Good morning.
I have the next code which put some markers in a map from a xml file, every 5 seconds I call again the xml file and I update the position of the markers, but the problem is that the infowindows are not updated. Does anyone knows how to update them=
Here you have the code:
//<![CDATA[
var side_bar_html = "";
var gmarkers = [];
var map = null;
var markerclusterer = null;
function myclick(i) {
google.maps.event.trigger(gmarkers[i], "click");
map.setZoom(map.getZoom()+2);
}
function initialize() {
// create the map
var myOptions = {
zoom: 12,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(37.169619,-3.756981),
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);
}
function getMarkers() {
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function() {
infowindow.close();
});
downloadUrl("vehiculos.asp", function(doc) {
var xmlDoc = xmlParse(doc);
var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
// obtain the attribues of each marker
var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat"));
var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"));
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng);
var imei = markers[i].getAttribute("imei");
var alias = markers[i].getAttribute("alias");
var speed= markers[i].getAttribute("speed");
var timestamp= markers[i].getAttribute("timestamp");
var estado= markers[i].getAttribute("estado");
var conectado= markers[i].getAttribute("conectado");
var altitude= markers[i].getAttribute("altitude");
var angle= markers[i].getAttribute("angle");
var html="<b>"+alias+" "+speed+" km/h <br/> "+timestamp;
var marker = createMarker(point,alias+" "+imei,html,estado,alias, speed, timestamp, altitude, angle);
}
markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, gmarkers);
});
}
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow(
{
size: new google.maps.Size(150,60)
});
setInterval(function updateMarkers() {
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function() {
infowindow.close();
});
downloadUrl("vehiculos.asp", function(doc) {
var xmlDoc = xmlParse(doc);
var markers = xmlDoc.documentElement.getElementsByTagName("marker");
for (var i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
// obtain the attribues of each marker
var lat = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lat"));
var lng = parseFloat(markers[i].getAttribute("lng"));
var point = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lng);
var imei = markers[i].getAttribute("imei");
var alias = markers[i].getAttribute("alias");
var speed= markers[i].getAttribute("speed");
var timestamp= markers[i].getAttribute("timestamp");
var estado= markers[i].getAttribute("estado");
var conectado= markers[i].getAttribute("conectado");
var altitude= markers[i].getAttribute("altitude");
var angle= markers[i].getAttribute("angle");
var html="<b>"+alias+" a "+speed+" km/h <br/> "+timestamp;
var newLatLng = gmarkers[i].setPosition(point,alias+" "+imei,html,estado,alias,speed,timestamp,altitude,angle);
}
markerCluster = new MarkerClusterer(map, gmarkers);
});
}, 5000);
//finish updateMarkers
function createMarker(latlng, imei, html, estado, alias, speed, timestamp, altitude, angle) {
if(estado == 1)
image = '/artworks/icons/truck_green3.png';
else
image = '/artworks/icons/truck_red.png';
var textoLabel= alias+" speed: "+ speed+" km/h";
var contentString = html;
var newLatLng = new MarkerWithLabel({
position: latlng,
icon: image,
// map: map,
draggable: true,
flat: true,
labelContent: textoLabel,
labelAnchor: new google.maps.Point(40, 0),
labelClass: "labels", // the CSS class for the label
labelStyle: {
opacity: 0.50
},
zIndex: Math.round(latlng.lat()*-100000)<<5
});
google.maps.event.addListener(newLatLng, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(timestamp + alias);
infowindow.open(map,newLatLng);
});
gmarkers.push(newLatLng);
// side_bar_html += '<a href="javascript:myclick(' + (gmarkers.length-1) + ')">' + imei +'<\/a><br>';
}
You are not assigning the event handler in the setInterval function, so no infowindows.
Add this code to the setInterval() after creating the marker
google.maps.event.addListener(newLatLng, 'click', function() {
infowindow.setContent(timestamp + alias);
infowindow.open(map,newLatLng);
This may result in a closure problem as you are in a loop. So you can do something like the solutions in this Passing values in for loop to event listeners- Javascript.

