Fit bounds Google Maps API issue - google-maps-api-3

I'm trying to show a marker on a map with set coordinates and then show the users geolocation in relation to the marker. I'm able to show both the marker and geo location (if available) on the map but the map is only positioned on the geo location. I think I need to use fitBounds to fit both markers in view but I can't get this to work. Can anyone help?
function initialize() {
var latitude = 51.5039713;
var longitude = -0.114518;
var mapCanvas = document.getElementById('map-directions');
var center = new google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude);
var zoom = 18;
var mapOptions = {
center: center,
zoom: zoom,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
scrollwheel: false
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(mapCanvas, mapOptions)
marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map:map,
animation: google.maps.Animation.DROP,
position: center,
icon: '/pickup.png'
});
// Try HTML5 geolocation
if(navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds();
var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
var geolocation = new google.maps.Marker({position: pos, map: map, title: 'Your geolocation', });
bounds.extend(geolocation.getPosition());
map.fitBounds(bounds);
}, function() {
handleNoGeolocation(true);
});
} else {
// Browser doesn't support Geolocation
handleNoGeolocation(false);
}
}

initialize the bounds with the position of marker as argument:
var bounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(center);
Related to the comment:
To have both markers in viewport but 1 in center you may:
create a circle` with:
pos as `center
the distance between pos and center as radius
call map.fitBounds() by using the bounds of the circle as argument
var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,
position.coords.longitude),
circle = new google.maps.Circle({center:pos,
radius: google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween(pos,center)}),
geolocation = new google.maps.Marker({position: pos, map: map, title: 'Your geolocation'});
map.fitBounds(circle.getBounds());

Show data for individual marker in Google Maps API markerclusterer

How can you show data for individual markers?
I am able to show custom data when a mouseover occurs on a Google Maps API markerclusterer cluster but can't work out how to do the same for an individual marker (i.e. when you zoom in to a cluster until you see individual markers).
The code which shows data for the clusters is:
var markerClusterer = null;
var map = null;
var imageUrl = 'http://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=mm&chs=24x32&' +
'chco=FFFFFF,008CFF,000000&ext=.png';
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
function refreshMap() {
if (markerClusterer) {
markerClusterer.clearMarkers();
}
var markers = [];
var markerImage = new google.maps.MarkerImage(imageUrl,
new google.maps.Size(24, 32));
for (var i = 0; i < numItemsToShow; ++i) {
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(itemsToShow[i].lat, itemsToShow[i].long);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
icon: markerImage
});
markers.push(marker);
}
var zoom = parseInt(document.getElementById('zoom').value, 10);
var size = parseInt(document.getElementById('size').value, 10);
var style = parseInt(document.getElementById('style').value, 10);
zoom = zoom == -1 ? null : zoom;
size = size == -1 ? null : size;
style = style == -1 ? null: style;
markerClusterer = new MarkerClusterer(map, markers, {
maxZoom: zoom,
gridSize: size,
styles: styles[style]
});
// Respond to mouseover on marker cluster
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
google.maps.event.addListener(markerClusterer, 'mouseover', function (cluster) {
// do something with this cluster ...
infoWindow.setContent("Mouseover<br>"+cluster.getCenter().toUrlValue());
infoWindow.setPosition(cluster.getCenter());
infoWindow.open(map);
});
// HOW TO RESPOND TO MOUSEOVER ON INDIVIDUAL MARKER?
}
Add a click listener to the google.maps.Marker objects:
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(itemsToShow[i].lat, itemsToShow[i].long);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
icon: markerImage
});
// slightly modified from Google Maps JS API v3 - Simple Multiple Marker Example
// http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3059044/google-maps-js-api-v3-simple-multiple-marker-example
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
return function() {
infowindow.setContent(ItemsToShow[i].lat+","+itemsToShow[i].long);
infowindow.open(map, marker);
}
})(marker, i));

Count and output number of markers bound by circle radius

I have a map thats populated with markers of places from a fusion table. I'm taking the users location and displaying a circle of radius 10 miles from their location. Here is my code - http://connormccarra.com/sandbox/map/. How can I use the api to count the number of markers bound by the circle and output that number in the footer?
Cheers!
Relevant code:
var map;
function Initialize() {
var MapOptions = {
zoom: 7,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(53.4125694, -8.245014),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
sensor: true
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), MapOptions);
var layer = new google.maps.FusionTablesLayer({
query: {
select: 'Address',
from: '1OPU6utSjRYwJSFK-EXdaGmt2KgLTq2loVIjS3AA'
}
});
layer.setMap(map);
// Try HTML5 geolocation
if(navigator.geolocation) {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position) {
var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude,
position.coords.longitude);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: pos,
content: 'You are here!'
});
// Add circle overlay and bind to marker
var circle = new google.maps.Circle({
map: map,
radius: 16093, // 10 miles in metres
fillColor: '#AA0000'
});
circle.bindTo('center', marker, 'position');
map.setCenter(pos);
}, function() {
handleNoGeolocation(true);
});
} else {
// Browser doesn't support Geolocation
handleNoGeolocation(false);
}
}
function handleNoGeolocation(errorFlag) {
if (errorFlag) {
var content = 'Error: The Geolocation service failed.';
} else {
var content = 'Error: Your browser doesn\'t support geolocation.';
}
var options = {
map: map,
position: new google.maps.LatLng(60, 105),
content: content
};
var count = mgr.getMarkerCount(circle);
document.getElementById("Address").innerHTML += count + "<BR>";
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
//Maps API loaded, now load customizations
var element = document.createElement('script');
element.src = 'template.js';
element.type = 'text/javascript';
var scripts = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0];
scripts.parentNode.insertBefore(element, scripts);
}
The markers created by a FusionTableLayer are not real markers, there is no way to get them as a kind of list to filter them(you can't get any details for the markers, except you click them).
But you may request the FusionTableAPI with a spatial condition(via AJAX, jsonp is supported).
The syntax for the query:
SELECT COUNT() from tableId
WHERE ST_INTERSECTS('Address',CIRCLE(LATLNG(lat,lng),10000))
How to send a query : https://developers.google.com/fusiontables/docs/v1/sql-reference
Demo(using data of another FusionTable because your table is protected):
http://jsfiddle.net/doktormolle/bAtgf/
Simplest way: use the geometry library computeDistanceBetween method. If the distance from the user's location is less than 10 miles, the marker is in the circle.
I suggest you first fetch all the coordinates of your FusionTablesLayer.
Here is an example which was used in the sidebar
http://www.geocodezip.com/v3_FusionTables_AfricaMap_kml_sidebar.html
Then using a loop statement you can use the computeDistanceBetween function.

