I have an HTML page with a list of buttons representing locations. When any button is clicked, I want a Google Map to appear with that location. Should the map open on a new HTML page? (because the map should take up the full page), or is it possible to display the map on the same page?
EDIT - OK, I want to open it in another HTML file. I have an external JS file which has the following Map code:
function initialize(lat, lng) {
var mapOptions = {
center: {lat: parseFloat(lat), lng: parseFloat(lng)},
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize(-34.397, 150.644));
My external HTML file is given below:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html, body, #map-canvas { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3&sensor=false"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="script.js" ></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
But its not working. The external JS file cannot locate "map-canvas", it seems. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? (script.js is the external JS file)
I worked around your question try this :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#map-canvas {
width: 500px;
height: 400px;
}
</style>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3&sensor=false" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
Show Map1
</div>
<div>
Show Map2
</div>
<div>
<a href="#" class="btn cta map-trigger" data-lat="41.8911684" data-lng="12.707724100000019" targe> Show Map3 </a>
</div>
<script>
var render_map = function( lat, lng, title ) {
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
// options
var args = {
zoom : 16,
center : new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng),
mapTypeId : google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
// create map
var map = new google.maps.Map( mapCanvas, args);
// create marker
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: args.center,
map: map,
title: title
});
toggleMap();
}
var toggleMap = function(){
if ($('body').hasClass('-show-map')) {
mapHide();
} else {
mapShow();
};
}
$('.map-trigger').on('click', function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
var lat = $(this).data('lat');
var lng = $(this).data('lng');
render_map(lat, lng);
});
</script>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>

Hej. Google maps turns up grey in the browser, but can see the markers and the google logo in the bottom right corner.
Have tried the resize function, but still won't work.I am using bootstraps col.
I can see it works here, but it doesn't.
Thanks for the help.
function initialize() {
var myOrigin = new google.maps.LatLng(56.63914, 9.79765);
var mapProp = {
center: myOrigin,
zoom: 7,

};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"), mapProp);
var myCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(56.157165, 10.207644);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myCenter,

});
marker.setMap(map);
var myCenter2 = new google.maps.LatLng(57.04661, 9.924479);

I have being trying to parse a HTML file using the following code below, I have a html file passed into the core.Element.parse, which is then rendered to the view:
this.newElement = core.Element.parse(html);
this.view.getContent().append(this.newElement);
html file looks like:
<div>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#map-canvas {
width: 250px;
height: 250px;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map-canvas');
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(53.4333, -7.9500),
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions)
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>

Can someone tell me why the html, and css gets parsed but the javascript doesnt? When I inspect element the html is there and css but there is no sign of the javascript and nothing appears.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I would rather using jquery in my wordpress for googlemaps api, you can try it if you want.
like this code snippet :
$(document).ready(function () {
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var bi = new google.maps.LatLng(-6.182134, 106.821825);
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-2.548926, 118.0148634),
zoom: 4,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
postion: bi,
title: 'Bank Indonesia',
animation: google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE
});
marker.setPosition(bi);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false"></script>
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:450px; height:300px"></div>
Check this how you use jquery in wordpress.
Or you can use the way he use google maps api in wordpress here.
you can place your initialize in body tag like this below :
<body onload="initialize()">
for google maps api using pure javascript.
I'm trying to customize google map but I have a small problem.
Here is the css code:
#map-canvas {
width: 100%;
height: 500px;
}
and the js code:
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatlng
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title: 'Hello World!'
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
And this is how I initialize the map in html. This example actually works.
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
But when I trying to put my map into some div e.g:
<div>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</div>
It doesn't work. How to fix that ?
/// EDIT
Please put this into example.html and try to run. Nothing happens for me.
<!DOCTYPE html>

var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({

Your parent div should have height and width defined.
<body>
<div style="height:100%; width:100%;">
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</div>
</body>
Try This.
For more detail:
Map isn't showing on Google Maps JavaScript API v3 when nested in a div tag
Nothing seems wrong in your code ,it works fine just seprated css.I have checked and tested.

Please help me out.
I used static map for may application and it really works nicely.This method uses HTML codes.You have to visit site http://maps.google.com/ and search for your city/state/country for which you want to use google map.After getting map search for your locations you want and save them as 'save to map'. Once you have done then click on Link button in left side bar and you will get html code like this,///this is example code for google map of USA,
<iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=216854043611115490081.0004bc7afbd6561efbeb0&ie=UTF8&ll=43.075968,-107.290284&spn=0,0&t=h&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small>View My Saved Places in a larger map</small>
You have to just paste code like this in you html file and you will get static map image with your saved locations.One more thing you can add number of locations as much as you want.
