Are there any contextual menus available for Google Maps v3?
You can add context menu as it is decribed here How to add context menu to google maps, using api V3:
Here is a full JQuery solution : http://gmap3.net/examples/context-menu.html
Old question but it came up in my googling so I thought I would post the simplest answer. It's a context menu without the use of more 3rd party js libraries. There's also a latlon object in the event that you can get the lat/lon for where the person clicked, to add a maker or whatever.
var contextMenu = google.maps.event.addListener(
map,
"rightclick",
function (event) {
// use JS Dom methods to create the menu
// use event.pixel.x and event.pixel.y
// to position menu at mouse position
$('.contextmenu').remove(); //remove previous context menus
contextmenuDir = document.createElement("div");
contextmenuDir.className = 'contextmenu';
//now add our options.
contextmenuDir.innerHTML = '<a id="menu1"><div class="context">menu item 1<\/div><\/a>'
+ '<a id="menu2"><div class="context">menu item 2<\/div><\/a>';
$(map.getDiv()).append(contextmenuDir);
contextmenuDir.style.visibility = "visible";
// might need to offset if you have moved the map div like i did (then - the pixel size off)
$('.contextmenu').css('left', event.pixel.x );
$('.contextmenu').css('top', event.pixel.y);
console.log(event); //log some details about the object we get
});
None yet. Google working on one now.

I have a spoke in my wheels and I am not sure how to sort this out. I have been struggling with it for a couple days and it isn't like a normal infobox as it is not set to a marker rather a polygon which is something new for me. I have polygons that display with data from an XML file and they show up fine. I have searched the web and got it to have the mouseover set up to where you mouseover a polygon the opacity changes and an infobox pops up. Problem is the infobox when it pop up shows "undefined" instead of the html I have set in it to display with data from the XML file.
Here is a link to the test map for example.
http://www.mesquiteweather.net/googlemap_poly.html
Here is a link to the XML file where I am just trying to show the elements events and expires in the info box.
http://www.mesquiteweather.net/xml/warnings_test.xml
This is the code I am working with to create the infoboxes and mouseover events
function attachPolygonInfoWindow(polygon, html, event, expires)
{
var html = "<strong>" + event + "</strong>";
eventWarnings.infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({content: html});
google.maps.event.addListener(eventWarnings, 'mouseover', function(e) {
var latLng = e.latLng;
this.setOptions({fillOpacity:80});
polygon.infoWindow.setPosition(latLng);
polygon.infoWindow.open(map);
});
google.maps.event.addListener(eventWarnings, 'mouseout', function() {
this.setOptions({fillOpacity:0.35});
polygon.infoWindow.close();
});
}
var polygon = new google.maps.Polygon(/* omitted for brevity */);
attachPolygonInfoWindow(eventWarnings);
eventWarnings.setMap(map);
}
});
I am pretty sure it is something easy I am overlooking but I haven't been able to find anything that pertains to my issue. I am just lucky I got the infobox to show at all as I have learned it's tricky since polygons don't have a true center and they are not set up like you would with a marker which I can handle.
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
-Thanks
You defined your attachPolygonInfoWindow function with 4 argument, but only provide one when you call it:
// definition
function attachPolygonInfoWindow(polygon, html, event, expires)
...
// call
attachPolygonInfoWindow(eventWarnings);
Probably you want (I don't see the html or expires parameters being used):
attachPolygonInfoWindow(eventWarnings, "", event, null);
The other option would be to change the definition to:
// definition
function attachPolygonInfoWindow(polygon, event, expires)
and the call to (assuming you are going to use "expires" for something):
attachPolygonInfoWindow(eventWarnings, event, expires);
As it doesn't look like you need to pass in that parameter (event is serving the function that I would expect it to serve).
Also, FYI, you have a "hanging comma" in your alertColors.js which make IE unhappy...
example
I'm creating a Google Map from the developer API v3. It's populated with markers created dynamically from ColdFusion querying an MsSQL database.
