Google map with css "transform:scale" - css

Good afternoon,
I have an issue with a google map and css "transform:scale".
My aim is to scale the map to 1.1 if the map is hovered. But if i do this i cant click the markern anymore. I have tried to solve it with jquery but i got no success.
Anybody here who has a solution?
Here is a fiddle: JSFIDDLE
I tought that first switch the scaled size, then load the map, and then switch to old size will get it to work, but no success.
Here is my abortive try..
$("#map").hover(function(){
$("#map").width(880).height(617.1).load('/index.html', function () {
initialize();
}).width(800).height(561);
});
Thanks for helping

The problem is quite easy to explain, but unfortunately I haven't good solution now.
Take a look: http://take.ms/2E3fV
On image I mark rectangle which shows where exactly is now an element wchich responds for a click action on google map marker. So simply, when You scale map with CSS, each image scales too but position coordinates (left, right, top, bottom) don't change.
Theoreticaly You can inspect Google Map's code and fix this position in any way, but:
it's not universal solution (not for dynamic pin for example)
it can be changed in future (class name, or even whole solution)
it's rather hack than solution

what's your intens using transform:scale ?
why don't you use zoom for that ?
check my code snippet i edited from yours, may be this help you...
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882, 131.044922);
var myLatlng2 = new google.maps.LatLng(-22.363882, 125.044922);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatlng
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), mapOptions);
var contentString = "Pls help me to get the right position :)"
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: contentString
});
var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng,
map: map,
title: 'First Marker'
});
var marker2 = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatlng2,
map: map,
title: 'Sec Marker'
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, 'mouseover', function () {
map.setZoom(14);
infowindow.open(map, marker1);
});
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
#map {
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
margin: auto;
padding: 0px;
top:100px;
}
.scale {
transition: all .2s ease-in-out;
}
#map.scale:hover {
transform: scale(1.9);
}

div style cursor pointer is not working in chrome

I have added custom controller to google map api.
one div in the custom controller should be clickable.
I have added cursor:pointer as the style.
It works well in firefox but not in chrome.
In chrome browser, it displays the hand icon but click action
is not working.
This is the code I added to my html file for add the html to the custom controller.
controlText.innerHTML = '<div id="newid" class="myclass" style="width:380px; margin-left:40px; margin-bottom:20px;">Click here to proceed</div></div>';
I have added to the click event listner as following.
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_LEFT].clear();
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_RIGHT].clear();
var inputfieldControlDiv = document.createElement('div');
var inputfieldControl = new TextfieldControl(inputfieldControlDiv, map);
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_LEFT].push(inputfieldControlDiv);
css file
.myclass{
cursor:pointer;
}
Tested it in Mozzila, Opera, IE11, Chrome and it works (it always shows the cursors specified in your class)
Here is the fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/eugensunic/kphe5fbL/10/
I've included the following code of yours: controlText.innerHTML = '<div id="newid" class="myclass" style="width:380px; margin-left:40px; margin-bottom:20px;">Click here to proceed</div></div>'; and the clearing as well altought I believe they are not necessary.
Here is the full code JS that is in the fiddle:
var map;
var london = new google.maps.LatLng(51.508742, -0.120850);
function TextfieldControl(controlDiv, map) {
var controlUI = document.createElement('div');
controlDiv.appendChild(controlUI);
var controlText = document.createElement('div');
controlText.innerHTML = '<div id="newid" class="myclass" onclick="alert()"style="width:380px; margin-left:40px; margin-bottom:20px;">Click here to proceed</div></div>';
controlUI.appendChild(controlText);
}
function initialize() {
var mapDiv = document.getElementById('googleMap');
var myOptions = {
zoom: 12,
center: london,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, myOptions);
var homeControlDiv = document.createElement('div');
var homeControl = new TextfieldControl(homeControlDiv, map);
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_LEFT].clear();
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_RIGHT].clear();
map.controls[google.maps.ControlPosition.BOTTOM_LEFT].push(homeControlDiv);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
Of-course, the cursor will switch to value "default" at some point because of your margins css set to some pixels.
EDIT
The only other issue that could make the obstruction here is that you have developer tools tab open, this has been solved in this stackoverflow thread:
url: mouse hover on anchor tag does not display pointer cursor. Behavior observed on Chrome, works fine on IE 9?
If you still have problems then you shoul reveal your TestfieldControl function.

