Given a google maps marker how can I change the title ?
var _marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: aPoint,
map: mmap,
title:"old title"
});
I have tried
_marker.setTitle("new title");
and
_marker.title = "new title";
but the title is still "old title"
In API v3 it would be:
marker.setTitle('new title');
Googling your question suggests this:
The information is not held in the marker.title property. Where it is
held varies from release to release. In v2.129e it's held in
marker.$.title.
Also, the information is only processed when you addOverlay the marker.
So in v2,129e you can write:
marker.$.title = "updated title";
map.removeOverlay(marker);
map.addOverlay(marker);
(original answer by Mike Williams of Blackpool, UK)
For the new version of Google map api you can use setTitle() to chang the title of any existing marker
Example
marker.setTitle("new title");

i create da google map with multiple InfoWindow.
if i update infoWindow content, it's create new one.
so map always have new window
see image:map infoWindow screenshot
code:
update()
update(){
markers[i].infoWindow = contents;
infoWindow.setContent(markers[i].infoWindow);
infoWindow.open( map, markers[i] );
}
I use time and call update function.
allways it gives new infoWindow
please help
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,
Joey

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'm using the Google Maps API v3 to generate some minimaps. I have one custom marker in a small map with controls hidden. This works great. Now, I'd like to add a link so that clicking this marker will open the full Google Maps with this location selected. Seems obvious.
I'm creating a marker like this.
var pin = new google.maps.LatLng(myLat,myLong);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: pin,
map: map,
title:"Hello World"
});
This seems like it should be obvious, what am I missing? Do I need to construct my link and assign it myself?
This should work (not tested):
var pin = new google.maps.LatLng(myLat,myLong);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: pin,
map: map,
title:"Hello World"
});
google.maps.addListener(marker, "click", function() {
window.location = "https://maps.google.com/maps?ll="+pin.toUrlValue;
});
Working example (built on an existing example, not from the above code)
Ended up finding the answer thusly:
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
window.open("https://maps.google.com/maps?ll="+pin.toUrlValue(),'_blank');
});
I've seen some posts that address similar topics, but not close enough for me to apply to my site. I'd like a certain infowindow to open when loading the map on this page: http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mfr/rec.
I'd like to pass a url parameter (am already doing so for zoom, center, etc) that will open a specific infowindow onload without changing the overall functionality of the page (if no url parameter is passed for infowindow).
Thanks for any help. I imagine I'll have to do a fair bit of editing b/c I've got multiple variables displaying on the infowindow (associated with the xml element...I get most of the content for the markers from my xml document) and below the map with the forecast.
I don't think I was totally clear with my question. I'll rephrase:
Sean, Thanks so much. I don't want to create another webpage with just the one infowindow opening, which I think is what you're suggesting. I have customers that want my map zoomed in with only one recreation site (marker) showing, the infowindow open, and the forecast displaying below the page. Here's an example of what I want (url parameters setting the zoom and center values), but I can't get the infowindow of the only marker shown in the map to open. For instance, if I could code something where a URL like this: http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/mfr/rec/index.php?t=roadmap&lat=42.10053453772226&lng=-123.40782557983397&z=12&window=oregoncaves would display the zoomed in map AND open the infowindow. I just don't know how to go about this. Seems like I would have an if statement that checks if the URL parameter "window" equals "oregoncaves", then open that infowindow for that marker. Again, thanks for any help.

Your question mentions url parameters for zoom and center, but I've checked the page at your link and it is using the standard JavaScript v3 API for those, not url parameters.
That seems a little confusing, so I may be missing something, but if you want to create an InfoWindowdev-guide that opens immediately, simply create the object the InfoWindowapi-doc will be associated with (usually a google.maps.Markerapi-doc) and then create the InfoWindow right after the map is created (code largely taken from the Developer's Guide, with minor mods):
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(-25.363882,131.044922);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 4,
center: myLatlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);
var contentString = '<div id="content">'+
'<div id="siteNotice">'+
'</div>'+
'<h2 id="firstHeading" class="firstHeading">Uluru</h2>'+
'<div id="bodyContent">'+
'<p><b>Uluru</b>, also referred to as <b>Ayers Rock</b>, is a large ' +

I wonder whether someone may be able to help me please.
I've put some coding together (please see below) whereby a user goes onto a HTML form, they type in an address and click a 'Search' button. Upon doing this, the location is plotted on the Google map and the Lat and Long co-oridnates are automatically entered into the associated text boxes on my form.
What I would like to do, if at all possible, is for the marker to be draggable so the user can fine tune the location, and as they drag the marker, I'd like for the Lat and Long fields to change their
associated co-ordinates.
In addition, I'd also like, if at all possible, to have a field on the form called 'NearestAddress' to show the nearest address to where the marker has been dragged to.
I've managed to make the markers draggable but they don't update the Latitude and Longitude text boxes. I'm also unsure how to add the functionality to show the updated address to where the marker has been dragged to.
(function() {
// Defining some global variables
var map, geocoder, myMarker, infowindow;
window.onload = function() {
// Creating a new map
var options = {
zoom: 3,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(55.378051,-3.435973),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), options);
// Getting a reference to the HTML form
var form = document.getElementById('LocationSearchForm');
// Catching the forms submit event
form.onsubmit = function() {
// Getting the address from the text input
var address = document.getElementById('Address').value;
// Making the Geocoder call
getCoordinates(address);
// Preventing the form from doing a page submit
return false;
}
}
// Create a function the will return the coordinates for the address
function getCoordinates(address) {
// Check to see if we already have a geocoded object. If not we create one
if(!geocoder) {
geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
}
// Creating a GeocoderRequest object
var geocoderRequest = {
address: address
}
// Making the Geocode request
geocoder.geocode(geocoderRequest, function(results, status) {
// Check if status is OK before proceeding
if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
// Center the map on the returned location
map.setCenter(results[0].geometry.location);
// Creating a new marker and adding it to the map
var myMarker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: results[0].geometry.location,
draggable:true
});
document.getElementById('Latitude').value= results[0].geometry.location.lat();
document.getElementById('Longitude').value= results[0].geometry.location.lng();
google.maps.event.addListener(myMarker, 'dragend', function(evt){
document.getElementById('current').innerHTML = '<p>Marker dropped: Current Lat: ' + evt.latLng.lat().toFixed(3) + ' Current Lng: ' + evt.latLng.lng().toFixed(3) + '</p>';
});
google.maps.event.addListener(myMarker, 'dragstart', function(evt){
document.getElementById('current').innerHTML = '<p>Currently dragging marker...</p>';
});
map.setCenter(myMarker.position);
myMarker.setMap(map);
}
});
}
})();
I am new to Google maps development and I'm not even sure whether it's possible to achieve what I want. I've been working on this now for a few weeks and it's driving me a little crazy, so if someone could perhaps point me in the right direction it would gratefully be received.
Many thanks and kind regards
Chris
Instead of evt.latLng.lat().toFixed(3) you should just use the myMarker object and grab it's position.
Getting the nearest address is not that easy, but requires reverse geocoding, and to be honest I don't see the point in doing it. You would have to make special cases for the occurences where there couldn't be found a closest address and stuff like that.
If you really want to do it though there is a webservice you can call to do it.
