I'm trying to get all markers within a given radius (google.maps.Circle
) by using google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation
as recommended here, but I get an error: TypeError: e is undefined
.
Snippet:
// ...
if (google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation(randomMarkers[i].marker.getPosition(), searchArea)) {
console.log('=> is in searchArea');
} else {
console.log('=> is NOT in searchArea');
}
// ...

containsLocation
is a method on google.maps.Polygon objects not google.maps.Circle objectsTo determine if a marker is within a circle use google.maps.geometry.spherical.computeDistanceBetween
working fiddle
working code snippet:
Use the native getBounds(); method. Most people believe that this method can be used for rectangles only, but they are wrong. It belongs to the LatLngBounds Constructor and delivers the most painless possibility to check if a marker is inside a (for e.g.) circle (or polylines, rectangulars) or not.

The solution suggested by @Sumuray will create points also outside of the circle, but still in the bounds (square/rectangle) of the circle.
using the method he suggested:
You can clearly see that some of the markers are outside of the circle, but within the bounding box of the circle.
To fix the issue, you could use the geometry library and add a method to check if the point is within the circle's radius
