javascript google maps api - dynamic search place

i've done like this video has shown but something just not working. mine not showing the place i seaching for and the marker also didnt move to that place. Youtube tutorial
and this is my code
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),{
center:{
lat:-7.9666,
lng:112.6326
},
zoom:15
} );
var marler = new google.maps.Marker({
position:{
lat:-7.9666,
lng:112.6326
},
map:map,
draggable:true
});
var searchBox = new google.maps.places.SearchBox(document.getElementById('mapsearch'));
google.maps.event.addListener (searchBox, 'places_changed', function(){
var places = searchBox.getPlaces();
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var i, place;
for (i=0; place=places[i];i++){
//console.log(place.geometry.location);
bounds.extend(place.geometry.location);
marker.setPosition(place.geometry.location);
}
map.fitBounds(bounds);
map.setZoom(15);
});
problem starts from var searchBox line down below
im using libraries=places at the end of google api script.
thanks for your help :beer

viola, i actually have a typo for the marker that written as marler.
case close everyone,
you should go to that youtube tutorial, that works!

Google Maps JS API: fitBounds and maintain center [duplicate]

I've been looking around for a solution to this problem, but i can't seem to find somthing that solves this. The closest i get is this thread. But this doesn't work.
What i'm trying to do is to run fitbounds based on a set of markers which works fine. But i would also like to center the map based on the users location (the bouncing marker in the plunk) and still keep all markers within the map view.
If i try to setCenter after fitBounds, some markers are outside of the map view.
Is there some nifty way of combining these two functions?
Here's the plunk illustrating the issue.
function initialize() {
var userCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(51.508742, -0.120850);
var userCenterMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: userCenter
});
userCenterMarker.setAnimation(google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE);
var mapProp = {
center: userCenter,
zoom: 12,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"), mapProp);
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var markers = getMarkers();
$(markers).each(function() {
bounds.extend(this.position);
this.setMap(map);
});
userCenterMarker.setMap(map);
map.fitBounds(bounds);
setTimeout(function() {
map.setCenter(userCenter);
}, 1500);
}
Thanks!

Simple solution: Add your "user marker" to the bounds, do fitBounds, then decrement the resulting zoom by 1 and center on that marker.
bounds.extend(userCenterMarker.getPosition());
map.fitBounds(bounds);
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map,'bounds_changed', function() {
map.setZoom(map.getZoom()-1);
});
working fiddle
More complex solution: Center on the "user marker", check to see if the marker bounds is completely included in the map's current bounds (map.getBounds().contains(markerBounds)), if not, decrement the zoom level by 1.

The above answer didn't work for me. Here's what did:
contained = true;
map.fitBounds(bounds);
map.setCenter(center);
newbounds = map.getBounds();
for (i = 0; i < l; i ++) {
if (!newbounds.contains(markers[i].getPosition())) {
contained = false;
}
}
if (!contained) map.setZoom(map.getZoom() - 1);

Google Maps info windows only displays info from the first click

I have a script that:
pulls results from a database in the form of an XML file
parses those results
creates a marker for each result and places it on a map (a single map for all markers)
at the same times, builds a clickable HTML list (sidebar) containing all those results.
When the user clicks on a place name in the sidebar, the info window from the corresponding marker on the map is automatically displayed. Of course the user can also click directly on a marker on the map, and the same info window is also displayed.
This code has been working fine for several years, but last week I noticed that its behavior was now bugged. When viewing some given results, the first click (either on the map or in the sidebar) works fine (the info window opens and displays the correct information), but the following clicks all show the same information from the first click, all in their respective info window. (To be clear: the information shown is the one from the very first click, not from the previous click.)
I've been trying to debug that for hours but I don't understand why it doesn't work anymore. As you can see in my code below, I tried adding a console.log in the google.maps.event.addListener function, to see what data is being worked with when the marker is clicked, but even there, I don't see anything wrong.
Here is my code (simplified to be more readable):
var side_bar_html = '\n';
var gmarkers = []; // array for created markers
var infoWindow;
var center_lat = <?php echo $position_lat; ?>;
var center_lng = <?php echo $position_lng; ?>;
function createMarker(point, name, html, place_id, map) {
var marker, markerOptions;
markerOptions = {
map: map,
position: point,
dataId: place_id,
icon : 'theme/marker.png',
shadow: 'theme/marker_shadow.png'
};
marker = new google.maps.Marker(markerOptions);
infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({content: html});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
console.log(this, marker, html);
infoWindow.content = html;
infoWindow.open(map, this);
});
gmarkers.push(marker);
side_bar_html += '\n<li>' + name + '</li>';
return marker;
}
function showPlace(i) {
google.maps.event.trigger(gmarkers[i], 'click');
}
function loadEarth(opt, zoom) {
var map, point, mapCenter, mapOptions;
if (zoom === null) {zoom = 7;}
mapCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(center_lat, center_lng);
mapOptions = {
zoom: zoom,
center: mapCenter,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
point = new google.maps.LatLng(parseFloat(center_lat), parseFloat(center_lng));
if (opt != 0) {
map.setMap(new google.maps.Marker(point));
}
}
// receiving results via XML
function go() {
var map, bounds;
var mapOptions = {
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
$.ajax({
url : 'url/to/data.xml',
type : 'GET',
dataType : 'xml',
success : function(xml) {
var markers, lat, lng, place_id, point, label, html, marker;
markers = xml.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
// extract data for each marker
lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat"));
lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"));
place_id = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("place_id"));
point = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng);
label = $(markers[i]).find('label').eq(0).text();
html = $(markers[i]).find('infowindow').eq(0).text();
// marker creation
marker = createMarker(point, label, html, place_id, map);
// extend visible zone to newly added marker
bounds.extend(point);
}
map.setCenter(new google.maps.LatLng(center_lat, center_lng), 7);
bounds.extend(point);
if (markers.length>0) {
document.getElementById("side_results").innerHTML = side_bar_html;
map.fitBounds(bounds);
map.setCenter(bounds.getCenter());
} else {
loadEarth();
}
} // end AJAX success
}); // end AJAX
} // end go()
if ($('#places_page').is('.empty')) {
loadEarth(0,8);
} else go();
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit:
As requested, here's a sample of the XML received. In this case, the PHP variables at the start of the script would receive the following values:
$position_lat: 46.9479222
$position_lng: 7.4446085
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><markers>
<marker place_id="955" lat="46.950218" lng="7.442429">
<label><![CDATA[<em>Place 955</em><strong>3011 Bern</strong>]]></label>
<infowindow>
<![CDATA[<p><em>Place 955</em><br />Speichergasse 35<br />3011 <ins>Bern</ins></p>]]>
</infowindow>
</marker>
<marker place_id="985" lat="46.942032" lng="7.389993">
<label><![CDATA[<em>Place 985</em><strong>3018 Bern</strong>]]></label>
<infowindow>
<![CDATA[<p><em>Place 985</em><br />Brünnenstrasse 106A<br />3018 <ins>Bern</ins></p>]]>
</infowindow>
</marker>
</markers>
The Google Maps API is included via this line:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3&sensor=true&language=fr&key=..."></script>
Edit 2:
Changing the API call to force it to use version 3.18 does fix the problem:
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?v=3.18&sensor=true&language=fr&key=..."></script>
Obviously this is a temporary fix, since v. 3.18 won't always be available. Now I need to understand what change in the 3.19 version made this bug appear. Any suggestion is still appreciated. :)