I am trying to work out how to show custom data when a Google Maps markerclusterer marker is clicked but can't find this documented anywhere.
My markerclusterer code looks like this but my attempt at capturing the click event on a marker is not working:
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 < 1000; ++i) {
var latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.photos[i].latitude,
data.photos[i].longitude)
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
icon: markerImage
});
markers.push(marker);
}
*/
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]
});
}
function initialize() {
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
zoom: 2,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(39.91, 116.38),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,

var refresh = document.getElementById('refresh');
google.maps.event.addDomListener(refresh, 'click', refreshMap);
var clear = document.getElementById('clear');
google.maps.event.addDomListener(clear, 'click', clearClusters);
google.maps.event.addListener(markerClusterer, 'click', function () {
// do something with this marker ...
this.setTitle('I am clicked');
});
refreshMap();
}
function clearClusters(e) {
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
markerClusterer.clearMarkers();
}
This works for me (it opens an infowindow when you mouseover the cluster icon, if you click on the cluster icon, the default behavior is to zoom to the cluster bounds, which makes it hard to see the change of the tooltip/title on the cluster icon):
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);
});
I am trying to delete a polygon when my marker is being clicked,but i could not get how to make this work that the polygon will be deleted.I appreciate someone will help me to make this work.
This my demo in jsfiddle.
Demo
here is my code it's not working.
var map;
var count = 0;
var polycolor = '#ED1B24';
var polyarray = [];
var marker;
var markers = [];
var path = new google.maps.MVCArray;
function initialize() {
var initial = new google.maps.LatLng(53.199246241276875, -105.76864242553711);
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 16,
center: initial,
zoomControl: true,
zoomControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.ZoomControlStyle.LARGE
},
mapTypeControl: false
};
poly.setPaths(new google.maps.MVCArray([path]));
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map_canvas'), mapOptions);
google.maps.event.addListener(map, 'click', function (e) {
addMarker(e);
addPolygon(e);
});
}
var deletepolygon = function (pt) {
i = 0;
var thepath = poly.getPath();
thepath.forEach(function (ltlng) {
i++;
if ((ltlng.lat() + "," + ltlng.lng()) == pt) {
path.removeAt(i);
}
});
}
I am building this JS programmatically. Each marker is being represented by separate variables like marker_0,marker_1, etc... This works but is there a way to generate the markers & info windows in a more efficient/elegant way?
<script type="text/javascript">
var map;
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {

center: new google.maps.LatLng(41.056466,-85.3312009),

}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map-canvas"), mapOptions);
//**************************************************************

Yes, you can do this easily:
Create an array of data that describes each marker.
Write a function that adds a single marker based on the description in one entry of that array.
Call that function for each entry in that array.
So the only part you have to generate dynamically is that array of data; all of the actual marker code is shared for all markers.
Like this:
var map;
var places = [
{
lat: 41.057814980291,
lng: -85.329851919709,
image: 'marker1',
title: '0',
club: 'Fort Wayne Time Corners'
},
{
lat: 41.17805990,
lng: -85.4436640,
image: 'marker2',
title: '1',
club: 'Roanoke'
}
];
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 8,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(41.056466,-85.3312009),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(
document.getElementById("map-canvas"),
mapOptions
);
for( var i = 0; i < places.length; i++ ) {
addPlace( places[i] );
}
function addPlace( place ) {
var content = '<strong>Club name: ' + place.club + '</strong>';
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: content
});
var image = '/js/markers/' + place.image + '.png';
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng( place.lat, place.lng );
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latlng,
title: place.title,
icon: image
});
marker.setMap( map );
google.maps.event.addListener( marker, 'click', function() {
infowindow.open( map, marker );
});
}
}
function loadScript() {
var script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js&sensor=false&callback=initialize";
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
window.onload = loadScript;
I'm trying to close an infowindow wich displays a streetview. When I click on the map, the infowindow is not closed. Also when I click over other marker an infowindow is opened but the streetview opens in the previous infowindow. So I need that the infowindow get closed and displays the streetview. Here is the code: thank you for your help.
Best regards.

}
In your code, at least you should change that defining the infowindow variable as global scope.
your code
function createMarkerParadas() {
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content : contentString
});
...
}
Change to like this;
<script type="text/javascript">
var map, infowindow;
...
function createMarkerParadas() {
infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content : contentString
});
....
}
</script>
this is my example http://gidzior.net/map/v3_animate_marker_directions.html (i'm using placeholder in the input), core of GM code is from geocodezip.com, i develop the code with the great help of Andrew Leach
1500 meters in the animation before the destination is set to zoom could be seen to better reach this destination point, unfortunately, after zoom, animation is not smooth and therefore I set the "step" value to 15, how to reset this value after animation stops
i set step = 15 - if (d>eol-1500 && zoomed!=true) { map.setZoom(15); step = 15; zoomed=true; }

I managed to get to this, thanks anyway
i took var step = 50; to the the top
var map;
var directionDisplay;
var directionsService;
var stepDisplay;
var markerArray = [];
var position;
var marker = null;
var polyline = null;
var poly2 = null;
var speed = 0.0000005, wait = 1;
var infowindow = null;
var zoomed;
var zoomedd;
var zoomeddd;
var step = 50; // 5; // metres
var myPano;
var panoClient;
var nextPanoId;
var timerHandle = null;
i set step = 50; to the end of calcRoute() function and now animation works fine
