I've seen this tool which let you draw a line on gmaps and it generates the js code for you
So the JS is:
var myCoordinates = [
new google.maps.LatLng(48.955410,10.034749),
new google.maps.LatLng(59.648652,29.898030)
];
var polyOptions = {
path: myCoordinates,
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 1,
strokeWeight: 3
}
var it = new google.maps.Polyline(polyOptions);
it.setMap(map);
What I would like to do is to start the line from a pin I receive and not a pin I set when I click as per that tool and then I would to draw a infobox at the end of that line (so not where it starts form the pin).
What I am aiming for is to draw a line form a starting point and have an infobox such as per this image below, see the lines on the map
Therefore I can pass the coords here:
new google.maps.LatLng(48.955410,10.034749),
new google.maps.LatLng(59.648652,29.898030)
But how would I target the end of the line and place text there?
With this answer I can define a start and end, but how to draw a box at the end point?
I think you can do it using a marker at the end point of the line, then attaching, for example an infoWindow, at the end and finally hiding the marker.
function initMap() {
var coordinates = {
lat: 40.785845,
lng: -74.020496
};
var coordinates2 = {
lat: 40.805845,
lng: -74.130496
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 10,
center: coordinates,
scrollwheel: false
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: coordinates,
map: map
});
var infoMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: coordinates2,
map: map
});
var infowWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var line = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: [
marker.position,
infoMarker.position
],
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 1,
strokeWeight: 3
});
line.setMap(map);
infowWindow.setContent("<b>Hello world!</b>");
infowWindow.open(map, infoMarker);
infoMarker.setVisible(false);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initMap);

My problem is: I need to draw with mode POLYGON with a initial point, like a marker or another element. For example - JSFiddle Example
With marker:
var initialPosition = new google.maps.Marker({
position: {
lat: -22.397542,
lng: -46.884630
}
});
This position is given without any user interaction. How can I do that?
In my example, how can I draw a polygon starting from marker without click it, making marker position my first polygon point?
You could do the following: use addListenerOnce to detect a click on the map (only once). This will allow to create a Polygon that goes from your marker position, to where the user clicked, and back to the marker position.
By setting the editable property to true, you can then move each Polygon point separately, and add segments by dragging the existing segment(s) middle point(s).
Here is a working example:
function initialize() {
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(46.2, 6.17);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map
});
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'click', function(e) {
var origin = marker.getPosition();
var coords = [
origin,
e.latLng,
origin,
];
var poly = new google.maps.Polygon({
map: map,
paths: coords,
editable: true,
strokeColor: '#FF0000',
strokeOpacity: 0.8,
strokeWeight: 2,
fillColor: '#FF0000',
fillOpacity: 0.35
});
});
}
initialize();
#map-canvas {
height: 150px;
}
<div id="map-canvas"></div>

i'm creating a Marker layer on my Google Map, and then adding pins. These get added to this layer. I want to add a hover effect which is basically a circle behind the pin.
I was going to just use CSS, however I can't add a before or after to the image, so I need to get the parent element and add it to this. However the Google Maps API doesn't give you access to the Pin element.
var markerLayer = new google.maps.OverlayView();
markerLayer.draw = function () {
this.getPanes().markerLayer.id='markerLayer';
};
markerLayer.setMap(_.map);
// Create pin and store it
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(location.lat, location.lng),
icon: marker,
title: location.name,
optimized: false
});
_.markers.push(marker);
Below is a screenshot of what the marker object contains, and as you can see there is no reference to the HTMLElement.
My only though was to search the #markerLayer div for images and storing them, assuming that these will appear in the same order as they are added to the _.markers property.
Or would a better way be to create a Circle using the API and putting it in the same position as the pin?
I used the Google Maps Circle to create a circle shape, when hovering to markers.
here is the link to doc:
(https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/circle-simple)
Check this addMarker function
function addMarker(position) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map
});
var markerCircle = new google.maps.Circle({
strokeColor: '#FF0000',
strokeOpacity: 0.8,
strokeWeight: 2,
fillColor: '#FF0000',
fillOpacity: 0.35,
center: position,
radius: 500000
});
circles.push(markerCircle);
markers.push(marker);
marker.addListener('mouseover', function() {
var index = markers.indexOf(marker);
circles[index].setMap(map);
});
marker.addListener('mouseout', function(){
var index = markers.indexOf(marker);
circles[index].setMap(null);
});
return marker;
}
I made a simple app, that will add markers by clicking on the map.
Check this working example: http://jsbin.com/nukecog/2/edit?html,js,output
var map;
var markers = [];
var circles = [];
function initMap() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 2,
center: {
lat: 0,
lng: 0
}
});
map.addListener('click', function(e) {
addMarker(e.latLng);
});
}
function addMarker(position) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map
});
var markerCircle = new google.maps.Circle({
strokeColor: '#FF0000',
strokeOpacity: 0.8,
strokeWeight: 2,
fillColor: '#FF0000',
fillOpacity: 0.35,
center: position,
radius: 500000
});
circles.push(markerCircle);
markers.push(marker);
marker.addListener('mouseover', function() {
var index = markers.indexOf(marker);
circles[index].setMap(map);
});
marker.addListener('mouseout', function() {
var index = markers.indexOf(marker);
circles[index].setMap(null);
});
return marker;
}

