I have succeeded in loading a Google map using the gMap jQuery plugin and making it display several markers passed to it in a JSON object using the pattern demonstrated here under "Map with marker and info window". So far, so good. Now I want to have a link on the same page which, when clicked, displays the info window for a marker on t...
To remove a normal marker from a map, I understand you simply call marker.setMap(null), but when implementing the Google Maps directions services, it automatically adds markers A and B onto the map ( calculating directions from point A to point B ). I do not have control over these markers, so I cannot remove them in the normal way. So h...
Hello, I like to create a map with Google Maps that can handle large amounts of markers (over 10.000). To not slow down the map I've created a XML-file that only outputs the markers that are inside the current viewport. First, I use initialize() to setup the map options: function initialize() { var myLatlng = new google.maps.L...

Is it possible to programatically generate markers in Google? For example, I have a database of services and locations that I want to plot on a Google Map using PHP. Using the Maps API v3, I have created a map and plotted the services fine using markers and info windows, but what I really want to do is generate numbers (1,2,3,4... etc.)...
I've been having a lot of trouble with a Google Maps mashup because the API only lets you set a z-order for specific item types (e.g. marker, or overlay). For example, you can set a marker's z-order, but that only affects the z-order relative to other markers. I have a map with polygons and markers, but at certain times, I want to make...

I'm developing a Google Map API v2 app, where markers are loaded from a database. These markers can then be dragged to a new location by a user and saved to the database. I'm adding these markers as draggable, however I don't just want the users to be able to drag them accidentally. So I have added a button to enable the dragging and th...
Hi all, I am trying to get something very simple done since a long time with Google Maps, and just can't get it done. This is so confusing and counter-intuitive unlike many Google products. I am not sure if I should be putting this question on superuser.com , but I am putting it here, as this is far more active. Say, I am in a new town...
