Adding multiple markers with Google Maps API [duplicate] - javascript

This question already has answers here:
Google Maps JS API v3 - Simple Multiple Marker Example
(15 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I am trying to use Google maps API for a website and I can't seem to get multiple locations to populate like Google has it in their example.
Could anyone please let me know what I need to add to get 11 markers to show up that will give a description of what I want.
I can see that Google has multiple locations giving a quick description of what they are.
PS: I already have a key I just need to know how to include "X" number of markers with a description attached.
Attached is the link to googles example:
Google Maps API
Here is the code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Place searches</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
* element that contains the map. */
#map {
height: 100%;
}
/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
</style>
<script>
// This example requires the Places library. Include the libraries=places
// parameter when you first load the API. For example:
// <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places">
var map;
var infowindow;
function initMap() {
var pyrmont = {lat: -33.867, lng: 151.195};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: pyrmont,
zoom: 15
});
infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
var service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
service.nearbySearch({
location: pyrmont,
radius: 500,
type: ['store']
}, callback);
}
function callback(results, status) {
if (status === google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
createMarker(results[i]);
}
}
}
function createMarker(place) {
var placeLoc = place.geometry.location;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: place.geometry.location
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(place.name);
infowindow.open(map, this);
});
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&libraries=places&callback=initMap" async defer></script>
</body>
</html>

You need to try this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Simple markers</title>
<style>
/* Always set the map height explicitly to define the size of the div
* element that contains the map. */
#map {
height: 100%;
}
/* Optional: Makes the sample page fill the window. */
html,
body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
function initMap() {
var myLatLng = {
lat: -25.363,
lng: 131.044
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatLng
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map,
title: 'Hello World!'
});
}
</script>
<script async defer src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap">
</script>

marker.addlistener gets fired up immediately after pageload

This is the code I have, based on the example at https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/event-simple , but instead of zooming in when clicked on a marker, I want to show a messagebox (alert()):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Simple click event - modified</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#map {
height: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
function initMap() {
var myLatlng = {lat: -25.363, lng: 131.044};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatlng
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title: 'Click to show alert'
});
marker.addListener('click', alert('Hello World!'));
}
</script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&signed_in=true&callback=initMap" async defer>
</script>
</body>
</html>
Of course, instead of YOUR_API_KEY , I filled in my own API key from Google Maps API v3.
Whenever I load this page, the alert shows as soon as the page is loaded, and clicking on the marker has no effect at all.
The problem is in the addlistener, the command for the messagebox has to be in between a function() { ... }:
marker.addListener( 'click', function() { alert('Hello World!'); } );
Will solve the problem!

How to get layer ID from existing google map

I'm trying to toggle layers of an existing map created on maps.google.com with google V3 API.
To toggle (display / hide) the layer I'm using .setMap function with map/null as argument.
My problem is that I've not found a way to get the list of the existing layers. So I've hardcoded the values in mapLayerNames, but I would have prefer to get them from 'map' variable. Which API am I missing from the doc?
here comes my code: lid are the layer Ids I'm looking for in the url...

Get User Location by Marking on Google Map

ALL
i wanna developing window contains map and allow user to mark his location and get longitude and latitude based on the marked location
any one has a suggestion ?
you can use google map v3 for this purpose..
Try this code, it creates a marker where the user clicks on the map
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google Maps</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="utf-8">
<style>
html, body, #map-canvas {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
}
</style>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false"></script>
<script>
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882, 131.044922),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (e) {
placeMarker(e.latLng, map);
});
}
function placeMarker(position, map) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map
});
map.panTo(position);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
you will be requried to use maps click event to get lat/lag.
check below code for same.
GEvent.addListener(map, "click", function(overlay, latLng)
{
// display the lat/lng in your form's lat/lng fields
document.getElementById("latFld").value = latLng.lat();
document.getElementById("lngFld").value = latLng.lng();
//code for adding marker
//post/ajax call to save location in Database
});

I can't get the Google's Places Service's output

In my code, first, I am trying to find the user's location by GeoLocation service on the Google Maps.
Second, I am trying to show 'Bars', like places you go to drink alcohol, with the Google's Places Service near users location. It should put markers on 'Bars' near users location.
However this doesn't work, I am encountering a problem. But I don't know what it is. It opens the map without 'Bars' near my location.
My css code:
html, body {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#map_canvas {
height: 100%;
}
#media print {
html, body {
height: auto;
}
#map_canvas {
height: 650px;
}
}

A Google Places search can often come up empty, especially considering how sparse the Google Places database is at the current time (or was the last time I tried it). See Google Maps Javascript API V3 : Search Requests for some extra details and suggestions.

Google Maps marker doesn't receive click events

I'm experimenting with QtWebkit and Google Maps. The problem I've run into is calling C++ slots from the QWebView.
The page displayed in the QWebView is a modified Google Maps example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Google Maps JavaScript API v3 Example: Event Simple</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=true"></script>
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882, 131.044922),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'),
myOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: map.getCenter(),
map: map,
title: 'test'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
//if (map.getZoom() == 8) {
// map.setZoom(4);
// } else {
// map.setZoom(8);
// }
window.maiWi.showList();
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:100%; height:100%"></div>
</body>
</html>
maiWi is the QMainWindow object which contains the slot showList() I want to call and which has been added to the Javascript window object.
If I add another element to the web page with the attribute onclick="maiWi.showList()", then the slot gets called and everything is well. However, I want to call the slot when the Maps marker gets clicked. The marker, however doesn't seem to respond to click events in QWebView. Even the commented-out example code doesn't work.
In Chrome, the event listener gets called and does what it's supposed to, but in QWebView nothing happens.
It turns out that I should turn off optimized rendering for map markers. When adding optimized:false to the marker declaration, then things start to work:
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: map.getCenter(),
map: map,
optimized: false,
title: 'test'
});
