I'm new to javascript and still finding the google maps javascript a bit confusing.
I have the following code (Bottom), it's javascript imbedded in php to create my google map with a bunch of markers. So I want to set the zoom to a level where it will show all my markers. I understand I need this code:
var latlngbounds = new google.maps.LatLngBounds(); for (var i = 0; i < latlng.length; i++) { latlngbounds.extend(latlng[i]); } map.fitBounds(latlngbounds);
To set the boundary, but I can't figure out where I should put this or what changes I need to make to the code I'm using which is below:
$zoom = 10; $markers = ''; $mrtallyman = 1; foreach($locations as $location) { $markers .= 'var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng'.$location[1].'; var marker'.$mrtallyman.' = new google.maps.Marker({ position: myLatlng, map: map, title:"'.$location[0].'", icon: "https://chart.googleapis.com/chart?chst=d_map_pin_letter&chld='.$mrtallyman.'|FF776B|000000", });'; $mrtallyman++; } echo ' <script type="text/javascript"> function initialize() { var userLocation = "'.$area.'"; var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); geocoder.geocode( {"address": userLocation}, function(results, status) { if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) { var latLng = results[0].geometry.location; var mapOptions = { center: latLng, zoom: '.$zoom.', mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP }; map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("searchPageMap"), mapOptions); '.$markers.' } else { alert("Geocode failed. Reason: " + status); } }); } google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, "load", initialize); </script>';
Can anyone help me out here. Confused!