<cfloop query="One">
<script>locations[<cfoutput>#One.userID#</cfoutput>
] = new google.maps.LatLng(<cfoutput>#One.latLng#</cfoutput>);
</script>
</cfloop>
I need a way to recognise the marker when its clicked so I can display address details in a box below the map and also higlight markers when a button is clicked lower on the page.
In general, you would typically assign your own custom properties to the Marker. Something like:
function markerClicked(e) {
console.log('Marker ' + marker.myData + ' has been clicked');
}
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(...);
marker.myData = 1; //this could be arbitrary data or even another object
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', markerClicked);
Adding custom data to any Google Maps API object has risks though. Google's code is obfuscated and the internal (non-documented) properties can and do change. Make sure your property is named in such a way that it won't conflict with any existing property or future property. Tip: Choose a property name longer than 3 letters.
If you are going to minify/compile/compress your maps code, then there are additional considerations.
What about :
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function (e) {
var clicked = this;
//...
});
This is pretty thoroughly documented/explained in the documentation.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays#InfoWindows
When you create markers, add dom listeners to the markers like this
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
I did draggable directions according to Google manual:
ren = new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer( {'draggable':true} );
ser = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
google.maps.event.addListener(ren, 'directions_changed', function() {
// here I can load map, etc... everything works.
});
But, what should I do, if I want to change route options before next drag. I want exactly toggle avoidHighways and avoidTolls to true/false.
Is it even possible or not?
Both properties are options of a directionsRequest, so you'll have to request the route again(based on the current origin/destination) with the desired options.
I've already subclass my overlay object under the instruction of google document, and my onAdd() function is listed below:
MyOverlay.onAdd() {
var div_parent = document.createElement("DIV");
var div_child = document.createElement("DIV");
div_child.innerHTML = "Click Me";
div_parent.appendChild( div_child );
this.getPanes().overlayLayer.appendChild(div_parent);
var this = that;
google.maps.event.addDomListener( div_parent, 'click', function(){
google.maps.event.trigger(that, 'click'); // from [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3361823/make-custom-overlay-clickable-google-maps-api-v3]
alert("Clicked");
} );
}
My code can work well ONLY in IE, but in Firefox and Chrome, the click event will not be triggered anymore.
So how to solve the problem?
Instead of using overlayLayer mapPanes, you should use overlayMouseTarget.
Reference: http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays.html#CustomOverlays
I know this is an old post, but if you were wondering, here is the solution:
In your code above, you need to change the overlay function from:
this.getPanes().overlayLayer.appendChild(div_parent);
to:
this.getPanes().overlayMouseTarget.appendChild(div_parent);
Also note although your click events will be captured on desktop even if you use overlay pane, for touch events to work, mouse target pane is necessary.
I've happily implemented v2 of Google maps to my site without a hitch, I also successfully perform a drive directions using GDirections.load().
What I need to do is stop the popup of the mini map when you select a particular step in the routing directions. So when the user clicks on say "step 3", instead of the default popup showing a mini map, I'd like to add a custom icon to that position.
Hope it makes sense
Thanks in advance guys.
You need to add a handler on the GDirections object for the addoverlay event:
GEvent.addListener(gdir, "addoverlay", onGDirectionsAddOverlay);
When your onGDirectionsAddOverlay handler is called you can iterate through the new markers and replace them with copies that open your custom info window:
for (var i = 0; i <= gdir.getNumRoutes(); i++)
{
var originalMarker = gdir.getMarker(i);
latLngs[i] = originalMarker.getLatLng();
icons[i] = originalMarker.getIcon();
newMarkers[i] = new GMarker(latLngs[i], { icon: icons[i], draggable: true, title: 'Kan flyttes' });
map.addOverlay(newMarkers[i]);
// add stuff to your newMarkers[i] click event...
// ..
// Now we can remove the original marker safely
map.removeOverlay(originalMarker);
}
