I am using a google maps custom control. I would like a text link outside of the map (on another place on the page) to interact with the control. Basically I want to be able to trigger a click on the custom control.
Does anyone have advice or assistance on how this can be accomplished?
This also relates to Using custom control with Google Maps KeyDragZoom - how to activate drag zoom? , decided to make a question more general.
Try directly selecting it by source:
$('img[src=http://maps.gstatic.com/mapfiles/ftr/controls/dragzoom_btn.png]').click();
If you are trying to make KeyDragZoom turn on/off when you click on a link outside the map, you can set the onclick event on the link to run a function like this:
function toggleClickZoom() {
var myKeyDragZoom = map.getDragZoomObject();
myKeyDragZoom.buttonDiv_.onclick(document.createEvent('MouseEvent'));
}
I've managed to create custom zoom in and zoom out buttons outside the map:

The accepted answer assumes that the zoom control is on the map. If visualEnabled is false, the dragzoom_btn image will not exist, nor will buttonDiv_.
Until external controls are officially supported, this hack seems to work:
function onZoomClick() {
var myKeyDragZoom = map.getDragZoomObject();
myKeyDragZoom.hotKeyDown_ = !myKeyDragZoom.hotKeyDown_;
}
When clicked, the zoom mode is turned on. When clicked again or the rectangle is drawn, zoom mode is automatically turned off.

I am using the the Google Maps JavaScript API v3. I have a map that has markers on each state. When I click the state marker, I need access to the state abbreviation in the callback function. Is there any way native to google maps that I can access the state of a marker?
google.maps.event.addListener(mark,'click',function(event){
// how can I access the state abbreviation (e.g. 'MO') from in here?
}
I know that I can probably accomplish this via reverse geocoding, but is there any simpler (and less error-prone) way?
If this can only be accomplished using reverse geocoding, what is the simplest code to access the state? I assume my code would look something like this:
google.maps.event.addListener(mark,'click',function(event){
geocoder.geocode({'latLng': event.latLng}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
... get state from results ...
}
}
}
What would be the simplest code to get the state from the results? Based on the documentation of the address component types, I assume I would be looking for the "short_name" of the "administrative_area_level_1". Is this correct? Is there an easier way to access it than looping over the results until I find the "administrative_area_level_1"? (I have jquery included on the page and so can code with it if it makes anything simpler)
Here's a working example:

As part of a much bigger project, we're trying to get a Map on a site using Google's Map API v3. I have followed the simplest steps that Google has laid out, I've tried copying code outright from other working maps. But no matter what I do, all we get is a gray box and no map.
Using Firebug, I can see the information trying to populate the map, but it is simply not displaying. I've tried jquery, jquery libraries specifically made for google maps, nothing is working. I have been up and down the internet and all through google's api help files. Plus, the problem is not local as I've uploaded the file to multiple servers and tested it on multiple browsers and computers. Nothing is working.
At this point it's got to be something stupid that I'm overlooking. Here's my code.

This works for me. You simply have to set zoom parameter:
UPDATE (by #user2652379): You need to set BOTH zoom and center options. Just zoom does not work.

