How to get layer ID from existing google map - javascript

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...

Adding multiple markers with Google Maps API [duplicate]

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:

JavaScript Parsing Outside XML/KML - Geoxml3

I have implemented a script that parses KML into a Google map, as described here. There's also a working sample here.
This works great in Safari and IE, but nothing happens in Firefox or Chrome on my installation (still local) and on the demo site. The only thing in the log is this:
--[13:07:38.076] "Unable to retrieve station.kml"
Could someone take a look at this and shed some light? I'm not proficient enough in JavaScript to figure out what's going on.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Here's my actual code.

The geoxml3.js script is what's causing the error, available from here.
Looks like you are using an old version of geoxml3. You should use the latest version from the polys branch, unless you need KMZ support, in which case, use the latest version from the kmz branch.

Google Maps API draw predefined route NOT WORKING

directionsDisplay.setMap(map); // map should be already initialized.
var request = {

}
});
}

</head>
<body onload="displayRoute">

Why is this not working???
I am simply trying to NOT have the user input the two coordinates, I want to predefine those and just have a map with a route drawn on it. Ideally I just want a line, I don't want directions or anything.
Bottom line: I simply want to highlight the road between two given points.
You need to create an instance of the DirectionsService:
var map;
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
Also the onload should be onload="displayRoute()"

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

<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
});

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:

<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'
});
