[Google Maps API v3] Prevent map panning when using google.maps.DirectionsService

[Justin]

Hi,

Im currently using the google.maps.DirectionsService and whenever I
create a new route request, the map will pan to the location of the
route. How do I prevent this from occuring?

Regards

Justin

[Google Maps API v3] Google places autocomplete does not always fire place_changed on location selection

[Andre Wilson]

  
  
I currently am trying to integrate the google places auto complete facility 
into my website so that I can use it to easily retrieve location information 
such as latitude and longtitude of an address.

However I have noticed that although the auto complete will give drop down 
options to select from when I enter in an address it does not always fire 
the *place_changed* event when I select that address from the shown list. 
This problem appears to only be evident primarily when I have not specified 
a type i.e. establishment or geocode. When I specify the geocode option the 
address appears to be found appropiately.

To double check it wasn't something I was doing I am able to replicate the 
issue on the demo example at:

Google places 
example

The address I can trigger this repeatably on is when I type in *Auckland 
airport* and select the *Auckland Airport, Auckland, New Zealand* option 
from the returned results. When I do this nothing happens. However when I 
select geocodes only selecting this option appears to work.

I would like to have both establishments and geocodes searching abilities if 
possible.

Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

[Google Maps API v3] on change function not working

[steve]

The original page:
http://webknows.net/schoolboundary.asp

I loaded a fusion table layer then want to select a school district
and then update the map with school district's boundary. However, it
seems not working. Can you share anything I have done wrong? The
function to update the map is as below.

Thanks.

Steve

function updateMap() {
var e = document.getElementById("schoolID");
var schoolID = e.options[e.selectedIndex].value;
layer.setQuery("select geometry from 1813014 where name=" &
schoolID);
 }

[Google Maps API v3] Re: How to remove certain places on a map

[BruceB]

You can't specifically show one particular store or set of stores in the 
styling interface.
You would have to hide all POIs, and then use the Places API to search for 
and show your store(s) using the Marker overlay.

This example uses function closure:

[Google Maps API v3] Google Map V3 Click Event for multiple objects (marker, polygon...)

[7heroes]

Hi all,

I have an array of object (polygons), and each object has its own click 
event. I am successfully attached click event to each object which will 
trigger the same OnPolygonClick(e), however I don't know how to determine 
which polygon is clicked, something like if you click on a polygon which has 
property name = "Area 1", the infowindow will show "Area 1" as well as its 
other info and so on...is there a way to attach a custom object to a polygon 
which is sent from ASP.NET and when user click on it, the object info will 
be displayed?

Thanks,

Sam.

The extension he uses for doing this in v2 is referenced in that
example.

You could port it to v3, doesn't look like it would be too hard.  But
if all you really want is the hex grid, you can easily make hexagons
with the v3 Polygon class.  If you read Mike Williams' code in that
example and just do the same things with the v3 equivalents.

You might be able to use the geometry library to save yourself some
work.

Although thinking about it, it would probably be more efficient to
make a KmlLayer or FusionTablesLayer that contains your hex grid, then
the API will render it as tiles and there will be less overhead on
your map.  Does the hex grid need to be clickable or need to handle
mouseover/out events?

[Google Maps API v3] Hex Grid construction

[Benjamin Mottram]

Hi everybody,

I need to construct a hex grid in a similar manner to those found on
traditional table top war games .

(e.g. this is an excellent example
http://www.crypticcomet.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/05/HexMapTopo.jpg).

I found a partial solution to this problem but  it is only using the
version 2 API, this is the example in the link.

http://econym.org.uk/gmap/example_eshapes.htm

It is the only example that i can find and this uses depreciated
code.  So i was hoping out there somewhere someone would have an
example of how to construct something similar?  Or has any other tips
or suggestions on how such a thing could be created.

So thanks all in advance.

Ben

[Google Maps API v3] Places search bounds size

[gpa]

I'm trying to use the Places service to look for a place that may or
may not be local.

I was doing a search with some very generous bounds (worldwide, see
here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12543232/PlaceSearch1.html). It used to
work up until a couple of days ago and now it's only returning zero
results.

I tried changing the bounds to be mostly California but still got no
results (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12543232/PlaceSearch2.html).

Only when I change it to be most of Palo Alto that I get a result:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12543232/PlaceSearch3.html

I also tried setting a center and a very large radius but the results
were the same.

So, my questions are:

1) Are there limits to these bounds?
2) Why did this work up until a couple days ago?
3) How can this be accomplished? In Google maps no matter where I am,
if I search for "The Old Pro" it immediately finds what I want.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,
Gustavo

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Reducing number of points in Directions Service Polyline?

[Berry Ratliff]

> Or if anybody has a better/more elegant solution please let me know!

I believe it is legal.  Ben, please correct me if I am wrong.

Your printer driver may not be able to superimpose two identically
positioned DIVs (one IMG / one CANVAS) but it ought to be able to
print a single composite CANVAS element.  You could use the
"drawImage" method to transfer your static map image to a CANVAS
element.  You could use the "moveTo" & "lineTo" methods to draw your
polys on the same CANVAS element.  You will have to apply Mercator
projection conversions from Lat/Lon coordinates to X/Y pixel
positions.

The file:

http://home.provide.net/~bratliff/adjust.js

contains conversion functions.

I see 6 things on that image, do you want all of them to appear?

That image is 390px × 260px;
each of the 6 "icons" appears to be 130px x 130px.

> I have that image. When I give the size I get a portion of the image.

