I have a somewhat strange problem. I have two maps on my site, a big one and a small one. I want to use the big one to show a route to a certain address. I'm now trying to implement the two maps but get a weird problem. The small map is working fine, but on the big map only a small area of the div is filled with the map, the rest is empty. (See the image.)
I use the following code to display the two maps:
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.92475, 4.38206);
var myOptions = {zoom: 10, center: latlng,mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: latlng, map:map, title:"Home"});
var image = '/Core/Images/Icons/citysquare.png';
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.92308, 4.47058);
var cityCentre = new google.maps.Marker({position:myLatLng, map:map, icon:image, title:"Centre"});
marker.setMap(map);
var largeLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.92475, 4.38206);
var largeOptions = {zoom: 10, center: largeLatlng,mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP};
var largeMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("largeMap"), largeOptions);
var largeMarker = new google.maps.Marker({position: largeLatlng, map:largeMap, title:"Cherrytrees"});
largeMarker.setMap(largeMap);
}
[..]
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
[..]
initialize();
});
What's going wrong here?
EDIT:
Unfortunately the suggestions below doesn't seem to work. The closes i came is to remove the display:none from the elements and set the elements to hide with jquery
[..]
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
[..]
$("#shadow").add($("#shadowContent"),$("#closebar"),$("#content")).hide();
});
With the following result
Yes, #Argiropoulos-Stavros but, Add it as a listener
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'idle', function(){
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
map.setCenter(location);
});
It will begin re-sizing after, map rendered.
I think you are using v3.
So google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
Also take a look at here
I fixed it!
I made an own function for the largemap and placed it in the callback when the elements are opened
function largeMap(){
var largeLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.92475, 4.38206);
var largeOptions = {zoom: 10, center: largeLatlng,mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP};
var largeMap = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("largeMap"), largeOptions);
var largeMarker = new google.maps.Marker({position: largeLatlng, map:largeMap, title:"Cherrytrees"});
largeMarker.setMap(largeMap);
}
[..]
$("#showRoute").click(function(e){
e.preventDefault();
$("#shadow").add($("#shadowContent"),$("#closebar"),$("#content")).fadeIn(500);
$("#shadowContent").show().css({'width':'750px','top':'25px','left':'50%','margin-left':'-400px'});
$("#closeBarLink").click(function(l){
l.preventDefault();
$("#shadow").add($("#shadowContent"),$("#closebar"),$("#content")).fadeOut(500);
});
largeMap();
});
Thanks anyway!!
call initialize(); function after you box active.
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#shadow").show(function () {
initialize();
})
});
When you're loading in the large map, try adding this at the end of your map code.
map.checkResize();
When Google Maps first renders on your page, it has the dimensions recorded so that it displays the map images in that size. If you're resizing the map dynamically, you need to tell the API to check the new size.
<script type='text/javascript' >
var geocoder, map;
function codeAddress() {
var address= '<?php echo $this->subject()->address; ?>';
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode({
'address': address
}, function(results, status) {
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: results[0].geometry.location,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location,
icon:'http://rvillage.com/application/themes/rvillage/images/map-marker.png'
});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({ content: 'coming soon' });
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
}
});
}
jQuery(document).ready(function () {
codeAddress();
});
</script>
You are using pop up window with jQuery, and I guest you call initialize() function when document is ready ( $(document).ready(function() {initialize(); }) ).
Try call initialize() function after pop up windown showed.

I am trying to center map to fit all markers. There are lots of example of this, and seems reasonably easy, but I just can't get it to work. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
The map can be tested here: http://www.lymphoedema.org.au/the-register/find-a-practitioner-test/ [[Search within 40kms of 3000; then click Map to view the map]].
The map is zoomed right out, and the markers are up in the very top left corner of the map.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Thank you!
<script type='text/javascript'>
var markers = [];
var marker;
console.log('About to setup map');
//setup the map
function initialize() {
var mapProp = {
draggable: true,
scrollwheel: true,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("resultmap-canvas"), mapProp);
// show markers
var myLatLng = {lat: -37.8757303, lng: 145.1277893};
var marker6610 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map
});
marker6610.setValues( {profileid: 6610, directoryid: 2} );
markers.push(marker6610);
var myLatLng = {lat: -38.0034790, lng: 145.1198805};
var marker5316 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map
});
marker5316.setValues( {profileid: 5316, directoryid: 2} );
markers.push(marker5316);
//set map bounds
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
for(i=0;i<markers.length;i++) {
bounds.extend(markers[i].getPosition());
}
map.fitBounds(bounds);
}
//execute the map creation
initialize();
// trigger map resize event when map tab is displayed
$("#mapTab").on('shown.bs.tab', function() {
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
});
</script>
Your code works fine when tested out of a bootstrap tab. So I guess the resize trigger has some implication in the issue.
