When I open Google Maps using google map URL for the first time(if google map is not running in background) direction will not show. If google map is running in background then direction will show properly. I am working on Cordova, in android, this issue is not there but in iOS, I am getting this issue.
My code is:
I used all these URL but it's not working in iOS if Google Maps is not running in the background.
var mapLocationUrl = "https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=current location&daddr=" + lat + "," long;
var mapLocationUrl = "https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=" + lat + "," + long + "&travelmode=driving";
var mapLocationUrl = "maps://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=" + lat + "," + long + "&ll=";
var mapLocationUrl = "comgooglemaps://?saddr=&daddr=" + lat + "," + long;
var mapLocationUrl = "https://maps.google.com/maps?origin=My Location" + "&daddr=" + lat + "," + long;
var mapLocationUrl = "https://maps.google.com/maps?daddr=" + lat + "," + lng;
window.open(encodeURI(mapLocationUrl), '_self', 'location=yes');
window`.open(encodeURI(mapLocationUrl), '_system', 'location=yes');
It looks like this may be related to issue 142856429 in Google’s Issue Tracker. I recommend you star the issue to get updates on its progress.
Edit: The issue is now fixed as per the recent comment on the tracker.

I'm creating a simple application to get the user's coordinates, plug them into the Forecast API, and get back the current weather. Things seem to be working smoothly for the first 2 parts but when it's all put together, the coordinates are not passed properly into the API call even though they are printed just fine. Pretty confused and appreciate any help.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>Here's the weather:<p>
<p id="weather"><p>
<p>Here's the coordinates:<p>
<p id="coordinates"><p>
<button onclick="b()">Submit</button>
<script>
function b(){
var apiKey = 'b04dbf475994a98f5849aa6856a4596d';
var url = 'https://api.forecast.io/forecast/';
var data;
var lati = 0;
var longi = 0;
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(getCoordinates);
function getCoordinates(position) {
lati = position.coords.latitude;
longi = position.coords.longitude;
}
$.getJSON(url + apiKey + "/" + lati + "," + longi + "?callback=?", function(data) {
console.log(data);
$('#weather').html(data.currently.temperature);
$('#coordinates').html(lati + "," + longi);
});
}
</script>

Try adding the $.get into your function that collects the geolocation. I suspect that is asynchronous.
function getCoordinates(position) {
lati = position.coords.latitude;
longi = position.coords.longitude;
$.getJSON(url + apiKey + "/" + lati + "," + longi + "?callback=?", function(data) {
console.log(data);
$('#weather').html(data.currently.temperature);
$('#coordinates').html(lati + "," + longi);
});
}
i'm using phone gap and I got the geolocation working like so:
function onDeviceReady() {
//navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError);
var options = { frequency: 3000 };
watchID = navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(onSuccess, onError, options);
}
function onSuccess(position) {
lat = position.coords.latitude;
long = position.coords.longitude;
var element = document.getElementById('geolocation');
element.innerHTML = 'Latitude: ' + lat + '<br />' +
'Longitude: ' + long + '<br />' +
'<hr />' + element.innerHTML;
}
But I get the wrong latitude and longitude when testing in xCode. Is that normal?
Thanks
I believe you can go to the Debug -> Location option in the iOS simulator to change the GPS co-ordinates.
I have a google map.
And there's an information window.
Now the size is standard and there r loads of texts inside.
So, my boss asked me to increase it.
We are useing ektron CMS and thus I need to go into ektron workarea and edit map.js
Even if it is ektron, it is still using google map.
I managed to find out which part is displaying as info window.
This is the part of code where info window pops up and display information inside.
marker = new GMarker(point, icon);
var infoWindow = map.getInfoWindow();
GEvent.addListener(marker, "mouseover", function () {
if (EMap.SearchData != 'content') {
if (qlink && qlink.length > 0) {
_userTB = '<span>' + title + '</span>';
}
else {
_userTB = title;
}
var theHtml1 = '<div id="IW_' + markerid + '" style="overflow:auto;width:240px;height:100px;">' + markerid + '. ' + _userTB + _summarytxt + '<br/>' + EGlobal.Format(EMap.Geolocation, new Array('javascript:EMap.SetAddress(\'' + EGlobal.Replace(address, '#', ' ') + '\',\'to\');', 'javascript:EMap.SetAddress(\'' + EGlobal.Replace(address, '#', ' ') + '\',\'from\');')) + '</div>';
map.openInfoWindowHtml(theHtml1);
}
else {
var theHtml2 = '<div id="IW_' + markerid + '" style="overflow:auto;width:240px;height:100px;">' + markerid + '. <span><b>' + title + '</b></span><br/>' + _summarytxt + '<br/>' + EGlobal.Format(EMap.Geolocation, new Array('javascript:EMap.SetAddress(\'' + EGlobal.Replace(address, '#', ' ') + '\',\'to\');', 'javascript:EMap.SetAddress(\'' + EGlobal.Replace(address, '#', ' ') + '\',\'from\');')) + '</div>';
marker.openInfoWindowHtml(theHtml2);
}
});
I try to search on google and found out that this is how a guy tried to change the info window size.