Another case is when map container is hidden at the moment you initialize the map. E.g. you are doing it inside bootstrap show.bs.modal event, instead of shown.bs.modal
I had the same issue and came across a lot of topics on stackoverflow but none of them had the working solution for me. I eventually found out it was caused to a line of css I had added.
All the elements in the map inherited a
overflow:hidden;
By adding the following line to my CSS it was fixed
#map * {
overflow:visible;
}
I would like to add a quick comment to this since I had the same problem with the zoom parameter set.
I found out that the problem was my theme's css. In my base theme I had the following CSS:
img, embed, object, video {
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 100%;
width: auto;
height: auto;
}
This messed up the rendering of the map and after I removed it, my map renders just fine.
Also beware of having an invalid latitude or longitude value for the map center or your markers. For example, this fiddle shows the Grey Map Of Death because the map center is at latitude 131.044 which is invalid (not from +90:-90).
function initMap() {
var uluru = {lat: 131.044, lng: -25.363};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: uluru
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: uluru,
map: map
});
}
In my case, I was working on a map with vue and a modal in the iview library; and during the first render it worked, but any other render displayed the grey screen of death. I fixed the issue by setting a timeout function to display the map after 50 ms to give the modal enough time to render and be visible.
//Time out is crucial for the map to load when opened with vue
setTimeout(() => {
this.showMap(id);
}, 50);
The above example was an earlier fix and a quick hack, i have realized all you need to do is wait for the next tick, on vue you can achieve this by
async mounted(){
await this.$nextTick()
this.showMap(id)
}
or if you are not comfortable with async await you can try the callback option
mounted(){
Vue.nextTick(function () {
this.showMap(id)
})
}
I had the same issue. i was using google maps in Jquery Accordion and when i expand the div the map only consisted a grayed area. I was able to solve this issue by triggering a click event on the specified accordion heading and setting the map container to visible.
Script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
function initMap(lat, lng) {
var myCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
center: myCenter
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), mapOptions);
}
function ViewMap() {
var latlng = document.getElementById('<%=txt.ClientID%>').value.split(','); // This is where my latlng are placed: 25.12312,55.3212333
$("#showmap").show();
// Sorry for mixing up Jquery and javascript.
initMap(latlng[0], latlng[1]);
}
</script>
ASPX File/Html Markup:
<h3 id="lMap" onclick="ViewMap();"><i class="fa fa-map-o" onclick="ViewMap();"></i>Location Map</h3>
<div style="height:auto" id="showmap">
<div id="map" style="width: 850px; height: 550px; overflow: visible"></div>
</div>
I realise this is an old thread, but this may help someone in the future.
Struggled with this for hours, but after discovering that the Google Map is rendered with a grey box overlay if the map is rendered while not being visible, I used a bit of jQuery to make my application only instantiate and render the map if the map is visible, like such:
if ($("#myHomeMapHolder").is(":visible")) {
if (homemap == null) {
homemap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("myHomeMapHolder"), myOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(homemap, 'click', function (event) {
placeHomeMarker(event.latLng);
});
} else {
homemap.setCenter(myLatlng);
}
if (homemarker == null) {
homemarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: homemap,
title: "Home"
});
} else {
homemarker.setPosition(myLatlng);
}
}
And voila, my map is only rendered if the map holder is visible, so it never renders with a grey box.
For anyone wondering, myHomeMapHolder is a div which the map sits inside.
In my case, someone had dropped this little prize in some responsive.css file:
img {
max-width: 100% !important;
}
Removed that and all is fine now.
I had this issue with a site I'm working on too. We're doing some things to all <img> tags for responsiveness. This fix is working for us for the map:
img {max-width: initial !important;}
For those who might be stuck regardless of the nice solutions provided here, try setting the height and width of your container directly in the html markup instead of a stylesheet ie.
<div id="map-container" style="width: 100%; height: 300px;"></div>
happy mapping!
This may not be the case for everyone, but maybe it can help someone.
I was creating markers in my map from data attributes placed on the map element like this: data-1-lat="2" data-1-lon="3" data-text="foo". I was putting them in an array based on the order they were placed in the data attributes.
The problem is that IE and Edge (for some mad reason) invert the order of the data attributes in the HTML tag, therefore I wasn't able to correctly extract them from the data attributes.
None of the existing answers helped me because my problem was that Apollo was adding extra properties ("__typename" fields) to my MapOptions object.
In other words, the JSON looked like this:
mapOptions {"__typename":"MapOptions","center":{"__typename":"GeoCoordinates","lat":33.953056,"lng":-83.9925},"zoom":10}
Once I realized that those extra properties were problematic, this is how I solved it (using TypeScript):
function getCleanedMapOptions(mapOptionsGql: google.maps.MapOptions): google.maps.MapOptions {
const mapOptions = { ...mapOptionsGql };
const lat: number = mapOptions.center.lat as number;
const lng: number = mapOptions.center.lng as number;
const mapOptionsCleaned = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng({ lat, lng }),
zoom: mapOptions.zoom,
};
return mapOptionsCleaned;
}
export function createMap(mapOptions: google.maps.MapOptions): google.maps.Map {
const mapOptionsCleaned = getCleanedMapOptions(mapOptions);
const map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map') as HTMLElement, mapOptionsCleaned);
return map;
}
In my case (version is 3.30 when submitting this), it was because the div id MUST be "map"
<div id="map"></div>
...
document.getElementById("map")
I have published a Google Fusion table/map.
https://www.google.com/fusiontables/DataSource?docid=1bQud-ZGrJK9yBwfdasIcbU1rwJ5W9ZE53RBAeLk
My problem is that the info window does not apear when looking at the map inside html which has the map embedded. As you can see, the table is totally exposed for all users. Before I noticed this problem I had the table shared as "Everyone with the link" and thought that was the issue but no help in changing it to public.

For the layer that is loaded at init the info window shoes up fine but not the layer that is loaded when radio button is clikced. Why?
Use a proper FusionTablesLayerOptions-object as argument for google.maps.FusionTablesLayer
layer = new google.maps.FusionTablesLayer({
query: {
select: 'Geocodable address',
from: fusionTableId
}
});

This isn't hard, because when you add an info window to the map, the map scrolls to show the info window.
Make your map.
Make your sidebar.
Add markers to the map, while adding elements to the sidebar. Make the elements in the sidebar clickable, so that when you click on them you have something like this:
(This is from my own site.)
var marker =new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(searchResult.Latitude,searchResult.Longitude),
map: googleMap,
Title: searchResult.CompanyName
});
$('sideBarElement').addEvent('click', function() {
infoWindow.setContent("Some content for your info window.");
infoWindow.open(googleMap,marker);
});
When you .open() and infoWindow, the map automatically pans to display it.
( May be too late but if someone is googling for this )
Look into this question's answer which is exactly the samething I was looking for and now I found the answer Open infobox on button clicked "OUTSIDE" map ( google map v3 )