Try this way:
Declare your bounds variable outside of the initialize function scope (that is where you define your marker and markers variables). By the way, you are missing the map variable declaration too.
var markers = [];
var marker;
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var map; // missing in your original code
Then fit the bounds too in the bootstrap shown event:
// trigger map resize event when map tab is displayed
$("#mapTab").on('shown.bs.tab', function() {
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
map.fitBounds(bounds); // add this line to your code
});
Don't forget to also remove the var declaration here:
//set map bounds
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
Should now be:
//set map bounds
bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
This is untested but that's all I can think of right now. Let me know if it works or not.
I am new to JS and having challenges on resizing my google map. My problem: that only a third of my map is displaying and this is because a resize trigger needs to be implemented. My question: Where exactly do I correctly place the below trigger code within my script to implement it correctly.
Any help will be much appreciated
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
Script:
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
/*use google maps api built-in mechanism to attach dom events*/
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", function () {
/*create map*/
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"), {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(51.506477,-0.071741),
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
/*create infowindow (which will be used by markers)*/
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
/*marker creater function (acts as a closure for html parameter)*/
function createMarker(options, html) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(options);
if (html) {
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function () {
infoWindow.setContent(html);
infoWindow.open(options.map, this);
});
}
return marker;
}
/*add markers to map*/
var marker0 = createMarker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(51.506477,-0.071741),
map: map,
icon: "../../account/gallery/1700728/images/marker-red.png"
}, "<p>Saint Katharine's Way London E1W 1LD, United Kingdom</p>");
});
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#googleMap').css({'width':'100%','height':'380'});
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
});
</script>
I am learning to use javascript right now with Rails and I'm having some issues with updating my markers according to my current position using AJAX. I believe the ready page:load is not running the updated coords that have been attached as a data-attribute, coords since the page is not technically reloading. How can I use my current position data and update it with events with longitude/latitude values?
var map;
$(document).on('ready page:load', function() {
if ("geolocation" in navigator) {
myMap.init();
var coords = $('#map-canvas').data('coords');
if (coords){
myMap.addMarkers(coords);
}
}
});
myMap.init = function() {
if(navigator.geolocation){
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 14,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
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
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude),
map: map
});
map.setCenter(pos);
var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
$.ajax({
url:"/all_events",
method: "GET",
data: {
latitude: latitude,
longitude: longitude
},
dataType: 'script'
});
});
} else {
document.getElementById('map-canvas').innerHTML = 'No Geolocation Support.';
}
};
myMap.addMarkers = function(coords){
var image = "http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/ms/icons/yellow-dot.png"
coords.forEach(function(coord){
var myMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(coord.latitude, coord.longitude),
map: map,
icon: image
});
});
}
In order to make your script work in the way you want please try out the following steps:
Put your foreach loop in a function and call it at the end of your successive AJAX callbacks.
Load the AJAX once the Google Maps have finished loading completely. If Google Maps library has not finished loading than you wont be able to create a Google LatLng object, this is what is probably happening over here.
Hope this would help
I created a map that focuses on a user's location. The map has a single marker with an info window. When a user clicks on the info window it gives him a hyperlink to an info page (info.html). I want to create an option that will allow the user to go back from the info page to the map, and the map should be focused on the same marker (not on his current location). It's basically going the opposite way. It sounds pretty simple, but I have no idea how to code this.
I guess I can build a different map for every marker, but that seems highly unlikely to be the right solution. Any help would be appreciated.
This is my attempt with the script, (initialize2() doesn't work):
$(document).ready(function() {
getLocation();
});
var map;
var jones = new google.maps.LatLng(40.59622788325198, -73.50334167480469);
function getLocation() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(
function(position) {
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,position.coords.longitude);
map.setCenter(myLatLng);
},
function() {
alert("Please enable location detection on your device");
}
);
}
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
center: map,
zoom: 9,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
});
var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: jones,
map: map
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent('<h4>Jones Beach</h4>See info');
infowindow.open(map,marker1);
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
// this is my attempt to focus on the marker
// there will be a button that will evoke this function from info.html
function initialize2() {
var mapOptions2 = {
zoom: 14,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.59622788325198, -73.50334167480469),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions2);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize2);
What about using a hash in the url?
