Since v3 require api key what's wrong with it? I checked in google chrome and firefox but no clue.
Looks like you are missing a closing html tag, unless that is a typo.
Add this </html> at the bottom of the page.
You need to provide a center location to create your map. In your initialize() function change the map options to include the location you want to start with:
var myCenter = new google.maps.LatLng(60.0,105.0);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 6,
center: myCenter,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
When (or if) you get a location from the geolocation service the center will be changed by your code.
Old question, will answer anyhow in case anyone else lands here.
I ended up using a slightly different implementation to get this to work:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var mapOptions = {zoom: 8, center: new google.maps.LatLng(-34.397, 150.644)};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'),
mapOptions);
}
function loadScript() {
var script = document.createElement('script');
script.type = 'text/javascript';
script.src = 'https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp'+
'&key={{API_KEY}}&sensor=false&callback=initialize';
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
window.onload = loadScript();
</script>
The part that I had to add to get it to work from other (nearly identical) versions of this, was the () at the end of loadScript(). The implicit function call simply was not happening.
You will need to replace {{API_KEY}} with your own. I am not sure if this is required, but it was part of what led me to a working implementation.
If you do not have one, follow the steps listed here

I am using google places autocomplete api and now I want to get the geocode of that address and display that area on map.This is my code...
<head>
<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&sensor=false&libraries=places"></script>
<script>
// This example adds a search box to a map, using the Google Place Autocomplete
// feature. People can enter geographical searches. The search box will return a
// pick list containing a mix of places and predicted search terms.
function initialize() {
var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', initialize);
</script>
</head>
<body>
<input id="searchTextField" type="text" size="50">
</body>
I know there is google geocde api but I really dont know how to do that.
I m doing all this in wordpress. Anybody has idea about this???
Looks like that's what you need:
<style>
#map-canvas {
width: 500px;
height: 500px;
}
</style>
Then, the JS
function initialize() {
// initial zoom and position
var myOptions = {
zoom: 14,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(-25.3, 133.8)
};
// create Map instance
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), myOptions);
// get input reference
var input = document.getElementById('searchTextField');
// create instance of autocomplete
var autocomplete = new google.maps.places.Autocomplete(input);
// listen for changes
google.maps.event.addListener(autocomplete, 'place_changed', function() {
// get the selected place
var place = this.getPlace();
// if there's a geometry available
if (place.geometry) {
// move the map to the position
map.panTo(place.geometry.location);
// update the zoom
map.setZoom(15);
// log the position
console.log(place.geometry.location.lat(),place.geometry.location.lng() )
}
})
}

I am using Google maps API v3, and this is my HTML file (mylocation.html) :

When I open it on the Google Chrome, it works fine, and shows me my location.
In my project, I using WebVew to show this HTML file on Android. But when I run it, in LogCat, I get the following error:
"Uncaught TypeError: Cannot call method 'lat' of null at file:///mnt/sdcard/myloction.html:12"
(I have saved mylocation.html in the SDCard).
I'm not sure how to fix this? Could someone guide me with this?
To access Geolocation in the WebView, you need to do a bit of setup first.
You first must enable the feature in WebSettings: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebSettings.html#setGeolocationEnabled(boolean)
And you must also implement the WebChromeClient.onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebChromeClient.html#onGeolocationPermissionsShowPrompt(java.lang.String, android.webkit.GeolocationPermissions.Callback)
And please also ensure that your application has the appropriate Android permissions to access location.
I previously prepare a javascript that shows some marker downloaded in JSON format, from a webservice.
The code is:
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>MAP</title>
<link type="text/css" href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" media="all" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&v=3.8"></script>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="map_bar.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<h1>MAPPA</h1>
<div id="map"></div>
</body>
</html>
that calls the map_bar.js:
(function() {
window.onload = function() {
// Creating a new map
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(80.650535,41.886146),
zoom: 12,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});
// Creating a global infoWindow object that will be reused by all markers
function createPoints(json){
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
// Looping through the JSON data
for (var i = 0, length = json.locations.length; i < length; i++) {
var data = json.locations[i],
latLng = new google.maps.LatLng(data.lat, data.long);
console.log(data.long);
var iconBase = 'https://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/';
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: latLng,
map: map,
title: data.nombre,
icon: 'beer.png'
});
(function(marker, data) {
// Attaching a click event to the current marker
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
info = data.nombre+'<br/>'+data.offerta+'<br/>'+data.horario;
infoWindow.setContent(info); //esto escibe las info
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});
})
(marker, data);
}
}
// Get the JSON data from PHP script
var json ;
$.getJSON("http://mywebservice.php").done(function(data) {
console.log(data);
json = data;
createPoints(json);
});
}
})();
It works, but the problem appears when I trying to integrate that in an existing webpage.
I have some sections and putting the same code in my "map section", the map appears but not markers.
The console.log(data) into the getJSON method not give back the point. It strange because the same code works in a "stand alone" page.
Any idea about that?
Thanks in advance.
jquery getJSON is subject to the same origin policy, a sub-domain is not the same domain as the main domain.
Using a relative reference to a file in the sub-domain fixes the issue.
I would use MarkerManager to group neighboring marker in one, I tested an example but it does not work. Different markers are displayed well, but they are not together when they should. The manager is not working as it should, I do not understand why.

Can someone help me?
thank you very much
Your page works for me, but the markers are not immediately visible when the page loads. This is because of the zoom setting you have on line 34:
mgr.addMarkers(markers, 8);
if you set that to a lower number (say, 4) the markers will be visible when zoomed further out.
I am able to run the google maps api to get the geo locations only on the firefox browser. It does not find the geo location on safari and Google crome. It fails stating geolocation service failed. Can some one tell me how I could make this geollocation example run on safari and google crome. I have got this example from google maps api V3

without knowing the versions, perhaps informing the browser to interpret the markup as html5 with
