Route doesn't get displayed Google Maps API V3 - google-maps

For the simplicity sake I have put the code for displaying the map and the route in the function "initialize". The Map IS getting displayed, but the route is not. Please point out the error.

You have two problems.
First there is no method defined called GUnload.
Second, the directions you are trying to get returns ZERO_RESULTS. You can always try to alert status to see whether it returns any directions. If it doesn't nothing will be shown.
You should try with some other locations instead and it should be fine. You can also pass it addresses instead of latlng's if you want to try that instead :)
To alert the status you could do this:
directionsService.route (request,
function (result, status)
{
alert(status);
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK)
{
directionsDisplay.setDirections (result);
}
});
}

directionsService.route is not going through?

I'm trying to get the Google Maps Javascript API working, and I've copied the tutorial and directions code, but I can't get directionsService.route to work. Here is my code.
var directionsDisplay;
var directionsService;
var map;
function initialize() {
directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
directionsDisplay = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer({map:map});
var chicago = new google.maps.LatLng(41.850033, -87.6500523);
var mapOptions = {
zoom:9,
center: chicago
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), mapOptions);
directionsDisplay.setMap(map);
console.log(google.maps);
console.log(directionsDisplay);
console.log(directionsService);
console.log(directionsService.route);
}
$(document).ready(function() {
function calcRoute() {
// console.log(map);
var start = document.getElementById("origin").value;
var end = document.getElementById("destination").value;
console.log('start');
console.log(start);
console.log('end');
console.log(end);
var request = {
origin:start,
destination:end,
travelMode: google.maps.TravelMode.DRIVING
};
console.log(request);
console.log(google.maps);
console.log(google.maps.DirectionsService);
console.log(directionsDisplay);
console.log(directionsService);
console.log(directionsService.route);
directionsService.route(request, function (result, status) {
console.log('hi');
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {
directionsDisplay.setDirections(result);
}
});
};
$('#origin-search').submit(function() {
console.log('calling calcRoute');
calcRoute();
});
});
The console.log('hi') statement is never reached. Attached are the log statements from the console. I first load index, then do the $('#origin-search').submit(), then rerouted back to loading index. Note that the directionsService.route function logs differently inside initialize() than inside calcRoute().
If I move calcRoute into $(document).ready I get errors because the map isn't initialized yet. I would call calcRoute only after you are sure the map has been initialized.
Here is some working code:

Im not sure when you are using api.here.com. Maybe you can use google.maps.Geocoder like i did below. This will set lat and lng equal to your position, if its turns on in your browser of cause.
libary:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
Js:
var geocoder;
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successFunction, errorFunction);
}
//Get the latitude and the longitude;
function successFunction(position) {
var lat = position.coords.latitude;
var lng = position.coords.longitude;
codeLatLng(lat, lng)
}
function errorFunction() {
alert("Geocoder failed");
}
function codeLatLng(lat, lng) {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
geocoder.geocode({
'latLng': latlng
}, function (results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
console.log(results)
if (results[1]) {
alert("Found you! at Latitude: " +lat + " and Longitude: " +lng);
} else {
alert("No results found");
}
} else {
alert("Geocoder failed due to: " + status);
}
});

<address>Abbey Street</address>
<lat>53.3496</lat>
<lng>-6.257</lng>
</marker>
</markers>
The map is rendering but no marker is appearing on the map. I have google searched this problem but cant find anything that helps.
you are not calling loadXMLFile()
you aren't including the jquery library
you aren't creating google.maps.Markers (looks like you have syntax from some nokia API instead).

Drop Down Menu (Sidebar)

I've put together the code below to load marker data from my SQL database which correctly shows all of the information held.
I'd like to now include a drop down menu that shows the markers by their 'Location Name' and when the user selects the location the associated marker bounces. I know from some of the information that I've found that this is a sidebar? Could someone perhaps please point me in the right direction as to how I would go about adapting my code to include this.

Here's an idea:
Associate each location name with the link in the drop down menu.
Store the marker for each location.
When you click a link from the drop down menu, retrieve the marker associated with that location and simply call a function that animates it:
....
<!-- assuming this is an item from the menu -->
Location Name
....
The script:
<script type="text/javascript">
function animate(element) {
var marker = getMarkerByName(element.title);
marker.setAnimation(google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE);
setTimeout(function() { marker.setAnimation(null); }, 200);
}
function getMarkerByName(name) {
// retrieve and return the marker from where you stored it
}
</script>
...
Something like that
UPDATE:
There is basically no change... when you click the link, highlight it and call the animate function.
For highlighting the correct link on marker click, "listen" for click on each marker:
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function(event) {
// animate marker
// highlight the link associated with the marker.
});

Get a map & street view from an adress in a PHP-variable!

I have a PHP-variable called $go_Adress which contains the adress I need to get a map and a street view from. How do I do that? I have created an api-key but else I don't know how to do it!
Hope you can help.
I have just answered another question on Google Maps, and I think I can use the same example here.
The following example may help you getting started. All you would need to do is to change the JavaScript variable userLocation with the address you have in your php variable.

<body onunload="GUnload()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 400px; height: 300px"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var userLocation = 'London, UK';
if (GBrowserIsCompatible()) {
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
geocoder.getLocations(userLocation, function (locations) {

var north = locations.Placemark[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.north;
var south = locations.Placemark[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.south;
var east = locations.Placemark[0].ExtendedData.LatLonBox.east;

var bounds = new GLatLngBounds(new GLatLng(south, west),

var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("map_canvas"));
map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter(), map.getBoundsZoomLevel(bounds));
map.addOverlay(new GMarker(bounds.getCenter()));
}
});
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
The above example would render a map like the one below:
You would probably need to replace the static:
var userLocation = 'London, UK';
... with:
var userLocation = '<?php echo $go_Adress; ?>';
... as Fletcher suggested in another answer.
Note that the map will not show if the Google Client-side Geocoder cannot retreive the coordinates from the address. You may want to see how to handle this situation.
As for the API Key, you need to add it as a parameter to the <script> src that is calling the Maps API, as shown in the The "Hello, World" of Google Maps.
UPDATE:
I am updating the above example to use the Street View Panorama object. I hope that the example is self-explanatory, and that it gets you going in the right direction:

Screenshot for street view with map:
3rd UPDATE:
The Google Maps API does not have a direct method to link the movements of the street view with the map. Therefore this has to be handled manually. The following example makes the red marker draggable, and when dropped it moves the street view accordingly. In addition, each time the street view is updated, the marker is updated on the map as well.
To try this example, make sure that you insert the API Key in the <script> src parameters, and that you try it from the domain where you registered the key. Otherwise, it looks like the events do not work properly.

Getting the street view working nicely with the map could be the topic of another Stack Overflow question, as there are quite a few considerations to make.
You will need to include a javascript file which uses the GClientGeocoder object as in this example:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/services.html#Geocoding_Object
The javascript will need to be passed through a PHP interpreter which injects the address into a javascript variable.
So, for the above example
var myAddress = '<?php echo $go_Adress; ?>';
showAddress(myAddress);
But first I recommend getting a very basic map shown.
