I'm using Rmarkdown to make a report with mapdeck which uses javascript libraries (deckgl,mapboxgl, etc) to create maps.
Once I generate the map object I can scroll and zoom around and inspect the window. What'd I'd like to do is after I scroll and zoom, extract the current zoom and center location from the browser console/inspect window so I can hard code that as a starting point. As it is, I'm constantly guessing and checking (lots of rerendering the map) a starting location and zoom level to fine tune the starting point which seems unnecessary.
I found in the console mapboxgl.getZoom but that comes back as undefined. Is it possible to get that info from the console?
Use show_view_state = TRUE to get a live overlay of the view's "state"
mapdeck(show_view_state = TRUE)

I am trying baidu map module on Drupal 7.x . It is not displaying the map from some reason.
The map is there. Once I switch the view(satellite view, normal view), the map starts to show up.
Open the firebug and I find that Baidu is returning a piece of JavaScript code containing "document.write" which does the the painting of the map as it seems.
But this is the farthest I can go, I don't know how to touble shoot this.
Any help would be appreciated.

This may be due to the zoom level when the map is loaded. Please reduce one zoom level and check it again its working for zoom level of 15. but your default zoom level is 16.
It may also be the case that you have not set the default zoom level. Check after setting the default zoom level.
I am trying to automate the process of turning display layers on and off in a modeling program using AutoIt. I am currently using code that simply simulates a mouse-click at a particular pixel position and as that of course needs to be set up differently depending on the screen being used at the time, I would like to replace the mouse-click simulation with getting the information from the window, looking for a certain text, then checking or unchecking the "Map" and "Legend" check boxes.
My problem is that I don't know how to do that. If someone has a good way to include or point to screen shots let me know but until then I will try to describe everything the best that I can.
The window:
The window I am referring to is titled "Map Layers". The area that I am specifically interested is looks like a large list box (it takes up the vast majority of the window space) and it has 4 columns: Layer Name, Map, Legend, and Sample. Name has the name of the layer, Map has a check box to control which layers are displayed, Legend has a check box that controls which layers appear in the legend window, and Sample for some layers has the symbol that will appear in the legend. for my purpose the Sample column is irrelevant.
AutoIt v3 Window Info:
When I use the finder tool I can't get it to highlight the "list box" area, only the surrounding boarder that it and some buttons are in. The window info says that this surrounding boarder area (which seems similar to a panel) has a class of Button.
So my fundamental question is what code to use to drill into that "Button", find out what the list view looking thing is, and get the info from it, then interact with the map and legend check boxes without referring to pixel location (or at least grammatically get the pixel position).
If I have left out any important information or was unclear anywhere please let me know.
Edit: Forgot to mention and don't know if it helps but the info given using the finder tool for the column headers is Control: Class: SysHeader32
Try RanorexSpy and see if it can give you more details.
I'm using the Google Maps API to browse my own maps. The problem is, I only have one rather small resolution file, that I wanna display fully at level 0, which means it's not gonna get any more accurate when zooming. I still wanna be able to zoom though, by just enlarging the image. This would be useful for the markers and polygons I intend to draw on it, as they could be viewed in larger detail.
I could just create dummy tiles, that show no higher resolution than the original, but that seems like a roundabout solution that would do nothing but create more unnecessary server requests for the map files, as well as more traffic.
The problem seems to be the getTileUrl() function, as it is required. I can't think of a clever way to abuse it either, to only show different sections of the same map.
I know it already supports image enlarging, as you can observe the effect when you zoom in. The question is, if you could make that effect permanent somehow, and not make the image disappear if no new image is provided.
Suggestion:
Use the ImageMapType only to hide tiles at all(therefore let getTileUrl() simply return null)
For your own map don't use tiles, create a GroundOverlay instead.
I've inherited a small project. The person before me created a native app for iPhone, implemented in objective-c, and my job is to remake it as a webapp with PhoneGap for iOS and Android.
In my predecessor's original implementation, part of the app has the functionality of allowing the user to drop a marker on a map to select a location. I found a comparable way of doing this, but the supervisor wants the exact way she'd done it, which I'm having a little trouble with. Let me describe:
In her native app, the map appears with a marker in the center of it. The user then slides the map around beneath the marker (which stays in place on the screen), until the marker is positioned over the spot they want. Then they hit a button marked "Select," and those coordinates are sent to the app for irrelevant other operations.
I'm trying to do the exact same thing with the google-maps javascript api and html/css, and I can't figure it out. Do any of you Gmaps pros have any ideas?
You may observe the center_changed-Event of the map. When it fires set the position of the marker to the new center of the map.
Another suggestion:
For a better effect instead of a marker you may use a custom control. You may insert a marker-image there so it will look like a marker. To place it in the center, push the control to
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.RIGHT_CENTER]
(it will be vertically centered then) and apply the horizontal centering by adding a right-margin to the control
I am working on a map for which I have multiple tiles sources that I want to be able to activate and deactivate using a menu on the side. Each tile set works independently when overlayed as an image map type, however I apparently can't show more than one of these at a time.
In any case, is it possible to display tiles from multiple tile url's? If not, then should I make some super overlay of tiles from all of my sources, and try to control which get loaded?
You can load and show as much tiles as you want to.
I can't tell you what went wrong in your approach without any code,
so I made an example: http://jsfiddle.net/doktormolle/NNJRn/
