Hi
I'm really sorry if this has been answered - I can't find a clear answer,
and am struggling to figure it out from the documentation...
I have a map with known dimensions, and one side of the map will be
obscured by a DIV which will have a variable width, leaving a visible
portion of the
Just use the fromDivPixelToLatLng() function :)
(passing in the pixel coordinates you have calculated as per the image)
I know I strugged, to find a good example, of its use, from one of my
sites...
var overlay = null;
function update_map() {
if (overlay == null) {
If the variable-width div is always going to be visible, why not adjust the
width of your map to be the 200px - Zpx?

Thanks for the reply Jeremy. I don't want to resize the map when
the variable-width DIV is resized, because (as far as I know) to resize a
map's canvas means completely reloading it (i.e., instantiating a new

Thanks for the reply Barry. I'm not quite sure I completely understand - do
you mean something like this (which doesn't appear to work)?:
overlay = new google.maps.OverlayView();
overlay.draw = function() {};
overlay.setMap(map);
var x = (200 - divwidth) / 2;
var y = 50;
var latLng =
I think its time for a link.
We dont know what context you are calling that. Is the Map definitly
existing when that code is called?
All be weary of calling that many times in a row. If you create the
overlay each time, you going to end up with lots of invisible overlays
added to the map -
This is work-in-progress, but...

The DIV on the right is resizeable, exposing more or less of the map
underneath as you resize it. As you resize it, the map is panned left or
right by the same amount, so that the center of the visible area
Here is a simplified example of the question:

The map is 600px wide, 300px high. An overlay is created as suggested
above. A click event is added. On click, it adds a marker at the LatLng at
300px,150px (i.e., what I expect to be the center of
