I've seen several websites using a custom image as a map with google maps controls.I'm familiar with how to use the google maps api in general, but I don't know how to use a custom map image that isn't based on the real world, in other words it will be an image of a map from a video game, so general latitude and longitude wont apply.

how can I get my custom markers to show? I have got my code in place, everything works except, doesn't show my custom marker?!
here is my code:

I would like to show a custom icon for my google maps .I have created a .PNG image and uploaded it but doesn't seem to be showing?

MY GOAL - I have a database with a bunch of items and each has latitude, longitude and a category (all the items are within 1 city). I want to have a page that will show a google map, display a marker based on the lat/lng and the image of the marker should be customized based on the category of the row. For example, some rows have a 'food' category and some have a 'health' category - I have specific images I want displayed for each image. I need a script that will plot a marker for each item in my db. I have never used Google maps API before and I'm thinking V3 is what I need to use.
$query=mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table");
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($query)){
$lat=$row['lat'];
$lng=$row['lng'];
$category=$row['category'];
//SET MARKER PICTURE TO $category
//ADD MARKER TO MAP
}
I don't know javascript that well and I have tried about 40 different things and get nothing but a blank page!
Enter a search term and:1) Google Blog Results show up2) Twitter Search Results show up3) Google Maps with custom xml data shows upI have accomplished the first 2 parts - http://www.justincener.com/xmlI now want to add in Google Maps. The idea is to type in a athlete's name and have results come back from Google Blog Search (done), Twitter (done), and Google Maps. I only need to show 2-3 choices, so I want to create a custom Google Maps XML doc that corresponds to a few search terms. For example, when someone types in "Tom Brady", I want a Google Map to also come up along with the Google Blog and Twitter Results.
On the map, I want to plot 4 points showing his 4 next games. I think I know how to create the custom XML for GMaps, but I don't know how to implement it so that when someone enters input, the GMaps will show up. Can anyone get me started in the right direction please?Here is the JS so far that handles Google Blog Results and Twitter Results:
var errorCount=0;
var twitter_link;
function searchGoogle(query)

[URL] If you go to this site in Chrome (or Safari) I get a Uncaught Error: INDEX_SIZE_ERR: DOM Exception 1 javascript error and my markers do not show up. In all other non-webket browsers I do not see this problem.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a few questions:
1. In the current script, the markers are set to be random within a radius. What would be an easy way to switch from that to using individual markers that I set from latitudes and longitudes? I'm going to be using around 5 way points surrounding an area and can either hard code or throw in some PHP code.
2. In addition to setting my markers, the navigation is done through generated links like "Point 1", "Point 2", and so forth. How would I insert code to replace .html("Point "+i) with something else? I'm guessing to have a main city, have a few towns around it, and the "Point" links are replaced with text I want to use. Probably hard code or use PHP/MySQL to show a zip code or town related to that marker.Here is a sample of the JavaScript code. I only threw in PHP echo tags for the start lat/long and I have that set:
Code:
$(document).ready(function(){
var map = new GMap2($("#map").get(0));
var StartArea = new GLatLng(<?=$latitude?>,<?=$longitude?>);[code].........
I want to create a interactive map viewer likeGooglemaps using my own custom map image. On clicking a location on the map, a small popup displayed showing some data. I aslo want a zooming and panning functionality. note that i am using aLinuxserver. The application must not use flash.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure where I have translated this incorrectly. I have one google map embedded on my page which works fine. But I wanted to add a second one. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to have a second page which is called later on with all the details on it for the second map. However although I think (this I presume is where I went wrong) I have replicated the instructions correctly the place holder for the second map just remains blank.
This is the code for my called page with the instructions for the second map:
And this is the script of the main page, just in case I would be better off keeping them both in one place.

