Refreshing Google Maps API V3 Layers

 原文  2014-09-05 14:08:46  2   8    javascript/ html/ google-maps

Question

I've been having trouble getting Google Maps API v3 to update correctly. I've got a javascript timer running that should be refreshing the traffic layer periodically but I'm not seeing it happening.

As I understand the documentation, I should be able to say something like "layer.setMap(null);" followed by "layer.setMap(map);" to refresh the layer (source: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#TrafficLayer ).

I know the new map tiles are being downloaded (for example, I can see them in the Resources section of Chrome's dev tools), but the browser isn't rendering them. There is probably something fundamental I'm missing.

I've tried several things, to include:

Is there a way to ensure the browser will render the new images without forcing a full page reload?

Below is a simplified version of the page (based off of the answer from Google Maps refresh traffic layer ).

<html>

        <title>Map Testing</title>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?v=3.exp&libraries=weather"></script>
        <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>

        <script type="text/javascript">
            var map,
                trafficLayer,
                mapTimerHandle;

            $(function() {
                initMap();
                mapTimerHandle = setInterval(refreshMap, 15000);
            });

            function refreshMap() {
                trafficLayer.setMap(null);
                trafficLayer.setMap(map);
            }

            function initMap() {
                var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map');

                map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, {zoom: 15, center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.7127, -74.0059)});

                trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();

                trafficLayer.setMap(map);
            }
        </script>

Ok, what i've found, and what is mentioned above is that trafficLayer.setMap(null) and trafficLayer.setMap(map) - just switches tiles with drawn traffic to tiles without traffic. Also map.setZoom(map.getZoom()) (and any other variaties of zoom) doesn't work because tiles are already in cache and google scripts don't even try to download fresh ones from server.

Also, seems that if you just open google maps and turn on traffic layer it's not refreshing! Such a lame, google!

So we have to find a different way to solve it.

First thought is to use window.location.reload(true) wich will flush image cache - and we see it works. Not a good way to go though - reloading whole page taking too long. How about reloading images? Let's try!

function reloadTiles() {
    var tiles = $("#map-canvas").find("img");
    for (var i = 0; i < tiles.length; i++) {
        var src = $(tiles[i]).attr("src");
        if (/googleapis.com\/vt\?pb=/.test(src)) {              
            var new_src = src.split("&ts")[0] + '&ts=' + (new Date()).getTime();
            $(tiles[i]).attr("src", new_src);                                                   
        }               
    }
}

And we call this function every N seconds: setInterval(reloadTiles, 5000)

some comments:

$("#map-canvas").find("img") - will grab all images from your map container ( map-canvas in my case). Not all are tiles so we need to filter them out - i've noticed that tiles are loaded from domains like mts(digit).googleapis.com/vt?pb=(hella long param) . Other map images are loaded from maps.gstatic.com .

So we get tile images, add bogus parameter and change their src. Profit!

Btw, i've found that traffic really changes in real time - tiles may be different each second.

Edit

Oh, sorry, here's working sample. And it's a snowy Moscow with a huge traffic :)

I use the traffic layer quite a bit. I have added a button to toggle the layer but found to hide it I had to set the layer itself as null.

My code to show the layer:

if (MapManager.trafficLayer == null)
{
      MapManager.trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
}
MapManager.trafficLayer.setMap(MapManager.map);

Then to go and hide the layer again:

MapManager.trafficLayer.setMap(null);
MapManager.trafficLayer = null;

In an ideal way what you suggested above would be better but for me this seems to work just fine.

The way you are refreshing the layer is working fine.

Here is your code edited to prove this:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Map Testing</title>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api   /js?v=3.exp&libraries=weather"></script>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">
        var map, trafficLayer;          
        var vis = false;

        $(function ()
        {
            initMap();            
        });

        function refreshMap()
        {               
            if (vis)            
            {
                trafficLayer.setMap(null)
                vis = false;
            }
            else
            {
                trafficLayer.setMap(map);
                vis = true;
            }            
        }

        function initMap()
        {
            var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map');
            map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, {zoom: 15, center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.7127, -74.0059)});

            trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();

            trafficLayer.setMap(map);
            vis = true;
            setInterval(function ()
            {
                refreshMap();
            }, 3000);
        }
    </script>
</head>
<body style="margin:0px;">
    <div id="map" style="width:100%; height:100%;"></div>
</body>

I added a visibility property to toggle the layer every 2 seconds. You will notice how it turns on and off. Because the way you called it I think it did not have enough time to refresh.

