So I've got a working version 3 googlemap working that loads its data
(markers) from xml using an asynchronous jquery call.
Lets say I have a bunch of markers that are added to the map, but I only
want to show the markers if your zoomed in to a certain point
on the map.
I would normally handle this with a MVC event that would make the nonvisble
markers visible when the mvc events show that the map
has zoomed in to a certain level.
Ive done this when I was first experimenting with the API and I wrote out
each marker by hand and each marker had an individual name.
I was recommended to use asynchronous xml calls to get the data, which I set
up.
I just dont know how to set up a MVC event that can make markers visible
when it gets to a certain zoom level.
Before I would know the names of each marker (when i was exerimenting with
manually adding markers to a map and creating events for them)
and could turn each one visible when the map zoom got to a point that I
wanted
(by creating an event attached to the MVC and manually turning on the
markers when the MVC event occured),
but with the asynch XML method, each one of my markers
is added through a function that adds them to the map as the xml is iterated
through.
in case your confused, heres my function that creates the markers and adds
them to the map
{
//HERE IS THE CODE THAT PARSES THROUGH MY RETURNED XML
//I LEFT OUT THE PARSING CODE DETAILS
var name = $(this).find('name').text();
var address = $(this).find('address').text();
var marker_lat = $(this).find('lat').text();
var marker_long = $(this).find('lng').text();
var marker = createMarker(marker_lat, marker_long, map);
}
function createMarker(lat, lng, map)
{
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lng);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker(
{
position: latlng,
map: map,
title: "Hi"
});
return marker;
}
I dont know their individual names to attach to the MVC event which would
turn them visible when the map was zoomed to a specified level.
Any Ideas on how to tackle this issue?