If you want the whole image to be seen and be scaled down you need to
use the size and scaled size in the MarkerImage constuctor properly:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MarkerImage

MarkerImage(url:string, size?:Size, origin?:Point, anchor?:Point,
scaledSize?:Size)   A structure representing a Marker icon or shadow
image.

size should be the size of the image: 390,260
scaled size should be the "compressed size" the size you want it to
appear on your map:
scaledSize  SizeThe size of the entire image after scaling, if any.
Use this property to stretch/shrink an image or a sprite.

sizeSizeThe display size of the sprite or image. When using
sprites, you must specify the sprite size. If the size is not
provided, it will be set when the image loads.

Since this _might_ be a sprite (i.e. you only want to show one of the
six icons), you might need to play with the origin as well.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: How to compress the icon file for maker

[ammu]

Lets say 
http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/deleket/halloween-avatars/icons-390.jpg
I have that image. When I give the size I get a portion of the image.
I want that whole image to be compressed and seen in the maps

Am I clear in what I want to convey? Sorry if its kinda confusing.

If I give new google.maps.Size(20, 32), as the size the left hand
corner white portion is only getting displayed.

Sure.  If it is your custom icon, make the icon be what you want it to
be.  There are image editing programs available that will allow you to
resize images, crop images, etc.  If you mean there is a white
background that you want to make transparent, you need to do that with
an image editing program as well.

[Google Maps API v3] POI Info Windows for Maps with Custom Styles

[Justin]

Is there any way to turn off info windows but leave POIs on the map
with custom styling?  Having the POIs on the map makes it so much
better, but in many apps - especially mobile - having an info window
popup whenever you accidentally tap a place is a huge problem.

Hi Evan,

The directions service result contains a field "overview_path":

This is pre-simplified to fit in a static map URL.

Thanks Rossko. I did try this but what happens is if an image has

have but in a smaller size.

Can you please let me know if that can be done?

[Google Maps API v3] Reducing number of points in Directions Service Polyline?

[Evan Rolfe]

Hi all, is there any way I can reduce the number of points in a
polyline obtained from the Directions Service api?

I'm coding an application that should draw a route from the user's
address to another address and create a printer friendly version of
the map with the route. In order to get a printer friendly version I'm
creating a static map with the polyline obtained from the route from
directions service.

The only problem I'm having now is that most routes seem to have
encoded (yes i'm encoding the polyline points to shorten the url)
strings which are longer than 2048 characters so cannot be passed to
google static maps api via a url, this is why i'm trying to reduce the
number of points in the directions route and hence reduce the
accuracy.

Or if anybody has a better/more elegant solution please let me know!
Thanks!

Good choice.  JSON is much faster.  It is ready for interpretation
directly by the browser without extra code to parse it.  It is much
smaller without the verbosity of beginning tags & ending tags for
every element.  It avoids cross domain limitations.

[Google Maps API v3] Re: How to remove certain places on a map

[BruceB]

You can remove points of interest (POIs) from your map using the styling 
features: 
 
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/styling.html#styling_the_default_map
and
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/styling.html#map_features

Just set the visible property to off for the categories you want hidden:
[ { featureType: "poi.government", stylers: [ { visibility: "off" } ] } ]

The styling wizard is useful for figuring out the style 
syntax:

Not weird. The more nodes you have, the greater the opportunity to
introduce an error.

XML is the one instance where you *should* code for IE. IE's XML
parsing is far more strict and standards-compliant than other
browsers'.

If you don't like XML, you could just write out JSON directly. You
don't *have* to use a function to do it (just as there is an example
for writing XML directly). There may be examples out there which will
help with markers; I don't know of any. Searching might find something
useful: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=example+json_encode+php

[Google Maps API v3] Re: CSS font and line-height?

[Joseph Elfelt]

Simplify.

Try changing this short form css into the long form:
font:  1.2em/1.5em Arial,Verdana,sans-serif;

Obviously in the long form you can only have one em value.

See: http://www.zytrax.com/tech/css/shortcut.html

If that doesn't fix things you could always try inline styles in your
infowindow content div

[Google Maps API v3] Marker titles don't show sometimes

[JakobA]

Hi.

I have added a lot of markers to a map, and everything is fine except that 
the titles of them sometimes don't show in Firefox. This seems to happen 
very randomly, and most of the time I just need to hover on another marker 
or pan the map for it to work again. Is there anything I can do about this? 
It seems to work fine in Chrome and Safari.

Regards,
Jakob

[Google Maps API v3] Re: CSS font and line-height?

[THE_AI]

Hey Joseph,
Please look at the original example:
http://jsfiddle.net/compojoom/4NUnM/

and then have a look at this one:
http://jsfiddle.net/compojoom/4NUnM/4/

The only difference is the css. In the first one I use % and em, in the 
second one I use px. In the second one the Infowindow had the proper height. 
This makes me think that the infowindow makes false calculations when we use 
% values. 

As we know CSS values are inherited from the parent nodes. I'm searching for 
a way to stop this inheritance and supply px values to the map...

Daniel

[Google Maps API v3] Re: Won't find the town "Orange" in France?

[sgiddings]

Nice tip Pil.

However, this is not really an acceptable situation.
Taking into account that work has been undertaken by Google to improve
coverage in Europe, notably in France, this should not occur.
Our users will not have the reflex to do this kind of manipulation -
which will give a bad image to our sites, even if it is out of our
control.

The user will not make the difference between our sites and Google,
they only see our site.

Do we need to open a bug report ?
Do we need to send a problem report to Thor Mitchell ?