Try using "http://students.example.com/test.html#one":
$(function() {
var places = {
one: [40.59622788325198, -73.50334167480469],
two: [50.59622788325198, -71.50334167480469]
};
var div = $('#map-canvas');
var map = new google.maps.Map(div.get(0), {
center: map,
zoom: 9,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var markers = {};
$.each(places, function(name) {
markers[name] = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(this[0], this[1]),
map: map
});
});
var place = location.hash.substr(1);
if(place in places) {
map.setCenter(markers[place].getPosition());
}
});
I'm using Twitter's Bootstrap for defining my CSS. I have made a page with three tabs. The second tab contains a map built with Google Maps. However when opening the page and switching to the second page with the map, the map is not rendered completely. Once I reload the page with the google maps tab as the selected tab the map loads entirely.
I read some posts that advised people with the same problem to add the following code to the javascript:
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', function() {
map.setCenter(homeLatlng);
});
However this doesn't seem to be the solution. Please find the complete code below:
Javascript:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', function() {
map.setCenter(homeLatlng);
});
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
downloadUrl("data.xml", function(data) {
var markers = data.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: latlng, map: map});
}
});
}
</script>
HTML:
<div class="tab-pane" id="orange" style="background-color:#E3F2FF;">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:780px; height:400px; overflow:;"></div>
</div>
How can I resolve this? Maybe I can add some javascript that reloads the google maps part once the tab is selected but I don't know how to do this....
Updated code still shows the error:
<div class="tab-pane" id="orange" style="background-color:#E3F2FF;">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:780px; height:400px; overflow:;"></div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="util.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'resize', function() {
map.setCenter(homeLatlng);
});
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(37.4419, -122.1419);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
downloadUrl("data.xml", function(data) {
var markers = data.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat")),
parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng")));
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: latlng, map: map});
}
});
map.checkResize();
}
</script>
</div>
I was battling with this issue as well. I was using a modal form and it rendered the map when it was hidden. When the tab is shown, you need to trigger this code:
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
map.setZoom( map.getZoom() );
Hopefully it will work for you. If that doesn't work, here is the link where I found the solution. Maybe there will be another helpful comment.
http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=1448
There's a lot of solutions here and frankly they're all wrong. If you have to hi-jack the default functionality of Bootstrap tabs, you might as well not use Bootstrap tabs. If you're only calling resize after the tab is shown, you may still have issues with the GMaps interface (zoom level and such). You simply have to initialize the map after the tab is visible.
var myCenter=new google.maps.LatLng(53, -1.33);
var marker=new google.maps.Marker({
position:myCenter
});
function initialize() {
var mapProp = {
center:myCenter,
zoom: 14,
draggable: false,
scrollwheel: false,
mapTypeId:google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),mapProp);
marker.setMap(map);
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(contentString);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
});
};
$('a[data-toggle="tab"]').on('shown.bs.tab', function (e) {
initialize();
});
You can see a working example in this bootply: http://www.bootply.com/102241
Note: if your interface is still glitchy, it could be this issue:
Google Maps API V3 : weird UI display glitches (with screenshot)
Using the most recent gmaps api, you just need to add this to your styling:
.gm-style img { max-width: none; }
.gm-style label { width: auto; display: inline; }
Works for me after testing different delays :
$(window).resize(function() {
setTimeout(function() {
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
}, 300)
});
Hope it helps.
I have solved the problem by using
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
inside show function in bootstrap-tab.js means at the time of showing the box you should trigger resize event and will work..
Edit: I have seen another link with the same answer
Google Maps API v3, jQuery UI Tabs, map not resizing
I have seen this link after solving the problem to find out the reason which is still unanswered that why resize event does not works on the click event of the tabs but works in the tab js
this works fine for me, I use jquery tabs
setTimeout(function() {
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(default_lat, default_lng));
map.setZoom(default_map_zoom);
}, 2000);
from this link https://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/detail?id=1448
To show a google maps in a hidden div, the div must show before the map is created and loaded. Below is an example:
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:500px; height:500px"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#button').click(function() {
$('#map_canvas').delay('700').fadeIn();
setTimeout(loadScript,1000);
});
});
function initialize() {
var title= "Title";
var lat = 50;
var lng = 50;
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(lat),parseFloat(lng));
var myOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
title:artTitle
});
// To add the marker to the map, call setMap();
marker.setMap(map);
}
function loadScript() {
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&callback=initialize";
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
</script>
For me, what it worked was to call the function that renders the map after the, in my case, the modal had shown.
All I had to do was:
$(document).on("shown", "#eventModal", function(){
bindMap(coordinates);
});
You can do the same with the tabs, because they also have a "shown" event.
