I am trying to create an html file to show google maps. Here is the code I am using to accomplish it.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title> Map</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-container" class="col-md-6"></div>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
<script>
function init_map() {
var var_location = new google.maps.LatLng(12.989802,80.2487);
var var_mapoptions = {
center: var_location,
zoom: 14
};
var var_marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: var_location,
map: var_map,
title:"Venice"});
var var_map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-container"),
var_mapoptions);
var_marker.setMap(var_map);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', init_map);
</script>
</body>
In this code the values and latitude and longitude are manually given inside the js. But i want that latitude and longitude to be passed as url parameters.
EX : http://www.smart.com/3.html?q=12.989802,80.2487
This is because my url will be called from an app and they want to pass latitude and longitude as a parameters.
You can write code to read and parse the query string. One description of how to do that is Part 20 Passing and receiving parameters of Mike Williams' Google Maps Javascript API v2 tutorial (note that v2 is deprecated and turned off, but the same principles apply to v3).
example using "q=40.7127837,-74.0059413" (the code snippet doesn't take query parameters)
function init_map() {
var lat, lng;
// If there are any parameters at eh end of the URL, they will be in location.search
// looking something like "?q=42,-72"
// skip the first character, we are not interested in the "?"
var query = location.search.substring(1);
// split the rest at each "&" character to give a list of "argname=value" pairs
var pairs = query.split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < pairs.length; i++) {
// break each pair at the first "=" to obtain the argname and value
var pos = pairs[i].indexOf("=");
var argname = pairs[i].substring(0, pos).toLowerCase();
var value = pairs[i].substring(pos + 1).toLowerCase();
// process each possible argname - use unescape() if theres any chance of spaces
if (argname == "q") {
var coords = value.split(",");
lat = parseFloat(coords[0]);
lng = parseFloat(coords[1]);
}
}
var var_location;
if (isNaN(lat) || isNaN(lng)) {
var_location = new google.maps.LatLng(12.989802, 80.2487);
} else {
var_location = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
}
var var_mapoptions = {
center: var_location,
zoom: 14
};
var var_marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: var_location,
map: var_map,
title: "Venice"
});
var var_map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-container"),
var_mapoptions);
var_marker.setMap(var_map);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', init_map);
html,
body,
#map-container {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px
}
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>
<div id="map-container" class="col-md-6"></div>
I edited your function. Try this.
function init_map() {
var urlParams = /\?q=([^,]+),([^,]+)/.exec(window.location.search),
var_location;
if (urlParams) {
var_location = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(urlParams[1]), parseFloat(urlParams[2]));
} else {
return;
}
var var_mapoptions = {
center: var_location,
zoom: 14
};
var var_marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: var_location,
map: var_map,
title: "Venice"
});
var var_map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-container"),
var_mapoptions);
var_marker.setMap(var_map);
}
Is this the behaviour you want? Just bear in the mind. If there are no required parameters in the url function will do nothing. Make sure to put any default or doing anything else. Good luck in implementation.

I am trying to plot different markers on google maps taking data from a csv file. I am using parsecsv-0.4.3-beta to read the csv. Everything is working just fine except when I compare two fields and try to change the marker according to that. It is changing the marker but for few fields it's giving the wrong marker. I think I have made some mistake in the condition.
<?php
# include parseCSV class.
require_once('../parsecsv.lib.php');
# create new parseCSV object.
$csv = new parseCSV();
# Parse '_books.csv' using automatic delimiter detection...
$csv->auto('latlang.csv');
# ...or if you know the delimiter, set the delimiter character
# if its not the default comma...
// $csv->delimiter = "\t"; # tab delimited
# ...and then use the parse() function.
// $csv->parse('_books.csv');
//print_r ($csv->data);
?>

Here is a sample of the csv file:
In most cases it shows the right marker... some markers do not meet the condition.
Please add these lines in your code:
data.CL = Number(data.CL);
data.DL = Number(data.DL);
if (data.CL < data.DL) {
var image = image2;
}else {
var image = image1;
};
Your data was coming in string, but we are using < operator to check that so in some case it might fail. Better to convert and then check for greater or less.
I'm writing a code in order to display some pushpins on a maps, using Google Maps V3 APi (JS).
I would like to use Autozoom and Autocenter.
For this, i need to use Bound.extends() and map.fitBounds(), nevertheless, with the use of this functions i have only one pushpins...not the other...it's very strange...

In order to execute my call, i have to do this :
http://XX.XX.XX.XX/MutliMaps.html?q=MyPushPin1#myAdresse1&q=MyPushPin2#myAdresse2
Any idea where is my error? I think it's the bound.extend fonction.
You must move the code related to the bound, zoom and center inside the loop
so you first you have geocode result available (and so you don't get the error for this ) and second you can extend the bound incrementally ..

