Bounce a pin in google maps once

Question

I want to bounce a pin on a google map once. The following code will make the marker bounce but it just keeps going...

myPin.setAnimation(google.maps.Animati         


        

Answer 1

This is a tough one with no perfect answer yet because, while 750ms works fine for a desktop browser, it does look stunted on a mobile device. Google has not really added much to the animation API, so there's no solutions via API.

The best I've been able to accomplish is to set the timeout value to 900ms, it looks the same on Desktop because it exploits the 150ish ms that the icon pauses between each bounce, and gives a laggy mobile device some extra breathing space for animation time.

Edit: My solution stopped working for me suddenly. Oops. If you're doing this on mobile, might just be best to not bother with the bounce at all.
