
title:"This is a marker"
});
// add an event listener for this marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker , 'click', function() {
// assuming you have some content in a field called Field123
infowindow.setContent(markers[i].getAttribute("Field123"));
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
stack.push(marker);
}
var mc = new MarkerClusterer(map,stack);
});
How can I reset the bounds of a GoogleMap when user selects an option? Bounds have already been set to include a 'big picture' of the area, I want to zoom to a specfic area when the user selects an option...and need to do so by resetting the bounds. Extending to include the lat/longs won't work, as they are already included.
You have to create a new bounds object, add the map points to it, and then add the bounds object to the map.
Condensed solution:
//Create new bounds object
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
//Loop through an array of points, add them to bounds
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var geoCode = new google.maps.LatLng(data[i][1], data[i][2]);
bounds.extend(geoCode);
}
//Add new bounds object to map
map.fitBounds(bounds);
My complete solution for removing existing markers, getting an updated array of points via ajax, adding them to the map, and then resetting the map boundries.
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
var markers = [];
$(document).ready(function () {
initialize();
setInterval(function () {
setMarkers();
}, 3000);
});
google.maps.visualRefresh = true;
function initialize()
{
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 2,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(45, -93),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
setMarkers();
}
function setMarkers()
{
removeMarkers();
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
$.ajax({
url: "/Your/Url?variable=123",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
//Data returned is made up of string[3]
if (data != null) {
//loop through data
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var geoCode = new google.maps.LatLng(data[i][1], data[i][2]);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: geoCode,
map: map,
title: data[i][0],
content: '<div style="height:50px;width:200px;">' + data[i][0] + '</div>'
});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
infowindow.setContent(this.content);
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
markers.push(marker);
bounds.extend(geoCode);
}
}
map.fitBounds(bounds);
}
});
}
function removeMarkers()
{
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
markers[i].setMap(null);
}
}
