Google Maps API V3: How to jump to a specific marker from outside the map?
- by Tom
I have a map with two markers on it.
The initial view of the map only shows one marker, and I want to provide a link next to the map that will move the map to the 2nd marker when clicked.
Here's a demo of what I want, using v2 of the API: http://arts.brighton.ac.uk/contact-university-of-brighton-faculty-of-arts (note the links below the map)
Here's what I have so far:
<script type="text/javascript">
function initialize() {
var latlng = new google.maps.LatLng(50.823817, -0.135634);
var myOptions = {
zoom: 13,
center: latlng,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP,
mapTypeControlOptions: {
style: google.maps.MapTypeControlStyle.DROPDOWN_MENU
} ,
scaleControl: false
};
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map"), myOptions);
// 1st marker
var marker1 = new google.maps.Marker({ position: new google.maps.LatLng(50.823817, -0.135634), map: map, title: 'my title' });
var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({ content: 'my window content' });
google.maps.event.addListener(marker1, 'click', function() { infowindow.open(map, marker1); });
// 2nd marker
var marker2 = new google.maps.Marker({ position: new google.maps.LatLng(51.5262405, -0.074549), map: map, title: 'my 2nd title'});
var infowindow2 = new google.maps.InfoWindow({ content: 'content for my 2nd window' });
google.maps.event.addListener(marker2, 'click', function() { infowindow2.open(map, marker2); });
}
</script>
So what I'd like to add is a link to marker2, to move the map some 50-odd miles up,
e.g. <a href="#marker2">Second location</a>.
How would I do this?
