I have a Jscript which using HTML5 geoloaction,
It works perfectly. i want to add a share button where it shows my position, But i cant find how i can add a button here
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?secretapi&sensor=true"></script>
<script>
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 18,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
// Try HTML5 geolocation
if(navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,
position.coords.longitude);
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
map: map,
position: pos,
content: 'your pos' +pos //**i want add a fb share button here**
});
map.setCenter(pos);
}, function() {
handleNoGeolocation(true);
});
} else {
// Browser doesn't support Geolocation
handleNoGeolocation(false);
}
}
function handleNoGeolocation(errorFlag) {
if (errorFlag) {
var content = 'Error: The Geolocation service failed.';
} else {
var content = 'Error: Your browser doesn\'t support geolocation.';
}
var options = {
map: map,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(60, 105),
content: content
};
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(options);
map.setCenter(options.position);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
Infowindow can have html markup as content. So if you want to add a button you can simply
do
content: 'your pos' + pos + '<button></button>'
Consider it as a div that can take any html markup, which can be styled too (the markup, not the window).
A demo
UPDATE
For binding an event on a dynamic element (in your case the button) you could do the following
content: 'your pos' + pos + '<button id="myButton"></button>'
And in your js script do the following
$("body").on("click", "#myButton", function(e) {
// ...
});
Mind the fact that the above is a method of the jQuery object so be sure to include the jquery library.
A new demo press the button and see the alert that is being called in the binding

