I want to open a new window by clicking on a marker using Google Maps API 3.
Unfortunately there are not many examples for the Google Maps API and I found out this code:
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function() {
window.location.href = marker.url;
});
How to use it, when I create markers with a loop? I tried it in many ways with no afford.
This is my code – I made it simple and short:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<style type="text/css">
html { height: 100% }
body { height: 100%; margin: 0; padding: 0 }
#map_canvas { height: 100% }
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var points = [
['name1', 59.9362384705039, 30.19232525792222, 12],
['name2', 59.941412822085645, 30.263564729357767, 11],
['name3', 59.939177197629455, 30.273554411974955, 10]
];
function setMarkers(map, locations) {
var shape = {
coord: [1, 1, 1, 20, 18, 20, 18 , 1],
type: 'poly'
};
for (var i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {
var flag = new google.maps.MarkerImage('markers/' + (i + 1) + '.png',
new google.maps.Size(17, 19),
new google.maps.Point(0,0),
new google.maps.Point(0, 19));
var place = locations[i];
var myLatLng = new google.maps.LatLng(place[1], place[2]);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: myLatLng,
map: map,
icon: flag,
shape: shape,
title: place[0],
zIndex: place[3]
});
}
}
function initialize() {
var myOptions = {
center: new google.maps.LatLng(59.91823239768787, 30.243222856188822),
zoom: 12,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"),myOptions);
setMarkers(map, points);
}
</script>

<body onload="initialize()">
<div id="map_canvas" style="width:50%; height:50%"></div>
</body>

How to open url by clicking on marker with code above?
You can add a specific url to each point, e.g.:
Add the url to the marker values in the for-loop:
Then you can add just before to the end of your for-loop:
Also see this example.
the previous answers didn't work out for me well. I had persisting problems by setting the marker. So i changed the code slightly.
This way worked out for me! You can create Google Maps routing links from your Datebase to to use it as an interactive routing map.
url
isn't an object on the Marker class. But there's nothing stopping you adding that as a property to that class. I'm guessing whatever example you were looking at did that too. Do you want a different URL for each marker? What happens when you do:
