How do I re position the infowindow in a google map?
I would like the window to open under the marker with the little indent facing up towards to the marker.
Here is my code I thought the pixeloffset would be the option to change but not sure. When I adjust the y to 70 it shows up below the marker but how do I change the indent to flip around?
$infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: "Drag the map to re-center location",
pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(0, 70), // want the window to open underneathe with the indent facing up
});
The behavior you are looking for is not (currently) supported by the native google.maps.InfoWindow. You can create a feature request in the issue tracker for the Google Maps JavaScript API v3.
For something that would work now, InfoBox might do what you are looking for, see the example in the documentation
code snippet:
function initialize() {
var secheltLoc = new google.maps.LatLng(49.47216, -123.76307);
var myMapOptions = {
zoom: 15,
center: secheltLoc,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var theMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myMapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: theMap,
draggable: true,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(49.47216, -123.76307),
visible: true
});
var boxText = document.createElement("div");
boxText.style.cssText = "border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 8px; background: white; padding: 5px; text-align: center;";
boxText.innerHTML = "Drag the map to re-center location";
var myOptions = {

};
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function(e) {
ib.open(theMap, this);
});
var ib = new InfoBox(myOptions);
ib.open(theMap, marker);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);

I have loaded geojson layer to google maps using the following code
map.data.loadGeoJson(
'http://localhost/pssp/assets/geojson/Empanel_Area_2019.geojson');
map.data.setStyle({
fillColor: 'red',
strokeColor: 'red',
strokeWeight: 1
});
)
When I try to add a marker on the data layer on the click event it will get added outside the data layer but not inside. how can I add a marker in side the polygons in the data layer.
I used the following code to add a marker on click event
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {
placeMarker(event.latLng);
});
function placeMarker(location) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
}
Add a click listener to the DataLayer as well.
map.data.addListener('click', function(event) {
placeMarker(event.latLng);
});

I am looking to create a custom infoWindow in google maps and I believe creating an infoBox is a way to do this. However, I don't see any documentation or reference to infoBox on google map's documentation. Is this feature deprecated? Should I be using customized popup instead?
The InfoBox library was never part of the Google Maps Javascript API v3. It is a third party library and is still available on GitHub.
https://github.com/googlemaps/v3-utility-library/tree/master/archive/infobox
Note: it is also available in my GitHub account:
https://github.com/geocodezip/v3-utility-library/tree/master/archive/infobox
code snippet (basic example):
function initialize() {
var secheltLoc = new google.maps.LatLng(49.47216, -123.76307);
var myMapOptions = {
zoom: 15
,center: secheltLoc
,mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var theMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myMapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: theMap,
draggable: true,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(49.47216, -123.76307),
visible: true
});
var boxText = document.createElement("div");
boxText.style.cssText = "border: 1px solid black; margin-top: 8px; background: yellow; padding: 5px;";
boxText.innerHTML = "City Hall, Sechelt<br>British Columbia<br>Canada";

This example shows the "traditional" use of an InfoBox as a replacement for an InfoWindow.
I answered my question with help from a friend - labels and building polygons with pop ups now display.
The code uses an external GeoJSON with two building coordinates, values for colors and building names. The GeoJSON is used to draw the buidling polygons, and populate infoBox window.
The labels are blank window boxes with coordinates and text hard coded. There are other examples of this on Stack Overflow, however, I was having trouble getting both functions to work. Thanks to everyone who helped.

I replaced the original question with the working code. Sorry for poor formatting and procedure, this was my first question.
Is there a way to display the marker icon in fore ground as soon the street view map is loaded, user should not pan until he sees the marker icon, i have updated the code in the below link
var fenway = new google.maps.LatLng(40.729884, -73.990988);
var mapOptions = {
center: fenway,
zoom: 14
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var panoramaOptions = {
position: fenway,
pov: {
heading: 500,
pitch: 0
}
};
var panorama = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById('pano'),panoramaOptions);
var panorama1 = new google.maps.StreetViewPanorama(document.getElementById('pano1'),panoramaOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position:fenway,
map:panorama
});
var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({
position:fenway,
map:panorama1,
});
map.setStreetView(panorama,fenway);
map.setStreetView(panorama1);
http://jsfiddle.net/vinothpsv/JKx3Z/
The trick is in "google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeHeading"

Sounds like you just want to change the heading... Not sure what you want. The marker is based on where the heading is.
I have an infobox on a clickable polylines and polygons.
When I click any of them an invisible marker is created and the infoxbox pops up for it.
The problem is that when the infoxbox appears the map dissapears.
I don't get any javascript errors.
This is my code:
(I have commented out all infoxbox features apart of the content text)
google.maps.event.addListener(mapObject, 'click', function(event) {
var invisibleMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(event.latLng),
map: map
});
var boxText = document.createElement("div");
boxText.style.cssText = "background: none; padding: 0;";
boxText.innerHTML = '<div style="margin: 0 0 20px 0;padding: 18px;background: white url(/media/images/map-marker-info-bg.gif) repeat-x top left;">' + content[0] + '</div>';
var myOptions = {
content: boxText
/*,latlng: event.latLng
,alignBottom: true
,pixelOffset: new google.maps.Size(-470, -20)
,boxStyle: {
background: "transparent url('/media/images/map-marker-info-arrow.png') no-repeat bottom right"
,opacity: 1
,width: "470px"
}
,closeBoxMargin: "18px 18px 2px 2px"
,closeBoxURL: "/media/images/map-marker-info-close.gif"
,infoBoxClearance: new google.maps.Size(5, 5)
,enableEventPropagation: false*/
};
var ib = new InfoBox(myOptions);
ib.open(map, invisibleMarker);
});
Can anybody help me resolve this issue?
Thank you
There are a couple of problems:
1) google.maps.event.addListener(mapObject, 'click', function(event)
You haven't provided your map creation code, but the variable mapObject should be a map object... That doesn't fit with any of your other references to the map object map.
2) new google.maps.LatLng(event.latLng)
You don't need to parse the event.LatLng value, it will already be a latitude/longitude value.
Here is a working example, with the corrections noted above. The InfoBox will output undefined because content[0] is undefined, but that can be any valid text you want.

I want to use similar styled InfoBox for my polylines but need to pass clicked position I think. In original simple code it was
infowindow.setContent(content[0]);
infowindow.position = event.latLng;
infowindow.open(map);
and it worked
I have no idea how to do it for InfoBox. I tried to use in InfoBox options:
latlng: event.latLng
and then:
var ib = new InfoBox(myOptions);
ib.setPosition(event.latLng);
ib.open(map, mapObject);
but I'm getting:
Error: anchor.getPosition is not a function