This undocumented usage:
infoWindow.content = html;
May be the issue. Should be:
infoWindow.setContent(html);
The .content property went away or is no longer supported issue

Google Maps centre changing issue

I'm using a combination of Google Maps, GeoXML and MarkerClusterer to map historic texts to places. The user can choose the texts they want to map, and the page goes and gets the KML for those group of texts and displays it with MarkerClusterer.
Something is causing the page to recenter over India/China when new texts are selected (bottom left corner: http://lakes.jhadley.net/lit_file.htm.
Here is the primary function that deals with the map:
function loadMap(myLat, myLong, zoomLevel, generatedUrl) {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(myLat, myLong),
zoom: zoomLevel,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var mcOptions = {gridSize: 80, maxZoom: 15};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), mapOptions);
markerclusterer = new MarkerClusterer(map, [], mcOptions);
var myParser = new geoXML3.parser({
map: map,
singleInfoWindow:true,
suppressInfoWindows:true,
createMarker:function(placemark){
var point = placemark.latlng;
var info = "<pre" + placemark.name + "<br /><br />" + placemark.description + "</pre>";
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position:point});
//Suppress the speachbubbles and have them appear in a text window instead
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
var text = placemark.description.replace(/ target="_blank"/ig, "");
showInContentWindow(text);
}); //Add listener
markerclusterer.addMarker(marker);
}
});
myParser.parse("http://lakes.jhadley.net/generateKml/"+generatedUrl);
function showInContentWindow(text) {
var sidediv = document.getElementById('kwic_window');
sidediv.innerHTML = text;
} //showInContentWindow
} //function loadMap
I can't personally see why the map centre is being repositioned over India/China when new texts are loaded. Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

by default geoxml3 attempts to zoom to fit the data. If you don't want it to do that, set the "zoom" option to false. From the documentation:
zoom | boolean (true) | If true, the parser will automatically move the map to a best-fit of the geodata after parsing of a KML document completes.
That is where the "center" of the markers are:

Getting data stored in additional field of googlemap's marker

I'm working with google maps api and javascript which I am not much familiar with. Here's the code I use to draw markers on my map. I get Latitudes and Longitudes from my database:
var geocoder;
var map;
var jsonStr = '<?php echo json_encode($arajka) ?>';
var LatLong = JSON.parse(jsonStr);
function initialize() {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(50.000001, 20.000001),
zoom: 12
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"),
mapOptions);
var marker = [];
for(var i=0;i<LatLong.length;i++){
var LatLong1 = new google.maps.LatLng(LatLong[i].lat, LatLong[i].lon);
marker.ajdi=LatLong[i].id; // storing additional data (I need to get it when user clicks on certain marker)
marker.push(new google.maps.Marker({position: LatLong1, map: map, title: LatLong[i].login}));
}
// trying to set some listener but it fails.
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
map.setZoom(8);
map.setCenter(marker.getPosition());
alert("ASDASDASD" + marker.ajdi);
});
}
So, this listener doesn't work, I don't know why. Well, I expect that it doesn't exactly know what marker is it about. When I tried to do it with a single one, like in tutorial, it worked properly. I don't know what to do when I have this array. Any suggestions please?

You have several mistakes in your code:
As #Hollister mentions, marker is an array, so you need to put the addListener call inside the loop;
You have to store the additional marker data into the marker, not into the marker array;
you have to use this in the listener, not marker.
for(var i=0;i<LatLong.length;i++){
var LatLong1 = new google.maps.LatLng(LatLong[i].lat, LatLong[i].lon);
var this_marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: LatLong1, map: map, title: LatLong[i].login});
this_marker.ajdi=LatLong[i].id; // storing additional data (I need to get it when user clicks on certain marker)
marker.push(this_marker);
// trying to set some listener but it fails.
google.maps.event.addListener(this_marker, 'click', function() {
map.setZoom(8);
map.setCenter(this.getPosition());
alert("ASDASDASD" + this.ajdi);
});
}