Also I added the interval in the initMap function after the layer's map was first set.

Hope that helps.

EDIT. Just to add to this, where the traffic is real time where supported, in some cases its based on historic data and will not refresh over a short period. But the traffic data is fetched at the time of each request as specified in the docs: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/trafficlayer#traffic_layer

try this code snippet, may be this help you out

 function init() { var map, trafficLayer, mapTimerHandle; var mapDiv = document.getElementById('map'); map = new google.maps.Map(mapDiv, { zoom: 14, center: new google.maps.LatLng(40.7127, -74.0059) }); trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer(); trafficLayer.setMap(map); } $(document).ready(function () { init(); setInterval(function () { google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize'); map.fitBounds(); }, 2000); });
 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false"></script> <div id="map" style="width:600px; height:450px"></div>

Google documentation says:

The Google Maps API allows you to add real-time traffic information (where supported) to your maps using the TrafficLayer object. Traffic information is provided for the time at which the request is made .

I believe your refreshMap() function will only hide and show the traffic layer (via the .setMap() method) and will not actually fetch updated traffic data (if there is).

So the only efficient way would be to renew your request by re-initiating the TrafficLayer() object.

EDIT: I've monitored the network traffic and saw no new requests are made. The view has to be changed to force new data to be fetched (for example by re-setting the zoom)...

function refreshMap() {
    trafficLayer.setMap(null);
    trafficLayer = null;
    map.setZoom(map.getZoom()); // this renews the view and forces new data to be requested
    setTimeout(function () {
        trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
        trafficLayer.setMap(map);
    }, 100);
}

So with the updated method above, the JS file below is re-fetched from https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js/ :

ViewportInfoService.GetViewportInfo?1m6&1m2&1d40.67711350268867&2d-74.09477919619036&2m2&1d40.747903965754034&2d-73.91666125686464&2u15&4sen-US&5e0&6sm%40285000000&7b0&8e0&9b0&callback=_xdc_._e0qzs3&token=110512

that contains traffic data such as:

...,["traffic",[[40.74725696280421,-74.102783203125],[40.75557964275589,-73.916015625]]]...

I haven't work with traffic layers yet, so I'm not sure if this will work for you. I read the setZoom(getZoom()) trick but when I need to refresh the tiles (the classic one. The map itself) it didn't work either. I need to show/hide a grid in Gmaps (without reloading the page)

After searching and testing I got it working with these three lines:

        google.maps.event.trigger(map, 'resize'); // Can't remember if really helps
        map.setZoom( map.getZoom() -1 );    
        map.setZoom( map.getZoom() +1 ); // It won't flicker or make the transition between zoom levels. GMap just ignore the zoom change but redraw the tiles :/

I repeat. I don't know if this works with traffic layers but test it anyways. It kept me awake 2 days.

Sergio's answer is still the correct one but I believe Google updated their API and URLs (a risk mentioned by a commenter).

The correct test would be now:

....
if (/googleapis.com\/maps\/vt\?pb=/.test(src)) {

This might work for you. 在此处输入图片说明

    constructor(){
         this.mapOptions =  {
            zoom: 11,
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID,
            mapTypeControl: false,
            streetViewControl: false,
            fullscreenControl: false
          }

         this.map = new google.maps.Map(
           this.mapElement.nativeElement,
           this.mapOptions
         );
         this.map.setCenter(this.latLng);
         this.map.setZoom(7);

         this.trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
         // console.log(trafficLayer);
         this.trafficLayer.setMap(this.map);
        }

I Added traffic layer on the map initially, using the below code to toggle the traffic based on the user requirement

    // use this method to toggle traffic layer on the map. 
    trafficLayerOnMap() {
        if (this.isTrafficEnabled) {
          this.trafficLayer.setMap(null);
          this.isTrafficEnabled = false;
        } else {
          this.trafficLayer = new google.maps.TrafficLayer();
          this.trafficLayer.setMap(this.map);
          this.isTrafficEnabled = true;
        }
      }
