I have an issue with adding individual markers in Google maps API. I searched a lot like the following link, Change individual markers in google maps directions api V3 . But I am unable to implement the same on my code. With the help of suppressMarkers: true
I am able to prevent the default markers. Now only root directions are showing. Now how can I add the makers for start point and end point. Following is my code.
function GoogleMap_selected(){
var lattitude_value= document.getElementById('slectedLat').value;
var longitude_value= document.getElementById('slectedLon').value;
var from = new google.maps.LatLng(mylatitude, mylongitude);
var to = new google.maps.LatLng(lattitude_value, longitude_value);
var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
var directionsRequest = {
origin: from,
destination: to,
travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING,
unitSystem: google.maps.UnitSystem.METRIC
};
this.initialize = function(){
var map = showMap_selected();
directionsService.route(
directionsRequest,
function(response, status)
{
if (status == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK)
{
new google.maps.DirectionsRenderer({
map: map,
directions: response,
suppressMarkers: true
});
}
else
{
alert("Unable to retrive route");
}
var leg = response.routes[ 0 ].legs[ 0 ];
makeMarker( leg.start_location, icons.start, "title" );
makeMarker( leg.end_location, icons.end, 'title' );
}
);
}
function makeMarker( position, icon, title ) {
new google.maps.Marker({
position: position,
map: map,
icon: icon,
title: title
});
}
var icons = {
start: new google.maps.MarkerImage(
// URL
'start.png',
// (width,height)
new google.maps.Size( 44, 32 ),
// The origin point (x,y)
new google.maps.Point( 0, 0 ),
// The anchor point (x,y)
new google.maps.Point( 22, 32 )
),
end: new google.maps.MarkerImage(
// URL
'end.png',
// (width,height)
new google.maps.Size( 44, 32 ),
// The origin point (x,y)
new google.maps.Point( 0, 0 ),
// The anchor point (x,y)
new google.maps.Point( 22, 32 )
)
};
var showMap_selected = function(){
var mapOptions = {
zoom: 12,
center: new google.maps.LatLng(lattitude_value, longitude_value),
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("selected_map_canvas"), mapOptions);
return map;
}
}
Can anyone suggest me that how to implement adding of markers at both start and end points with respect to my code.
Changes:
- pass the map variable into the makeMarker function (as DrMolle observed)
- change icon URLs to ones that work on my server
- move the code that adds the markers so it only runs if the route request succeeds
