sessionStorage和Google Maps

Question

I'm attempting to use Web Storage (sessionStorage in particular) to save an instance of a Google Map and markers thats being generated based on a user's Postal Code.

The functionality of this is:

1. User searches for 'store locations' with a postal code.
2. Map generates, with markers on each found location.
3. User clicks on a result/marker - linking to a 'store location landing page'.
4. User can return to search.
5. Their searched map with results/markers should remain.

Is this possible with sessionStorage?

Thanks

Yes, this is possible, but sessionStorage is cleared out when the window is closed. If you want them to stay even when the window is closed, you should use localStorage .

To save data into sessionStorage, you'd use syntax like the following:

sessionStorage.setItem('name_of_key', 'value_for_key');
