Adding Array of Markers in Google Map

google-maps-api-3, javascript

Solution

This is my simple code and it works fine. When you click on marker, it will open the Info Window respectively based on that marker's location.

<script>
var locations = [
     ['Title A', 3.180967,101.715546, 1],
     ['Title B', 3.200848,101.616669, 2],
     ['Title C', 3.147372,101.597443, 3],
     ['Title D', 3.19125,101.710052, 4]
];
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
     zoom: 12,
     center: new google.maps.LatLng(3.171368,101.653404),
     mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
});

var infowindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow;

var marker, i;

for (i = 0; i < locations.length; i++) {  
    marker = new google.maps.Marker({
         position: new google.maps.LatLng(locations[i][1], locations[i][2]),
         map: map
    });

    google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', (function(marker, i) {
         return function() {
             infowindow.setContent(locations[i][0]);
             infowindow.open(map, marker);
         }
    })(marker, i));
}
</script>

<div data-role="page" id="map_result">
    <div data-role="header" data-position="fixed"><h1>Multiple Marker</h1></div>
    <div data-role="content" style="padding:0;">
        <div id="map"></div>
    </div>
</div>

Problem

I need some help in creating an array of markers in Google Map so that it can be more efficient, instead of create a marker one by one. I tried the following but it doesn't work. Anyone have advice? ``` //create array to store a set of location var collection = new Array(); //a set of locations stored in array collection[0] = new google.maps.LatLng(13.742167701649997, 100.50721049308777); collection[1] = new google.maps.LatLng(13.74428, 100.5404525); collection[2] = new google.maps.LatLng(13.744108, 100.543098); var pointMarkerImage = new Array();//store image of marker in array var pointMarker = new Array();//store marker in array //create number of markers based on collection.length function setPoint(){ for(var i=0; i<collection.length; i++){ var pointMarkerImage[i] = new google.maps.MarkerImage('marker.png'); var pointMarker[i] = new google.maps.Marker({ position: collection[i], map: map, icon: pointMarkerImage[i], animation: google.maps.Animation.BOUNCE, title: "collection"+ i }); google.maps.event.addListener(pointMarker[i], 'click', function() { window.open("blog/page01.html","_blank","toolbar=yes, location=yes, directories=no, status=no, menubar=yes, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, copyhistory=yes") }; ); } } ```