How to make an info window clickable?

I have the below code, based on one of the API samples. A click on the map creates a marker. A click on the marker opens up an info window. Now I want a click on the info window to do something. E.g. a click anywhere might close it, as opposed to the little cross in the corner. Or a click on it might open a new URL. Etc.
Unfortunately it seems there is no "click" event for info windows.
The closest I've got is shown as a commented out line below: I wrap my info window content in a div, and give that an onClick. This works, but there is a big border around it. I really want to be able to click anywhere in the info window box.
Is there a way?

if (useragent.indexOf('iPhone') != -1 || useragent.indexOf('Android') != -1 ) {
mapdiv.style.width = '100%';
mapdiv.style.height = '100%';
} else {
mapdiv.style.width = '400px';
mapdiv.style.height = '600px';
}
var mapOptions = {
zoom:3,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(37.09024, -95.712891),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function(event) {
placeMarker(event.latLng);
});
function placeMarker(location) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: location,
map: map
});
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
//content: "<div onClick='test1()'>(lat,lng):<br/>"+location.lat()+","+location.lng()+"</div>"
content: "(lat,lng):<br/>"+location.lat()+","+location.lng()
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(marker.get('map'), marker);
infowindow.addListener('click',test1); //Does nothing
});
}
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
function test1(){alert("test1");}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="map-canvas"></div>
</body>
</html>
UPDATE:
This image shows the problem when I use a clickable div inside the content (background set to red to show the extent of the region I can make clickable, and also that I can style; if I set a negative margin I just get scrollbars, not a bigger region!). It is the whole white area I want to be clickable, not just that red rectangle.
I decided to use InfoBox found in the Google Maps Utility Library. So in the header add a link to the library. Then replace the new google.maps.InfoWindow() line with this one:
var infowindow = new InfoBox({
closeBoxURL:"",
content: '<div onClick="test1();return false;" style="background:white;opacity:0.8;padding:8px">(lat,lng):<br/>'+
location.lat()+","+location.lng()+"</div>"
});
By setting closeBoxUrl to a blank string I get no close option. I added a large padding just so you can see that clicking right to the edge does indeed work.
You can also do it this way. I also use the boxClass option so the formatting is done in CSS:
var infoContent=document.createElement('div');
infoContent.innerHTML="(lat,lng):<br/>"+location.lat()+","+location.lng();
infoContent.onclick=test1;
var infowindow = new InfoBox({
closeBoxURL:"",
boxClass:"marker_popup",
content: infoContent,
});
(Aside, if doing it this way, on just some browsers it creates a marker below the InfoBox! Simplest fix is to change test1 so it looks like: function test1(event){alert("test1");event.preventDefault();return false;} )
P.S. I chose InfoBox over InfoBubble, as the latter has no documentation, and it had no obvious advantages to compensate for that major flaw! InfoBox has documentation and a reference. (links are for version 1.1.9)

Error when adding google map to page

I'm trying to add the google map with a marker into my form in order to help users choose the location, but it went wrong somewhere.
As you see, the map didn't display correctly in its area. I've put a marker into the map and also set center there, but the location of that marker is not correct, it hides outside the initial map (in the top right of the map above, instead of the center).
When I hit the F12 button to enable Firebug (in firefox), the map display correctly
Here's the code for creating the form and adding google map:
The form in index.html file:
<div id="map_company" style="float: left; width: 500px;height: 350px;">
<label style="margin-bottom: 5px;">Chọn vị trí hãng xe trên bản đồ:</label>
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 100%; height: 100%; position: relative;"></div>
</div>
And the javascript in the script file:
//add map to company tab
//Set Center
var myOptions =
{
center: new google.maps.LatLng(21.044813, 105.79864),
zoom: 13,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
zoomControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.SMALL
}
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),
myOptions);
var comMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(21.044813, 105.79864),
map: map,
draggable: true
});
google.maps.event.addListener(comMarker, 'dragend', function {
document.getElementById("cLat").value = this.getPosition().lat();
document.getElementById("cLon").value = this.getPosition().lng();
});
Can anyone help me to figure out the problem here, I even don't know how to explain it to google.
It appears that you use tabs.
When yes, you must trigger the resize-event of the map when the tab with the map has been selected.
Give your map_canvas a fixed size (in pixels, not percentage) and remove the position = relative. If you use percentages the parent node must also have a size, otherwise it make no sense, (100% of what?).
<div id="map_canvas" style="width: 400px; height: 300px;"></div>

