So I have this:
<iframe src="https://mapsengine.google.com/map/embed?mid=zkXLRR9SQKDQ.kfLF9HxBaALo&z=15" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>
I managed to find the zoom code on here, however I couldn't find a way to remove the grey bar that appears at the top of the map with my google account stuff.
A screenshot can be found here.
Is there a way to remove this using a URL parameter?
I don't think it's possible to remove the bar. Instead you could use the Google Maps Javascript API. It's fairly easy to use and gives you much more control. Here's an example that loads your location with the right zoom level: plnkr.co.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
html,
body,
#map-canvas {
height: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.4893169, -2.1182648);
var mapOptions = {
center: latLng,
zoom: 15,
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
var image = 'http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/visualpharm/must-have/256/Check-icon.png';
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map,
icon: image
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>

<div id="map-canvas"></div>

Documentation for the API.
If you need a specific style for your map, you can use the Styled Maps Wizard.
Depending on where you put your map on your page, it might conflict with scrolling. If that is the case, then set the scrollwheel option to false. That allows you to scroll over the map without it highjacking the scroll event for it's zoom functionality. I've updated the plnkr to use scrollwheel: false.

I have a web-page here. It uses google maps and it worked well. Recently a new version of google maps was released where some changes were made. For instance, instead of e.latLng.F, e.latLng.lng and instead of e.latLng.A, e.latLng.lat should be used. So far, so good. However, for some reason, the zoom scrollbar cannot be seen. I know one can still zoom with mouse scrolling, however, what about devices where mouse scroll is not defined, like a laptop with a touchpad?
This is a part of initialization:
var mapOptions = {
center: { lat: lat, lng: lon},
zoom: 14
};
if (!administrator) {
mapOptions.mapTypeId = google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID;
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
I believe I should define an attribute for mapOptions, but I do not know what should be defined there. When I searched for this on google, I have not found the answer. It is possible that I will find out the answer soon, but anyway, I ask the question here to make sure that others will have an answer to this question in the future. Thanks.
EDIT:
At this page I can see a zoom control. This is the code there:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script
src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js">
</script>
<script>
function initialize()
{
var mapProp = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(51.508742,-0.120850),
zoom:7,
zoomControl:true,
zoomControlOptions: {
style:google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.SMALL
},
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"),mapProp);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="googleMap" style="width:500px;height:380px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
if I modify it to this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script
src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js">
</script>
<script>
function initialize()
{
var mapProp = {
center: { lat: 51.508742, lng: -0.120850},
zoom:7,
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("googleMap"),mapProp);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="googleMap" style="width:500px;height:380px;"></div>
</body>
</html>
the zoom control is still displayed. I wonder why is the zoom control displayed at w3c and not at my end, since:
both the example and my code uses a div
the properties are initialized in a similar manner
the map is initialized in a similar manner
the dom listener is initialized in a similar manner
They've removed the scroll bar from the newest API, but they left the + and - zoom controls. Strangely, I see that your map doesn't have those either.
This article about the changes made to the map controls might be useful
The zoom control was always displayed, but the footer overflown it. It seems that the zoom control is positioned to the right bottom by default, while earlier it was positioned to the left top by default. The solution is either to make sure that the div where the map is displayed is displayed fully, or to initialize the position of the zoom control, like this:
var mapOptions = {
center: { lat: lat, lng: lon},
zoom: 14,
zoomControlOptions: {
position: google.maps.ControlPosition.LEFT_TOP
}
};
I am following the the steps given in this link
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial
I am getting error after load can you tell me where I wrong ? I already generate key ?

Markup Code as follow:-
// Adds a marker with popup window information
var marker1Latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(35.65654,-106);
var contentString1 = 'I love New Mexico! More about the Land of Enchantment';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: contentString1
});
var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: marker1Latlng,
map: map,
title: 'New Mexico'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map,marker1);
});

Hi Kanika in Fiddle it seems like the API key you are using is not a valid key. You might need to regenerate the API key for Google Maps API Engine from your Google Console.
Change this code lines - basically you don't need a api key in here
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=AIzaSyATC35pv00Ga3hRxP4t5W7NtM9as48PGVQs">
</script>
Replace with
<script type="text/javascript"
src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp">
</script>
I have the following code for a map that I'm working on and I'd like to see if I can put custom markers throughout. The problem is that I can't seem to get the first marker to change position no matter if I input latitude and longitude. Perhaps I'm entering the information incorrectly.

map: map,

});
I still cannot make comments, so I'll answer your comment question here:
As Kostrzak said, you would need to write
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(41.159317, -73.257443),
map: map,
title: 'Hello World!'
});
(Careful with the semicolon instead of the comma. Although it should work anyway, it may throw a bunch of errors on some IDEs).
The position inside the Marker object is expecting coordinates, but not in any form. It needs to have those coordinates given in a specific way: As a LatLng object. Because of this, you need to set those coordinates using the Google JavaScript library, which creates an object with your specified coordinates:
position: new google.maps.LatLng(41.159317, -73.257443)
Here you have SET the position of the marker. If you want to change it, you just need to set
marker.position = new google.maps.LatLng({newLat}, {newLng});
If you opened the console, you'd see a bunch of errors thrown by the position line: "Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token - ". Console logs are pretty helpful most of the times, so use them!
So I'm working on a custom google maps tour type application and I'm wondering how to get media to popup when I click a link within a google maps marker. Ideally this is what I would like to happen:
1. User clicks on marker and the normal white box comes up like on real Google Maps.
2. Within that text box I would like to have a button that will launch media that I have stored on a SQL server somewhere. This media could be audio, pictures, or video.
The code I have so far is below. If anyone could let me know how to do this, or point me in the right direction that would be awesome!
Thanks

I know there is going to need to be some stuff in the onMarker_Clicked() method most likely, I'm just not sure what.
You'll want to use an InfoWindow and call its open() method from the click event handler.

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:

};
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 {

// }
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'
});