var infoWindow = map.getInfoWindow();
var point = new GLatLng(0,0);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
GEvent.bind(marker,”click”,marker,function() {
map.openInfoWindowHtml(this.getPoint(),this.address,{onOpenFn:function(){
infoWindow.reset(this.getPoint(),infoWindow.getTabs(),new GSize(200,200),null,null);
}});
});
The full article is on this site.
But I cannot merge them into 1.
especially that guy is using map.openInfoWindowHtml() with 3 parameters and ektron is using marker.openInfoWindowHtml() with only one parameter.
Any idea how to get this done? Tkz a lot.
And.. I am very new to google map. So, forgive me if my question is wasting your time.
Maybe this answer is too simple but did you allready tried to edit this line in the openInfoWindowHTML() call?
style="overflow:auto;width:240px;height:100px;">
I have images to overlay on google maps by using checkboxes. I made this script to not create the separate individual script for each overlay but it returns the error of proprty not supported in main.js of google maps api. However, i tried getting the output value in javascript alert and it returns the values as expected. Could anyone help please?
Here is the script.
function shImg(url,lat,lng) {
var lat_ = "new GLatLng(" + lat + ")";
var lng_ = "new GLatLng(" + lng + ")";
var latlng = lat_ + ", " + lng_;
var ticked_ = document.getElementById(url);
var boundaries_ = "new GLatLngBounds(" + latlng + ")";
var imgurl_ = "http://www.mywebsite.com/" + url + ".jpg";
imageOverlay_ = new GGroundOverlay(imgurl_, boundaries_);
map.addOverlay(imageOverlay_);
if (!ticked_.checked) {
map.clearOverlays();
// imageOverlay_=null;
}
else {
alert(boundaries_);
imageOverlay_.show();
}
}
The GLatLng constructor takes two arguments, a latitude and a longitude. Similarly GlatLngBounds takes two arguments, a GlatLng for the south west corner and one for the north east. See the api docs for more info.
Lastly why are you doing string concatenation all over the place? For example "new GLatLng(" + lat + ")"; should be new GLatLng(lat,lng);
I've stepped into a new position and am tasked with cleaning up pre-existing code. I will be posting a Javascript function for building hotel reservations by using a base URL and then carrying over variables to the other site.
More clearly, this function allows your to access Site A and search for hotel reservations on Site B. The function makes this even clearer.
function buildReservationURL(){
var site = "http://ach.travel.yahoo.net/hotel/HotelCobrand.do?smls=Y&Service=YHOE&.intl=us&.resform=YahooHotelsCity&";
<!-- Variables Are Defined Here from Form Values //-->
var finishedURL = site + "city=" + cityname + "&state=" + statename + "&dateLeavingDay=" + inDay + "&dateReturningDay=" + outDay + "&adults=" + adults + "&source=YX&distance=&hotelChain=&searchMode=city&cityCountryCode=us&&dateLeavingMonth=" + inMonth + "&dateReturningMonth=" + outMonth;
NewWindow(finishedURL,'Yahoo Travel','780','580','yes','no','1');
}
However, I am receiving an error in IE that gives zero information. The error occurs prior to a window being created so I feel the error would reside somewhere in the function where it is created and the URL is built. This does work fine in FireFox. Any ideas?
Could it be you're using a version of IE that doesn't support spaces in the window name? ("Yahoo Travel" in your example.)
Use IE8's debugger and use "break on error." If it doesn't break in IE8, turn on compatibility view. That uses the IE7 javascript engine while still giving you IE8 debugging facilities.
function NewWindow(mypage,myname,w,h,scroll, menu, res) {
var winl = (screen.width - w) / 2;
var wint = (screen.height - h) / 2;
winprops = 'height=' + h + ',width=' + w + ',top=' + wint + ',left=' + winl + ',scrollbars=' + scroll +
', resizable=' + res + ', location=no, directories=no, status=yes, menubar=' + menu;
win = window.open(mypage,myname,winprops);
if(parseInt(navigator.appVersion) > 3){
win.window.focus();
}
}
