Marker content (infoWindow) Google Maps
I'm trying to add infoWindow's to multiple markers on a Google Map. The closest I have come is to get an infoWindow to display the last address you can see in the array, on all markers. The bit of code I have pasted below does not work, I get an "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property '4' of undefined". I'm sure this is a scope issue, but I'm going round in circles here and could do with some help:
var hotels = [
['ibis Birmingham Airport', 52.452656, -1.730548, 4, 'Ambassador Road<br />Bickenhill<br />Solihull<br />Birmingham<br />B26 3AW','(+44)1217805800','(+44)1217805810','info@ibisbhamairport.com','http://www.booknowaddress.com'],
['ETAP Birmingham Airport', 52.452527, -1.731644, 3, 'Ambassador Road<br />Bickenhill<br />Solihull<br />Birmingham<br />B26 3QL','(+44)1217805858','(+44)1217805860','info@etapbhamairport.com','http://www.booknowaddress.com'],
['ibis Birmingham City Centre', 52.475162, -1.897208, 2, 'Ladywell Walk<br />Birmingham<br />B5 4ST','(+44)1216226010','(+44)1216226020','info@ibisbhamcity.com','http://www.booknowaddress.com']
];
for (var i = 0; i < hotels.length; i++) {
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(hotels[i][1], hotels[i][2]),
map: map,
icon: image,
title: hotels[i][0],
zIndex: hotels[i][2]
});
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow();
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
var markerContent = hotels[i][4];
infoWindow.setContent(markerContent);
infoWindow.open(map, this);
});
}
Thanks in anticipation.
We've solved this, although we didn't think having the addListener outside of the for would make any difference, it seems to. Here's the answer:
Create a new function with your information for the infoWindow in it:
function addInfoWindow(marker, message) {
var infoWindow = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: message
});
google.maps.event.addListener(marker, 'click', function () {
infoWindow.open(map, marker);
});
}
Then call the function with the array ID and the marker you want to create:
addInfoWindow(marker, hotels[i][3]);
Although this question has already been answered, I think this approach is better : http://jsfiddle.net/kjy112/3CvaD/ extract from this question on StackOverFlow google maps - open marker infowindow given the coordinates:
Each marker gets an "infowindow" entry :
function createMarker(lat, lon, html) {
var newmarker = new google.maps.Marker({
position: new google.maps.LatLng(lat, lon),
map: map,
title: html
});
newmarker['infowindow'] = new google.maps.InfoWindow({
content: html
});
google.maps.event.addListener(newmarker, 'mouseover', function() {
this['infowindow'].open(map, this);
});
}