Hey there i´m trying to find a way to just increase the length of a line without changing the orientation
i tried this with Polyline
var map;
function initMap() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: {lat: 37.4419, lng: -122.1419},
zoom: 8
});
var line = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: [new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), new google.maps.LatLng(37.4519, -122.1519)],
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 10,
geodesic: true,
map: map
});
}
and it works as expected
but i rather want it like
or
i only have the two coordinates from first example
it should be geodesic and theoreticaly idealy arround the globe back at same start so it will be like endless
i also tried to find out a way to calculate the some more far coordinates but searching is a mess because everboidy want to be found for caluclating distances.
so having two coordinates following the "line-through orientation" of but have high distance like some thousand kilometers pls let me know
You can use the Google Maps Javascript API Geometry library to compute the heading of the line and extend it an arbitrarily long distance along that heading.
code snippet::
var map;
function initMap() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: {
lat: 37.4419,
lng: -122.1419
},
zoom: 8
});
var line = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: [new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419), new google.maps.LatLng(37.4519, -122.1519)],
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 10,
geodesic: true,
map: map
});
// extend line from each end along its existing heading
// pick 20e6 meters as an arbitrary length
var lineHeading = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeHeading(line.getPath().getAt(0), line.getPath().getAt(1));
var newPt0 = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeOffset(line.getPath().getAt(0), 20000000, lineHeading);
line.getPath().insertAt(0, newPt0);
var newPt1 = google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeOffset(line.getPath().getAt(1), 20000000, lineHeading + 180);
line.getPath().push(newPt1);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initMap);

Trying to add some data to circle markers.
The circles are already markers for specific locations, but I want to make them vary in size depending on a count that corresponds to that location. I cannot seem to find any code to make markers of variable size, since each marker is most likely going to have a unique number of contacts. Any ideas?
Here's the code I have now for markers. I know its not right, since it's not producing what I want.
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/circle-simple <---This is the effect that I am looking for, but I don't understand how to get the values for size to change based on the data entered in the table.
You can set the marker radius to an integer returned by a function. Or it can be an expression.
Here is a JsFiddle with a working example where the count attribute in the XML is set by an expression.
function initMap() {
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(47.6685771, -122.2553681),
myOptions = {
zoom: 12,
center: myLatLng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
},
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), myOptions);
var markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; ++i) {
var marker = markers[i];
var name = marker.getAttribute("location");
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(
parseFloat(marker.getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(marker.getAttribute("long")));
var cityCircle = new google.maps.Circle({
strokeColor: '#FF0000',
strokeOpacity: 0.8,
strokeWeight: 2,
fillColor: '#FF0000',
fillOpacity: 0.35,
map: map,
center: point,
radius: marker.getAttribute("count") * 75
});
}
}
https://jsfiddle.net/plbogen/ecj8o4uL
I have the following code to highlight an area on google maps using the javascript v3 api.
// Maps
$(document).ready(function(){
if($(document).find("map_canvas"))
Maps.init();
});
var Maps = {};
//The map to display
Maps.map;
//List of markers
Maps.markers = new Array();
Maps.markers.previous;
Maps.lines = new Array();
Maps.lines.toStart;
Maps.area;
//init the map
Maps.init = function() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-39.483715,176.8942277),
zoom: 15,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
Maps.map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(Maps.map, 'click', function(event){Maps.addMarker(event.latLng);});
}
//Add a marker to the maps
Maps.addMarker = function(latLng){
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: Maps.map
});
Maps.markers.push(latLng);
console.log(Maps.markers.length);
if(Maps.markers.length > 1){
Maps.drawLine([Maps.markers.previous, latLng]);
}
Maps.markers.previous = latLng;
}
Maps.drawLine = function(path){
var Line = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: path,
strokeColor: "#FF0000",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 2
});
Line.setMap(Maps.map);
if(Maps.markers.length > 2){
if(Maps.lines.toStart != null)
Maps.lines.toStart.setMap(null);
Maps.lines.toStart = new google.maps.Polyline({
path: [path[path.length - 1], Maps.markers[0]],
strokeColor: "#0000FF",
strokeOpacity: 1.0,
strokeWeight: 2
});
Maps.lines.toStart.setMap(Maps.map);
if(Maps.area != null)
Maps.area.setMap(null);
Maps.area = new google.maps.Polygon({
paths: Maps.markers,
strokeColor: "#000000",
strokeOpacity: 0,
strokeWeight: 0,
fillColor: "#FF0000",
fillOpacity: 0.35
});
Maps.area.setMap(Maps.map);
}
}
It works perfectly as expected an produces a result like so....
But the problem is, is that I need to add markers inside the polygon for obvious reasons. When I click on the polygon expecting a marker to be added the polygon seems to be getting the clicks and not the maps. Is there anyway to get around this? Or make it so only the map receives the clicks?
There is a clickable property in the polygon options. Set that to false and the polygon will ignore clicks and the event will fall through to the map.
