Marker and popup on google map2

Question

This is the first time I am doing something on google map2. I have stored the lat and lang to my database and I want to display all of that on my map. Now I would like to get the marker on each pin. Here is my code for it:

<script type="text/javascript"> 
function GMaps_Load()
{
    if (GBrowserIsCompatible())
    {
        var map = new GMap2(document.getElementById("GMaps_canvas"));
        map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
        map.addControl(new GSmallMapControl());
        <?php if(count($val) >0){ ?>
        var cords = [23.32323,32.43455

22.5656,27.656464]

        for ( var i = 0; i < cords.length; i++ )
        {
            var marker = new GMarker( cords[ i ] );
            //alert(cords[ i ]);
            map.addOverlay( marker );
        }

        // #2a -- calculate center
        var latlngbounds = new GLatLngBounds( );
        for ( var i = 0; i < cords.length; i++ )
        {
          latlngbounds.extend( cords[ i ] );
        }
        // #2b -- set center using the calculated values
        map.setCenter( latlngbounds.getCenter( ), map.getBoundsZoomLevel( latlngbounds ) );
        //22.9946923,72.5282428

        map.openInfoWindow(map.getCenter(),document.createTextNode("Hello, world"));



        map.addOverlay(marker); }}
</script>

here you can see in this line of code map.openInfoWindow(map.getCenter(),document.createTextNode("Hello, world"));

I get the popup in the centre of the map but I would like it on all the pins. How can I achieve that?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Unless I'm reading your code wrong you're only passing 1 parameter to the marker, cords[I] would contain 1 number entry from the array instead of a valid LatLng set of values as required.

Check the API for details on how to create a LatLng.

Answer 2

Official documentation says that Version 2 of this API has been officially deprecated. Please use version 3.

Adding infowindows to markers is simple. See this example .

With gmaps.js it gets more simpler :)