I've cut out the script that doesn't relate to this so I hope I haven't missed anything important.
I'm working on a project which implements google Maps. Now I have to choose between GWT or JavaScript as a programming platform. I'm wondering which is faster when accessing the data to be used to initialise the maps from a remote server?
View 1 Replies View RelatedBeen looking at google maps, but i am not sure if this is possible, what do you think?
1) Fill database with places (refering to lat + long values) + put markers on google map.
2) Users can then browse the map, click on a marker to select the location which referes to a place in a database.
I know I can add markers to a map. Not sure if it is possible for a user to click one, which then fills a box in a form though.
I am working on creating a map using the google maps API. I would like to update the markers and info windows using an XML database. I know how to parse the XML using PHP if I was just going to create a table on the page, but for the life of me I can't find a complete and simple description of how to do it with javascript. I've been reading tutorials and W3 schools reference for over a week trying to figure it out. I'm new to javascipt, so some of the stuff I don't really understand. I did find a similar question posted on this forum, although I can't get it working. Here is my code (note: this code doesn't work, I know that I'm missing some way to load the xml and parse it, but I don't see how its done):

We got a google maps with a bunch of pins. Each pin is setup to use our blue custom icon image. I'm trying to make it so that when you click on a pin, that particular pin changes to a green version of the icon, and all the reset stay blue. If the user clicks another pin, it turns green and the previous goes back to blue.Basicly only the clicked active pin should be green.
google.maps.event.addListener(markers[indx], 'click', function() {
this.setIcon("/images/greenmarker.png");
});
Here is my code so far that will change the clicked pin into a green version.My problem is all attempts to change all pins back to blue prior to changing this clicked pin to green fails bad.
I am messing around with Google Maps a little and the fundamental difficulty in building anything useful is extrapolating address information from another website. I would like to be able to use a form like yahoo yellow pages send it a zip code and get back a bunch of, say, banks in that zip code and parse the address out. Some things, very few, actually return data in the XML format, but how do you write a script that send a request to a website and then returns that request as a DOM object. I'll even take HTML and then I'll parse it out myself, but how do you do that.
I know it sounds fundamental, but I'm a real beginner in this, so if you can push me in the right direction I would appreciate it too.
I think maybe this is the right thread for it since i found out Google map control can be created using AJAX.
So the question is simple, How to create Google Maps Control ? preferably in an ASP.Net environment.

Does anyone have any idea as to how google loads pieces of images

I am going to include a google maps to my web with markers, the map works perfect, the problem is that I dont want people to be able to do max zoom for security reason, so I need to put an limit zoom in it, and I cant find out how to on internet, I dont know javascript to do it for myself.
This is the script I use:
I have a boss who wants to show 5000 points on a Google map. So far, only a fraction of this being displayed freezes the browser. I've been challenged to make this possible while still in the realm of the browser. Would the flash version of Google maps api be a better bet? Does flash provide a better framework for this kind of heavy usage?

in my code below, I need to change the linemap.setCenter(new GLatLng(i[0], i[1]), 13); to have the LAT and LONG from my database therefore, I think maybe I need to open a database connection (which I think i am on the same page) and put some ASP in my JavaScript?!

I am able to move my logo on my map, is there any way of locking it's position?
In this snippet the addresses stored in address[] is geocoded using google maps API. The problem comes when i try to pass these values on to the array flightPlanCoordinates to create a polyline. Nothing happens.
Can anyone tell me why? PS. Im quite new to JS
var flightPlanCoordinates = [];
for ( var i=0, len=address.length; i<len; ++i ){
geocoder.geocode( { 'address': address[i]}, function(results, status) {

[Code]...
What I'm trying to do is import a list of addresses from an xml file and display them in a google map. When each marker is clicked, a window will appear with the address and a name given from the xml. So far, I've gotten the code to work, with one issue.. There has to be an alert box in the for loop (see code) before I use the geocoder. With the alert box, everything shows up as it should, except that I don't need an alert box popping up everytime a marker is added. Doesn't matter what information is in the alert box, as long as it is there, it works.
But, if I take the alert box out, then all the markers will display the same name and address in its info window. The name/address displayed is the last one in my xml file. I thought it just needed the pause so I had tried: setTimeout("alert('');",1000); but that didn't work, even with the alert box within the pause..
