I have created a map, and when I search for an address in the input box, my marker does not move to my new location.
I have added this thinking that it will solve my problem, but I guess I do not understand exactly what this snippet is doing
var markers = [];
// Listen for the event fired when the user selects a prediction and retrieve
// more details for that place.
searchBox.addListener('places_changed', function() {
var places = searchBox.getPlaces();
if (places.length == 0) {
return;
}

Can someone please help me to fix this problem?
Like this.
I deleted some code that wasn't doing anything. Moving the marker, is this code, at the bottom: marker.setPosition(place.geometry.location);

i am totally new in Javascript. I have a project to make a program (based on web page) connected to google maps.
i have read developer.google.com and stuck with it.
Please help me, how to joining two sample codes place search box (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-searchbox) and marker remove (https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/marker-remove)
thanks

You have errors in the posted javascript.
Uncaught ReferenceError: haightAshbury is not defined
Uncaught ReferenceError: Markerr is not defined
...
The main problem is that the markers array and the map variable are not in the global scope, once those are moved to the global scope and the references to the Markerr array removed (or changed to markers), the buttons work (or at least do what I expect).

I'm trying to implement the Google Maps API onto my website. Google Maps loads, however search option still seems to be at large due to the below error message
Uncaught ReferenceError: google is not defined
on following line:
var searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input);
What is it that needs to be corrected to get this code going ?

Any help would be highly appreciated !!!
You are asynchronously loading the API. You need to put all the code that depends on the API in the callback function (initMap).
Also, you didn't read this comment, you aren't including the places library:
// 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">

Put whole your code to the initMap bc google will be defined only after Google Maps script will be loaded on the page.
Also added small verification to make it worked and no errors.

And now i want to get the exact values of lat and lng to some variables in javascript.
After some research i have found this
var location = place.geometry.location;
var lat = location.lat();
var lng = location.lng();
So when i console.log the variables lat and lng to be appearead at the console of chrome. The problem is that i cant quite understand where should i integrate the lat and lng code from location so it can work with the example from google?
Any idea?
Thanks!

This is a Code Snippet of Google Map Search Function to search particular location.How can i make a google map search function that search particular location without marker. I've research google maps search box but so far most of what i research have markers even in Google Developers Website can't find any of it.
var searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(document.getElementById('searchmap'));
google.maps.event.addListener(searchBox,'places_changed',function() {
var places = searchBox.getPlaces();
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var i, place;
for (var i = 0; place= place[i]; i++) {
bounds.extend(place.geometry.location);
marker.setPosition(place.geometry.location);
}
map.fitBounds(bounds);
map.setZoom(15);
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker,'position_changed', function(){
var lat = marker.getPosition().lat();
var lng = marker.getPosition().lat();
$('#lat').val(lat);
$('#lat').val(lat);
});
Here is modified example from Places search box page that demonstrates how to utilize Google Place Autocomplete feature (the dependency to mark places using markers is deleted)
function initAutocomplete() {
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: { lat: -33.8688, lng: 151.2195 },
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
var input = document.getElementById('searchmap');
var searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(input);
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.TOP_LEFT].push(input);
searchBox.addListener('places_changed', function () {
var places = searchBox.getPlaces();
if (places.length == 0) {
return;
}
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
places.forEach(function (place) {
if (place.geometry.viewport) {
// Only geocodes have viewport.

When I search for an address on this map it zooms in too much where the map is not useful. I have tried adjusting the map bounds, but it did not help. I think I am on the right path, but Its just not working. Can someone help me fix this?

in you code, you use map.fitBounds(bounds);, which bounds is the place.geometry.viewport returned from the search result, which by default zoom in as much as it can. Instead, you want to pan to the new location, which save your current zoom level. Look at this jsfiddle demo for more information.