I am trying to set a marker to my current location using Javascript. When I load the map, however, while the map will center on my current location, no marker will appear?
Everything looks good, just add marker.setPosition(initialLocation); in the following section:
if (navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
initialLocation = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
marker.setPosition(initialLocation);// ****** missing line ******
map.setCenter(initialLocation);
}, function() {
handleNoGeolocation(browserSupportFlag);
});
};
Here is a working JSFiddle with the necessary changes.
The key is from a Google MAP API sample and will need to be updated with your own, which you can obtain here: Google MAP API.
You may need to reload the JSFiddle example, as there appears to be an issue with the async defer coming from googleapis file. Wait a few seconds and press RUN.
Just make sure the content of variable initialLocation.
If it has the correct lon/lat, marker will appear.
You have to make sure it has correct value before the following:
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: initialLocation,
map: map
});
I have put together this script (note: I'm using jQuery 1.11.2) that gets lat long coordinates from a PHP operation (used for something else) and displays a map with a customized marker and infowindow that includes HTML for formatting the information that is displayed.
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.20&sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var maplat = 41.36058;
var maplong = 2.19234;
function initialize() {
// Create a Google coordinate object for where to center the map
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng( maplat, maplong ); // Coordinates
var mapOptions = {
center: latlng,
zoom: 3,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
scrollwheel: false,
streetViewControl: false,
zoomControl: false,
mapTypeControl: false,
disableDoubleClickZoom: true
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),mapOptions);
// CREATE AN INFOWINDOW FOR THE MARKER
var content = 'This will show up inside the infowindow and it is here where I would like to show the converted lat/long coordinates into the actual, human-readable City/State/Country'
; // HTML text to display in the InfoWindow
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: content,maxWidth: 250
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker( {
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: "A SHORT BUT BORING TITLE",
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
infowindow.open(map,marker);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
What I'm trying to achieve is to do a reverse geocode on the coordinates stored in the latlng variable and get back the results of that in a "City, State, Country" format and insert that into the HTML for the informarker stored in the "content" variable.
Have tried multiple approaches without success. Please note that I've deliberately left out the reverse geocoding script I tried to use for clarity purposes.
Edit: I've adjusted the script presented here to comply with the rules about it being clear, readable and that it actually should work. I also include a link to a CodePen so that you can see it in action: Script on CodePen
Regarding including the script for reverse geocoding, what I did was a disaster, only breaking the page and producing "undefined value" errors. I'd like to learn the correct way of doing this by example, and that's where the wonderful StackOverflow community comes in. Thanks again for your interest in helping me out.
Use a node instead of a string as content , then you may place the geocoding-result inside the content, no matter if the infoWindow is already visible or not or when the result is available(it doesn't even matter if the InfoWindow has already been initialized, a node is always "live").
Simple Demo:
function initialize() {
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(),
latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(52.5498783, 13.42520);
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), {
zoom: 18,
center: latlng
}),
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: latlng
}),
content = document.createElement('div'),
infoWin = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: content
});
content.innerHTML = '<address>the address should appear here</address>';
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infoWin.open(map, this);
});
geocoder.geocode({
location: latlng
}, function(r, s) {
if (s === google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
content.getElementsByTagName('address')[0].textContent = r[0].formatted_address;
} else {
window.alert('Geocoder failed due to: ' + status);
}
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
html,
body,
#map-canvas {
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px
}
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3"></script>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
Here's how I would do it:
function reverseGeocoder(lat, lng, callback) {
var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(lat), parseFloat(lng));
geocoder.geocode({"latLng" : point }, function(data, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK && data[0]) {
callback(null, data[0].formatted_address);
} else {
console.log("Error: " + status);
callback(status, null);
}
});
};
And basically you would call the function like:
reverseGeocoder(lat, lng, function(err, result){
// Do whatever has to be done with result!
// EDIT: For example you can pass the result to your initialize() function like so:
initialize(result); // And then inside your initialize function process the result!
});
I'm trying to build a website that shows a map and on top of it I want to display a button that takes you to your current location.
I'm using Google maps service to pull out the map, I also manage to get the user location by itself so all the JavaScript seems to be working fine but when add the function getlocation to the code and try to call it from the HTML it doesn't work. I believe that is probably not finding the function and I can't figure out why?
I will leave the code below:
<script>
var map;
function initialize() {
var miami = new google.maps.LatLng(41.85, -87.65);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: miami,
disableDefaultUI: true,
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('mymap'),
mapOptions);
var myloc = document.getElementById("try");
function getlocation () {
//code
// Try HTML5 geolocation
if(navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,
position.coords.longitude);
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
map: map,
position: pos,
content: 'Location found using HTML5.'
});
}, function() {
handleNoGeolocation(true);
});
} else {
// Browser doesn't support Geolocation
handleNoGeolocation(false);
}
}
function handleNoGeolocation(errorFlag) {
if (errorFlag) {
var content = 'Error: The Geolocation service failed.';
} else {
var content = 'Error: Your browser doesn\'t support geolocation.';
}
var options = {
map: map,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(60, 105),
content: content
};
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(options);
}
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
I'm using inline style for everything. I'm somehow new into this of JavaScript so if could please tell me where is my error or what else do I need to make a button from the HTML call a function on JavaScript.
