Google Maps HeatmapLayer clickable endpoints

问题:

When a user reaches a zoom level where the cluster only consist of 1-4 LatLng points I would like to make the object clickable to show source of the data used for the heatmap. Any tips on how to address this issue? Can I connect any type of EventListener to the HeatmapLayer points?

回答1:

There is no click-event for a heatmap( basically there isn't any event a heatmap will listen to).

What you can do: use a markerClusterer.

Create Markers for all points, as markerImage assign a a transparent image(a size of 15x15 should be fine) and apply the desired click-event to the marker.

Push the markers into a markerClusterer and apply the following style to the clusterer:

  {
    url: 'path/to/transparentImage.png',
    height: 0,
    width: 0,
    textColor: 'transparent',
    textSize: 0
  }

Result:

as long as the markers are clustered, you'll not see anything.

When a marker isn't clustered anymore, you'll also not see anything(because the marker is transparent), but you can click on the transparent marker, and the marker will respond to the click.