Ember.js: Google Maps View

I'm trying to create a View for Google Maps, and actually got it to work according to some examples I found.
the problem is that the map draws correctly only the first time the page is displayed,
if routes are changed and then a map is being drawn again it looks "distorted".
the examples I found are "one page" part of apps.
View:
App.LocationView = Ember.View.extend({
templateName: 'location',
MapView: Ember.View.extend({
map: null,
latitudeBinding: 'controller.content.geometry.lat',
longitudeBinding: 'controller.content.geometry.lng',
didInsertElement: function() {
var mapOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(0, 0),
zoom: 16,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
mapTypeControl: false
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(this.$().get(0),mapOptions);
this.set('map',map); //save for future updations
this.$().css({ width: "550px", height: "400px" });
},
reRenderMap : function(){
var newLoc = new google.maps.LatLng(this.get('latitude'), this.get('longitude'));
this.get('map').setCenter(newLoc);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(this.get('latitude'), this.get('longitude')),
map: this.get('map')
});
}.observes('latitude','longitude')
})
});
I show the map with {{view view.MapView}} inside a div#map-holder, in my 'location' template.
I also apply this CSS to the div to "fix" Bootstrap messing with the map controls:
#map-holder img {
max-width: none;
}
how can I fix this ?
EDIT: jsfiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/bsphere/jYfg3/
go to 'settings' and then back to 'map' to see the distorted map
It seems like this is not exactly related to Ember, but to the map redrawing and resizing. With your fiddle, if you resize the browser window, you can see the map displays correctly.
When I saw it, I tried to put the this.$().css({ width: "550px", height: "400px" }); before the contrusction of the map, and it seems to work.

google maps v3 change size of infowindow

I would like to set the size of an infowindow to fit the content inside. The standard infowindow is too wide I tried to use maxWidth but it doesn't seem to work. What is the best way to resize an infowindow?
see code:
window.setContent( inspStates[i].name+ "<br/>"+"total: "+inspStates[i].totalInsp+ "<br/>"+ info);
the information that will be displayed in the bubble looks like this( \n means next line)
NY \ntotal 60 \n2009: 10 \n2010: 20 \n2011: 30
What you want to do is replace the "standard" Googlemaps infoWindow with your own, and put your content into it. Once you replace the standard GM infoWindow, you have a lot of latitude to work with. What I did is this:
Add a new style ID called #infoWindow, and set its width.
#infoWindow {
width: 150px;
}
Outside of any functions within my Javascript, I create a new infoWindow:
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
Create a new var within the function that sets the information displayed by the marker(s), and set its value to the content:
var html = '<div id="infoWindow">';
html += 'NY<br />total 60<br />2009: 10<br />2010: 20<br />2011: 30';
html +='</div>';
Call the createMarker function using the location information you would have created elsewhere, and include the html var as one of the arguments:
var marker = createMarker(point,name,html);
The createMarker function you would declare elsewhere, which would bring all of the information together, display the marker on your map, and display the information above when it's clicked on:
function createMarker(latlng,name,html) {
var contentString = html;
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: name
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infoWindow.setContent(contentString);
infoWindow.open(map,marker);
});
}
Just so everyone is clear, if they stumble on this thread.
All you need to do is set the height and width of a container in the your info window content.
You don't need to override google classes and you don't need to get overly complicated about this.
var contentString = '<div class="map-info-window">'+
'<h1>My Info Window</h1>'+
'<p>Hello World</p>'+
'</div>';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: contentString, });
In my css I have this:
.map-info-window {
width:200px;
height:200px;
}
That's it. That's all you need to do to set the width of a Google Maps InfoWindow.
For me this CSS works fine:
.gm-style-iw {
width: 324px !important;
height: 120px !important;
}
please take a look at following API references and examples:
Google Map V3 Examples:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/
Google Map V3 API Ref:
https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#MapOptions
To set the size of the bubble info-window inside a google map it's enough to add the following css in your CSS file:
.gmap-popup {
max-width:204px;
max-height:110px;
}
Adapted from this discussion.
JFrancis answers is the right one, just don't forget to add "!important" in your CSS when you set the width! This might look like a minor thing, but if you don't do it, your CSS will simply get overwritten!
#infoWindow {
width: 150px !important;
}
