The right click event for the Map returns a MouseEvent which includes the LatLng. I am using it in that instance.
However, the method also handles the right click for a Marker which returns an Event not a MouseEvent. Event does not include a LatLng so I have to make the calculation then. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html <http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://code.google.com/apis/maps/docum entation/javascript/reference.html&usg=AFQjCNF1n5qmEFXobmhPhcvwPA1byDVKN g> #Marker I left this out of my code sniplet. This is my modification to GeoXml3 that adds the rightclick event to the marker. if (parserOptions.rightClickFunction != null) { google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'rightclick', parserOptions.rightClickFunction); } From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nathan Raley Sent: Thursday, December 16, 2010 5:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Google Maps API v3] How to get latitude and longitude from marker right click event Also, why are you calculating the pixel coordinates and translating to lat/lng when the click event itself provides you with lat/lng of the point clicked or the marker clicked?

And an even bigger question, how do you make it work for all browsers? My scenario: When a marker is right clicked, display a context menu at the marker and save the latLon coordinates for later use. When "Zoom in" to marker is selected on the context menu, center the map on the saved coordinates and zoom in. My problem: The coordinates I am saving are wrong for all browsers except IE. I am able to calculate the right pixel location for displaying the context menu. That works in IE, Firefox, Chrome & Safari. But the lat lon coords I am calculating from that pixel position are wrong for all browsers except IE.