Actually nothing is displayed..
Anyone can help me please ? My API key is on the code ;)
Thanks a lot,

You have a
callback=initMap
but I see no function by this name
and similar you have
<body onunload="GUnload()">
but I see no function by this name
You must be suure you call the proper init function for display the maps and check in browser console for other errors
?q=MyFirstPoint#59.591,17.82&q=MyLastPoint#54.591,12.82

var lat = 55.653363;
var lng = 12.547604;
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng);
// set the options for zoom level and map type
var myOptions = {
zoom: 15,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
// create a map in the map_canvas div element
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
map.setCenter(latlng);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

alert(locationTest);
var text = JSON.parse(locationTest);
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var houseNumber = text.address.house_number;
var road = text.address.road;
var suburb = text.address.suburb;
var zipCode = text.address.postcode;
var city = text.address.city;

And i need to incorporate the following code :
$('#c').load('http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/reverse?format=json&lat=55.653363&lon=12.547604&zoom=18&addressdetails=1', function (response) {
console.log('response is', response);
var b = $('#c').html();
console.log('b is', b);
var a = JSON.parse(b);
console.log('a is ', a);
$('#d').html(a.address.neighbourhood);
});
Basically, this code is supposed to show a location on google maps, the location is set by long and latitude. On the marker, I want an info box to pop up with the address. The jQuery code i've found, seems to work here, but I have fallen short now that I have to include it into my JS. I hope someone can help me, I can't figure out how to implement it.
You need to add jquery script link to your tag.

Hey everybody! Im trying to use getLatLng() to geocode a list of postal/zip codes and store the generated point in the database to be placed on a map later. This is what I've got so far:
$(".geocodethis").click(function () {
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
var postalCode = $(this).siblings(".postal").val();
var id = $(this).siblings(".id").val();
geocoder.getLatLng(postalCode, function (point) {
if (!point) {
alert(postalCode + " not found");
} else {
alert(point);
var serializedPoint = $.param(point);
//Geocode(id, point);
}
});
});
function Geocode(id, point) {
alert(point);
$.post("/Demographic/Geocode/" + id, point, function () {
alert("success?");
});
}
but I'm getting this.lat is not a function in my error console when i try to serialize the point object or use it in $.post()
From my research, I understand that geocoder.getLatLng() is asynchronous, how would that affect what I'm trying to do? I'm not running this code in a loop, and I'm trying to post the point using the anonymous callback function.
How can I save the information from point to use later?
Update
Creating a marker and trying to post that still results in the this.lat is not a function in the error console.
$(".geocodethis").click(function () {
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
var postalCode = $(this).siblings(".postal").val();
var id = $(this).siblings(".id").val();
geocoder.getLatLng(postalCode, function (point) {
if (!point) {
alert(postalCode + " not found");
} else {
alert(point);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
$.post("/Demographic/Geocode/" + id, marker, function () {
alert("success?");
});
}
});
});
** Another Update **
I really need to save the geocoded address for later, even if I store the latitude/longitude values in my database and remake the marker when I'm ready to put it onto a map. Again, serializing or posting - seemingly using the point in any way other than in google maps functions gives the this.lat is not a function exception in my error log.
I'm using asp.net mvc - are there any frameworks out there that would make this easier? I really need help with this. Thanks.
If your stuck for 2 days maybe a fresh v3 start would be a good thing, this snipped does a similair job for me...
function GetLocation(address) {
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address }, function (results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
ParseLocation(results[0].geometry.location);

Have you tried this?
$(".geocodethis").click(function () {
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
var postalCode = $(this).siblings(".postal").val();
var id = $(this).siblings(".id").val();
geocoder.getLatLng(postalCode, function (point) {
if (!point) {
alert(postalCode + " not found");
} else {
alert(point);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
obj = {lat: marker.position.lat(),
lng: marker.position.lng()};
$.post("/Demographic/Geocode/" + id, obj, function () {
alert("success?");
});
}
});
});
I haven't used V2 in a long time, so I'm not sure about the exact syntax, but the point is to create an object from the information you need (lat/lng) and serialize that.
Also, an upgrade to V3 is much recommended, if plausible.
You need to set a marker on the map, which takes a lat/long. You can save that info however you want or display immediately. (Code truncated for demo purpose)
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("Map"), myOptions);
geocoder.geocode({ 'address': address }, function (results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: results[0].geometry.location
});
marker.setMap(map);
}
}
UPDATE (FOR v2)
$(".geocodethis").click(function () {
var geocoder = new GClientGeocoder();
var postalCode = $(this).siblings(".postal").val();
var id = $(this).siblings(".id").val();
geocoder.getLatLng(postalCode, function (point) {
if (!point) {
alert(postalCode + " not found");
} else {
map.setCenter(point, 13);
var marker = new GMarker(point);
map.addOverlay(marker);
}
});
});
In V3 the coordinates must be first serialized as a string as shown by Arnoldiuss, before sending as json post data.
var lat = latlong.lat().toString().substr(0, 12);
var lng = latlong.lng().toString().substr(0, 12);

I am doing reverse Geocoding, and want address of marker using lat and longitude. M facing problem with function "GetAddresss()", line "geocoder.getLocations(latlng,function ()" is not working properly. what should I Do?