Google maps Initial marker won''t show up

The code I found for this google map seems to work fine but, The initial marker isn't showing up when I load the map. The map is centered on the initial location but with no Marker. I'm using the php to populate the initial Lat and Lon. Also is there a way to remove the old marker once dragged to a new location?
// global "map" variable
var map = null;
var marker = null;

Create Marker Categories & Display Markers on Click Only

I am trying to create marker categories and display markers on click...
For example, "Eat", "Banks", "Places of Interest" and clicking on them would produce only the markers in those categories. You can see it live HERE
Here is a code snippet:
//<![CDATA[
//<![CDATA[
var map = null;
var gmarkers = [];
var gicons = [];
var icon = [];
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,

mapTypeControl: true,
mapTypeControlOptions: {style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU},
navigationControl: true,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function() {
infowindow.close();
});
// Add markers to the map
// Set up three markers with info windows
///////////////////////// EATS //////////////////////////////////////////////
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(37.988012,-121.311901);
var image = 'icons/orangepointer.png';
var marker = createMarker(point,'<div style="width:205"><center><img src="icons/tigeryogurt.jpg" /></center><br><b>Tiger Yogurt</b><small><br>4343 Pacific Avenue<br>209.952.6042<br><br><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=&daddr=' + point.toUrlValue() + '" target ="_blank">Get Directions<\/a></small><\/div>', image);
// this will be gmarkers[0]
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(37.987054,-121.311655);
var image = 'icons/orangepointer.png';
var marker = createMarker(point,'<div style="width:205"><center><img src="icons/mwbakery.jpg" /></center><br><b>M&W Bakery<br>Cakes & Sandwiches</b><small><br>4343 Pacific Avenue<br>209.473.3828<br><br>On the web visit:<br><a href="http://www.mandwdutchamericanbakery.com" target ="_blank">MandWDutchAmericanBakery.com<\/a><br><br><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=&daddr=' + point.toUrlValue() + '" target ="_blank">Get Directions<\/a></small><\/div>', image);
// this will be gmarkers[1]
Currently, all markers display. I can easily get the markers not to display... however, i am trying to have only categories display and individual listings to display on click only!
CREATE MARKER FUNCTION:
}
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(
{
size: new google.maps.Size(150,50)
});
function triggerClick(i) {
google.maps.event.trigger(gmarkers[i],"click")
};
function createMarker(latlng, html, img) {
var contentString = html;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
icon: img,
zIndex: Math.round(latlng.lat()*-100000)<<5
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(contentString);
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
gmarkers.push(marker);
}
I would think the simplest way to do it would be to assign your markers to arrays, with each marker upon creation having setMarker(null). You'd either use a separate array for each category, or a single array of objects each with a category attribute. Then when the user clicks on a category you would iterate through the appropriate array and setMarker(map) for each of its markers.

Google Maps API v3 port

I am trying to port my google api v2 to v3 but it does not work....i get an "Polyline is not defined" error... :/ the old Polyline is GPolyline and the new is new google.maps.Polyline
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/overlays?hl=de-DE#Polylines
var map = "";
var mapConfig = "";
var mapElements = "";
var curActiveMenuButton = "";
var clickHandlerElementCount = "";
//window.onload = function() {
//window.addEvent('domready', function() {
//document.addEvent('domready', function() {
//alert("The DOM is ready.");
//initializeMap();
//});
/*
* function initializeMap()
*
* Initalisierung der Google-Map.
*/
function initializeMap(){
// Karte ins DOM einhängen
map = new google.maps.Map($('map_canvas'), myOptions);
//place the map on the canvas
//map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.05758110879136, 10.451431274414062);
// default zoomlevel and center point
var myOptions = {
zoom: 12,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
navigationControl: true,
mapTypeControl: true,
scaleControl: true,
};
// default zoomlevel and center point
var encodedPolyline = new google.maps.Polyline();
// find bounding polyline and recalculate map center
for (var i = 0; i < mapElements.length; i++) {
if (mapElements[i]['titel'] == "nationalparkhainich") {
encodedPolyline = Polyline.fromEncoded({
points: mapElements[i]['pol'],
levels: mapElements[i]['lev']
});
mapCenter = encodedPolyline.getBounds().getCenter();
i = mapElements.length;
}
}
// Kartenmenue initialisieren
//initializeMapMenue();
}
Polyline is indeed not defined. You use it here:
encodedPolyline = Polyline.fromEncoded({
Version 3 doesn't include fromEncoded() — it appears that you need to use the geometry library (which needs to be explicitly loaded separately) and
encodedPolyline.setPath(
google.maps.geometry.encoding.decodePath(mapElements[i]['pol'])
);
[split on to separate lines here for clarity]
