Playing with the map controls

    "All work and no play, makes Jack a dull boy!". I also decided to play around with the Google Map APIs, so that we don't become dull! The following is a simple code which will show you how to control the map controls or basically the Google Map UI. So here goes the fun code...



    I don't think the above code needs much of an explanation. I will tell you what happens as a result of this code! When you move your mouse over the map, the map controls will become visible, as seen in the result above!

    When you will move your mouse out of the map, the Map Controls will disappear. The controls will reappear again once you move your mouse over the map and disappear again when you move your mouse out of the map! Keep going on, have fun...

    Hope you enjoy the code. Feel free to drop your comments, doubts, queries, suggestions!

  1. It's nearly very good.
    One glitch I get is that when you mouseover the controls you are leaving the map so there is an annoying flicker of the controls.
    Is there a listener for the controls I could add to prevent this flickering?

  2. Yes Norrin. Even I had noticed the same! You can remove that flicker by declaring the map controls as separate div elements. This will solve the flickering issue.

Playing with the markers and info window bubbles...

    In the last few posts, we have seen some marker examples and some information window examples. Now, lets do something interesting combining these two things. Just writing that "This is an info window" in the information bubble is not very interesting! And I know this...Have gone through the same phase!     So, today we will do something interesting! We will display the latitude- longitude co-ordinates of the point that the user clicks on the map! Doing this is not at all complex! Copy paste the following code and you will see for yourself a map coming to life!     The output of the above code looks as seen in the result section above! If you have any queries regarding the above code please comment on the blog post or feel free to contact me at my mail ID .

Form info window

         Today we will look at a Google Maps API v3 example to add a form in the information bubble! This is usually required when we wish to accept some data/information from the user! This data can be saved to a server in the form of an XML file or a database! The information can then be retrieved back at a later stage, when necessary!          In this example we will only look at form in the information bubble! The connectivity part with the server will be discussed in another post! So, today's code snippet is as seen below! <html> <head> <title> Google Maps API v3 - Adding marker and info window on Click and creating a form in the infowindow with the lat-lng information in it. </title> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var map;    //When using ev...
