I am trying to implement Google maps with a specified location on an website. Trying it for the first time, got the code from google dev and it doesn't work how it should, let me explain:
It works sometimes( when I load the page sometimes, or click in and out of other links, but not constantly) and no error on the log. I haven't noticed a pattern so that's why I am posting here. Really appreciate you reading this and giving your input!
First the HTML:
<h2>My Google Maps Demo</h2>
<div id="map"></div>
<script async defer
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyDwCEHnAjByWbixBh7zEm0VT712Cmlc(not the real key)callback=initMap">
</script>
<script src="javascript/scripts.js"></script>
Second the JS:
function initMap() {
var uluru = {lat: 46.77889, lng: 23.58624};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 16,
center: uluru
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: uluru,
map: map
});
}

I'm building a websites, that occupies the Google Maps JS API, but for some reason, the map stays white, but there's no error in the Google Chrome Console.
HTML code:
<div id="map-container-5" class="z-depth-1" style="height: 200px"></div>
<script src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key"></script>
JS code:
function myMap() {
var mapProp= {
center:new google.maps.LatLng(51.508742,-0.120850),
zoom:5,
};
var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-container- 5"),mapProp);
}
I'm not really getting the point, why this is not working, as there's no error.
My kind of template was: https://www.w3schools.com/graphics/tryit.asp?filename=trymap_intro
If you want to simply show a map with your coordinates using the googleapi then do as follows. This will show the map with your lat and lng.
CSS:
#map {
height: 400px; /* The height is 400 pixels */
width: 100%; /* The width is the width of the web page */
}
The HTML
<div id="map"></div> /* Place on your page
And this BEFORE the /body tag with YOUR key
<script async defer
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOURKEY&callback=initMap">
</script>
And the JS script which again is places about the /body
<script>
function initMap() {
// The location of Uluru
var uluru = {lat: 51.5087420, lng: -0.120850};
// The map, centered at Uluru
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById('map'), {zoom: 10, center: uluru});
// The marker, positioned at Uluru
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: uluru, map: map});
}
</script>
Your code is correct. You just need to call the myMap() function once it is defined.
Try running the snippet below. (Same as your code with an additional line for calling myMap() function.)
function myMap() {
var mapProp = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(51.508742, -0.120850),
zoom: 5,
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-container-5"), mapProp);
}
myMap();
<div id="map-container-5" class="z-depth-1" style="height: 200px"></div>
<script src="https://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyC7q_f_aMi9o-hoSl3PYSVHRlN99AU3nBg"></script>
The API key you used is W3Schools one! API keys are used for Google to ask for money when your map gets lots of views.
You can get your own API key at https://cloud.google.com/maps-platform/ but you also need to register your credit card (or a fake one).
Note that you don't need an API key if your project is local (not served via HTTP).
(Also you didn't call myMap, so be sure to add myMap() to the end of your code.)
first you have to get your own key for google maps api. then you need to correct the tag like this.Also you have to call your "myMap" function.
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=myMap" async defer></script>
you then want to replace "YOUR_API_KEY" in the code with your key.
and "myMap" with your function name which in this case is the same (myMap)
In your style try using a valid height and width, and be sure the div is visible at startup
<div id="map-container-5" class="z-depth-1" style="height: 200px; width:200px;"></div>
And try remove the last comma in mapProp
var mapProp= {
center:new google.maps.LatLng(51.508742,-0.120850),
zoom:5
};
Is not cleat how invoke the function myMap().. so try also using the code directly in
<script>
var mapProp= {
center:new google.maps.LatLng(51.508742,-0.120850),
zoom:5
};
var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-container- 5"), mapProp);
</script>
and check in your javascript console .. for error
First of all, I know Google has documentation on how to complete all of these features, but even when I add the exact coding, the map no longer shows up, or it simply does not work.
I'm completely new to development, but the project I'm trying to complete is a Game of Thrones map, where other users may visit and add a marker, name the marker ( not a simple one-character label, more like an actual name, several characters long ), and delete their marker. If someone else adds a marker, I'd like to be able to see it. And vice versa, I want everyone's markers on the map to be visible.
So far, as a first step, all I'm trying to complete right now is creating markers and making them draggable. The map shows up fine, until I add the value "draggable:true" to the markers options. even though that's what the google documentation suggests.
Here's the google documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/markers
And here's the page i'm trying to get the project to work on:http://jamie-jabbours-fabulous-project.webflow.io/
and here's the exact code i'm using:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#map {
height: 400px;
width: 100%;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>My Google Maps Demo</h3>
<div id="map"></div>
<script>
function initMap() {
var uluru = {lat: -25.363, lng: 131.044};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: uluru
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: uluru,
map: map
draggable: true
});
}
</script>
<script async defer
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyB55_iwgWvg1_NjoIEqqXgeQOeDBrq8p5o&callback=initMap">
</script>
</body>
</html>
I'm sure there is something very simple I'm doing wrong, but I can't see it.
Just add a comma..after map and before draggable
function initMap() {
var uluru = {lat: -25.363, lng: 131.044};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 4,
center: uluru
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: uluru,
map: map,
draggable: true
});
}
Watch out for syntax bugs next time :)
I am testing Google Maps API and the code who's coming from the doc not working for me, as the marker is not displayed while I have no problem with the map.
function initMap() {
var place = {lat: 48.1389729, lng: -1.935302};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('maps'), {
zoom: 10,
center: place
});
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: place,
map: map,
visible:true,
title: "Hi There",
});
}
The function is created before calling the API with the callback.
What I am missing ?
Add in HTML after you script
<script async defer
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&callback=initMap">
</script>
I would like to show a google map in my Odoo contact page. I already installed a function that gets the Lat and Long but then i would like to show them in a map.
So far i was able to show the google map with the following code.
But I have 2 problems
1. the map is only visible after resizing my page manually
I don't know how to get die values from the odoo fields above.
Hope anyone can help! Thx
<div id="googleMap" style="width:100%;height:400px;"></div>
<script>
function myMap() {
var lat= 51;
var long= 2;
var mapProp= {
center:new google.maps.LatLng(lat,long),
zoom:10,
};
var map=new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"),mapProp);
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
}</script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=MY-KEY&callback=myMap"></script>
Thx for the answer but if I use your code i get the following error:
Change the H & W to a fixed value doesn't work either.

I'm trying to integrate Google Maps Javascript API in my wordpress website.
I created an API key, and I added a pure html code block in my page.
Before it worked perfectly, but now it only show a grey piece. When I zoom out and drag the map around, the following picture is visible:
This is my code in the html block:
<div id="googlemaps"></div>
<script>
var map;
function initMap() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('googlemaps'), {
center: {lat: 51.341667, lng: 4.21444},
zoom: 8
});
}
</script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR-API-KEY&callback=initMap"
async defer></script>
And YES, I replaced YOUR-API-KEY with my API key in my code (this is just so others won't use the generated code).
I don't know what is wrong with the map. I do not have errors in my webconsole.
Thanks in advance!
<script>
var map;
function initMap() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('googlemaps'), {
center: {lat: 51.341667, lng: 4.21444},
zoom: 8,
backgroundColor: '#fffff',
});
}
</script>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR-API-KEY&callback=initMap"
async defer></script
<div id="googlemaps"></div>
Use backgroundColor property
Call google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize') inside initMap() as you have resized the map div.
var map;
function initMap() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('googlemaps'), {
center: {lat: 51.341667, lng: 4.21444},
zoom: 8
});
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize')
}
