I have a button that toggles a chart on the page I'm creating. First I created it using the google maps api example, but then I found out there is no way to position it in a custom location except the predefined places, so I recreated it with html/css in my grid.
It works, however when I'm using .load() to replace the map canvas and chart with a new set, the if-else statement is ignored and with one mouse click the console log writes: click2, click. The map is not resized and the chart just jumps in and out. Also the classes I'm adding and removing are stay intact.
var chartbtn = document.getElementById('chart-id');
google.maps.event.addDomListener(chartbtn, 'click', function(event) {
if( $(chartbtn).hasClass('open') ) {
$('.plot').animate({"bottom" : "-190px"}, 200);
$('#map_canvas').height( winHeight - 40 + 'px');
$(chartbtn).removeClass('open').addClass('closed');
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
map.fitBounds(bounds);
console.info('click');
} else {
$('.plot').animate({"bottom" : "0px"}, 200);
$('#map_canvas').height( winHeight - 230 + 'px');
$(chartbtn).removeClass('closed').addClass('open');
google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize');
var newbounds = map.getBounds();
map.fitBounds(newbounds);
console.info('click2');
}
});
How come that everything works with the newly loaded map (xml data, markers, infowindows etc.) but not this click function?

I already added a map load listener after which i start adding markers to the cluster.
I wanna display a loading screen till the markerclusterer finishes the marker loading.
so how do i do that ?
this is my hide loading screen code which hides on map tiles load.
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'tilesloaded', function() {
$("#loading").hide();
});
I know it's an old one but for anyone in the same situation I sort of found a solution.
Right after you are creating your cluster
markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map,
markers,
{
imagePath:
"/img/m/"
});
Add a listener for 'zoom_changed' like that:
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map,
'zoom_changed',
function(event) {
console.log("zoom occured");
});
(The listener once being key here, you don't want it to run every time the user zooms, you don't even need to set a different zoom value, nothing will happen visually)
and then:
map.setZoom(10);
I am using the same value (10) as in my InitMap function, so the user doesn't see any zoom in or outs.
I've done well by my standards! I have pretty much zero knowledge of JS other than the basics of Functions etc. Ive used these pages to pull together a working script that loads Google Maps into a Modal using the SimpleModal framework. To my relief I got it working but it has one final bug that I cannot shift. The Modal loads on the first click of the HREF but if I close the modal and then try to reopen it it loads the modal with parts of the map missing. The missing map issue was a problem i thought I had already solved. My JS is
var map;
var src = 'https://sites.google.com/site/bristol2monaco/kml/route2.kml';
function initialize() {
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(51.337890,-0.813049);
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("basic-modal-content"), {
center: myLatlng,
zoom: 7,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
loadKmlLayer(src, map);
}
function loadKmlLayer(src, map) {
var kmlLayer = new google.maps.KmlLayer(src, {
suppressInfoWindows: true,
clickable: false,
preserveViewport: true,
map: map
});
}
initialize();
and the js file that registers the 'click' contains:
jQuery(function ($) {
// Load dialog on page load
//$('#basic-modal-content').modal();
// Load dialog on click
$('#table .newbasic').click(function (e) {
$('#basic-modal-content').modal();
var center = map.getCenter();
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
map.setCenter(center);
return false;
});
});
As i thought i had already solved the missing map bug (using solutions posted here) with the (map, resize) line above none of the solutions on here help. Do i have to reinitialise the map or something. Grateful for advice.
When you call the modal to open use the onOpen Function described by Eric Martin. With using his onOpen function you will be able to use the callback feature and thusly use the google map event-listener to listen for the resize event. Once the resize event has been heard, you can reinitialize your google map thusly removing the gray areas
$("#table .newbasic").modal({
onOpen: function (dialog) {
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(map, 'resize', function() {
//Alert TESTING IF RESIZE is heard(remove after test)
alert("heard resize onOpen");
initialize();
map.setCenter(center);
});
google.maps.event.trigger(map, "resize");
}
});
My site consists of a Leaflet map with the leaflet.markerclusters plugin. I am also using Flowplayer to play a video that opens in a JQuery Tools overlay using the selector id "#video1".
Currently, when I click on any marker on the map it fires my test video in an overlay. My goal is to create a click event unique to each individual marker in the cluster. Eventually, I would like every marker to have a click event that fires a video unique to that marker.
I am a beginner, and have been doing okay using these well documented libraries up until now. However, I don't have the skills to bridge this current gap. Would someone please give me a push in the right direction? Below is a link to my JS Fiddle. My issue begins on JavaScript line 2098.
var markers = new L.MarkerClusterGroup();
var addressPoints = [
[40.634902, -73.965054, "Video1"],
[40.660897, -73.961082, "Video2"],
[40.693353, -73.970413, "Video3"],
[40.693289, -73.966289, "Video4"],
[40.68973, -73.971007, "Video5"],
[40.718423, -73.957428, "Video6"],
[40.71817, -73.956918, "Video7"],
[40.681427, -73.993959, "Video8"]
];
for (var i = 0; i < addressPoints.length; i++) {
var a = addressPoints[i];
var title = a[2];
var marker = new L.Marker(new L.LatLng(a[0], a[1]), {
title: title
});
marker.bindPopup(title);
markers.addLayer(marker);
}
map.addLayer(markers);
//assign video div ID to overlay
$('#video1').overlay({
load: false,
top: "center",
left: "center"
});
//bind marker click event to overylay
markers.on('click', function () {
$("#video1").data("overlay").load();
});
Thank you,