In addition here is the HTML button and map div
<style>
html, body, #mymap{
height: 100%;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&signed_in=true"></script>
<body>
<div id="try"><button onclick="getlocation()">Click here</button></div>
<div id="mymap"></div>
</body>
If you don't understand what my question is please also comment!
This is my first question here!
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {
marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: event.latLng, map: map});
});
I'm wondering if it's possible to open one of the infoWindow objects that are attached to each marker in the code below on page load and not just by clicking on them? As it is now, the user has to click on one of the markers to open an info window.
I tested to create a "stand alone" info window object and that opened fine onload, but it didn't close when I clicked on some of the other markers, because the onClick function was attached to the markers that only could close the info windows attached to that object. Correct med if I'm wrong?
Would this be possible and can I "call" an object by the number or what options do I have? Tips are preciated!
Or if there is possible, that I have tried to open an separate info window onload and be able to close that if I open one of the other info windows!?
var map = null;
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var iconBase = 'images/mapNumbers/number';
//var zoomLevel = 11;
//var mapPositionLat = 55.678939;
//var mapPositionLng = 12.568359;
function initialize() {
var markerPos = new google.maps.LatLng(55.674196574861895, 12.583808898925781);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 11,
//center: new google.maps.LatLng(55.678939, 12.568359),
center: markerPos,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function () {
infowindow.close();
});
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'zoom_changed', function () {
infowindow.close();
});
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', function() {
map.setCenter(markerPos);
map.setZoom(zoomLevel);
//var center = map.getCenter();
});
// Add markers to the map
var point;
point = new google.maps.LatLng(55.667093,12.581255); createMarker(point, "<div class='infoWindow'>1</div>");
point = new google.maps.LatLng(55.660794,12.58972); createMarker(point, "<div class='infoWindow'>2</div>");
point = new google.maps.LatLng(55.660491,12.587087); createMarker(point, "<div class='infoWindow'>3</div>");
}
// Create markers
function createMarker(latlng, html, name, number) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: name,
icon: iconBase + number + '.png'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
infowindow.setContent(html);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
//map.setCenter(marker.getPosition());
map.setCenter(55.678939, 12.568359);
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
In order to display InfoWindow when the map loads, make the call to
infowindow.open(map, marker);
outside of the marker listener.
Below is demonstrated createMarker function, where parameter displayInfoWindow defines whether to display InfoWindow when the map loads:
// Create marker
function createMarker(map,markerPos, markerTitle,infoWindowContent,displayInfoWindow) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: markerPos,
map: map,
title: markerTitle,
});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: infoWindowContent
});
if(displayInfoWindow) {
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
}
Example: http://jsbin.com/lusuquwu/1/
It is possible. One possible solution is to save markers to an array and then trigger click event on of one of them using google.maps.event.trigger(). For example:
...
var zoomLevel = 11; // uncommented due to error message
var markers = [];
function initialize() {
...
point = new google.maps.LatLng(55.660491,12.587087); createMarker(point, "<div class='infoWindow'>3</div>");
google.maps.event.trigger(markers[1], 'click');
}
function createMarker(latlng, html, name, number) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: name,
//icon: iconBase + number + '.png'
icon: iconBase
});
// added to collect markers
markers.push(marker);
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
console.log('click event listener');
infowindow.setContent(html);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
//map.setCenter(marker.getPosition());
// corrected due to error
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(55.678939, 12.568359));
});
}
I combined info from this and another site to come up with the below solution as most solutions are for multi-marker maps.
Just a few lines is all you actually need.
// Start with your map
var map = new google.maps.Map(...);
// Now define the info window using HTML. You can insert images etc.
var info = new google.maps.InfoWindow({content: 'YOUR HTML HERE'});
// Now define the marker position on the map
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({map: map, position:{lat: 'YOUR LATITUDE',lng: 'YOUR LONGITUDE'}});
Now we have the variables, just hide the marker, show the info window and set the map zoom and center.
// Set the map zoom
map.setZoom('YOUR ZOOM LEVEL [1 - 20]');
// Set the map center
map.setCenter({lat: 'YOUR LATITUDE',lng: 'YOUR LONGITUDE'});
// Hide the marker that we created
marker.setVisible(false);
// Open the info window with the HTML on the marker position
info.open(map, marker);
For the content, you can create layers and insert images and text as you need. Just make sure you include the full URL to images in your html.
I also recommend adding this to your CSS to hide the close button, which effectively makes this a permanent, info window.
.gm-style-iw + div {display: none;}
I am using the following script on my site:
<script type="text/javascript">

map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),

var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer("https://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&output=kml&msid=210000746142049190989.0004ce14b7a8e95167602");
kmlLayer.setMap(map);
// Try HTML5 geolocation
if(navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({

});
map.setZoom(14);

}, function() {

});
} else {

I am also using the following which is needed for mobile
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
But still when I visit the site on mobile, and I click to view the map I get the error "The Geolocation service failed."
Is there somthing else I am missing for the geo-location to work on mobile?
You can see the site and live example here on the site, right hand side if you scroll down just past the fold you will see "where can I get rumble?" click on that for the map.
EDIT I think it has somthing to do with the kmlLayer it seems to be defaulting to that on mobile?
var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer("https://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&output=kml&msid=210000746142049190989.0004ce14b7a8e95167602");
kmlLayer.setMap(map);
According to Google Maps zoom gets overridden, when using a kml file
in the function initialize, replace all you have before // Try HTML5 geolocation with:
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), mapOptions);
var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer("https://maps.google.ca/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&msa=0&output=kml&msid=210000746142049190989.0004ce14b7a8e95167602", { map: map, preserveViewport: true });