You are headed in the right direction with the markers.on("click"... function. You just need to make a few edits. Just as you added the event listener to the entire "markers" layer, you can add it to individual markers in your for loop.
...
for (var i = 0; i < addressPoints.length; i++) {
var a = addressPoints[i];
var title = a[2];
var marker = new L.Marker(new L.LatLng(a[0], a[1]), {
title: title
});
if (title=="Video1") {
marker.on('click', function () {
$("#video1").data("overlay").load();
});
}
marker.bindPopup(title);
markers.addLayer(marker);
}
...
Likewise - and probably the better solution - you can access details about the marker you clicked in the on("click"... you are currently using by passing a variable to the function. This would be useful if you have multiple videos and don't want to check with an if statement when creating markers.
markers.on('click', function (d) {
// Grab marker title and make it look like an ID
var marker_title = "#" + d.layer.options.title.toLowerCase();
// Make sure the jQuery object exists
if ( $(marker_title) ){
// Call up the video.
$(marker_title).data("overlay").load();
}
});
Note that I used toLowerCase() because your data has the title capitalized and the video id is all lowercase.
Here it is in action:

I have a map with a bunch of markers, and a table of data that corresponds to each marker. When the user clicks on an item in the table, the InfoWindow for the corresponding marker is opened. Everything works fine when the map is zoomed out and the markers are all visible, but if the map is zoomed in, and an InfoWindow for an off-screen marker is opened by clicking the item in the table, here is what happens:
The map scrolls to the correct location, where the InfoWindow already appears open
The map stops panning, and the InfoWindow disappears.
Any suggestions as to what might be going on and how to solve this?
Alright, the issue related to the fact that I was using the Marker Clusterer on the map... essentially, the following was happening:
Click item in table, InfoWindow opens
Map gets panned to the location to display the InfoWindow
When panning is complete, the Marker Clusterer was then re-drawing (if needed), and forcing the InfoWindow closed.
My solution was that when an item in the table is clicked, I get the corresponding Marker's latlng, manually pan to this location, wait for the panning to complete via the 'idle' listener, and when complete (and the Clusterer has done it's re-draw), THEN I open the InfoWindow.
// get map, marker positions
var mapLatLng = GLOBAL_map.getCenter();
var markerLatLng = GLOBAL_markers[index].getPosition();
// pan the map
if(!markerLatLng.equals(mapLatLng)) {
// map will need to pan
GLOBAL_map.panTo(markerLatLng);
google.maps.event.addListenerOnce(GLOBAL_map, 'idle', function() {
// open InfoWindow
GLOBAL_infowindow.setContent(GLOBAL_markers_content[index]);
GLOBAL_infowindow.open(GLOBAL_map, GLOBAL_markers[index]);
});
} else {
// map won't be panning, which wouldn't trigger 'idle' listener
GLOBAL_infowindow.setContent(GLOBAL_markers_content[index]);
GLOBAL_infowindow.open(GLOBAL_map, GLOBAL_markers[index]);
}
This drove me crazy. My solution is simpler, though. I just set a timer so I don't refresh the map within one second after a pin is clicked.
start with the global:
// global timer variable
var clickTime = Date.now() - 1001;
then define you marker click like:
marker.addListener('click', function() {
infoWindow.setContent(infowincontent);
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
clickTime = Date.now();
});
then set up your idle like:
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'idle', function () {
if (Date.now() > (clickTime + 1000))
updateMap();
});
Don't use idle event. Use dragend and zoom_changed events from the API spec instead which will allow you to open your infoBoxes without refreshing the map.
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'dragend', function() {
getMarkers();
});
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'zoom_changed', function() {
getMarkers();
});
Does any one have a clue how to add an info windows to the cluster markers, containing the merged markers info window content?
This is an of the default marker clusterer behaviour:

thanks
You should listen to the clusterclick event on the markercluster. The object that is passed into the event contains an array of markers that are in the cluster and the position of the cluster.
google.maps.event.addListener(markerCluster, 'clusterclick', function(cluster) {
markers = cluster.getMarkers();
info = "";
$.each(markers, function(x, marker) {
if(me.infowindows[marker.__gm_id]){
info = info + "<br/>" + me.infowindows[marker.__gm_id].content;
}
});
.....
something like that works, you get the markers associated with the clusterclick. and then loop through the infowindows, i'm not sure how yours is set up. but the above code should make sense.
you also need to disable the zoom on click as the clusters get re-drawn for each zoom.
var contentString = 'This is an example';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: contentString
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open(map,marker);
});
